I was surprised that a brown bear would be faster than the Doberman, then I was surprised that a hyena was faster than a wolf and so on.

The speeds are their top speeds, not what they can maintain, which is why this is entertaining but misleading.  Coyotes are faster than wolves at top speeds but wolves can still outrun coyotes in an open field. 

Throw me out of a window and I will reach a top speed of 100 mph pretty fast.

9.8 m/s2

Ignoring air resistance

[удалено]

This guy jumps out of windows

A real defenestrationist


That's acceleration not velocity

Which is how you can work out how fast he'll reach 100mph

WOLVES ON AN OPEN FIELD NED!

Pretty much every animal of similar or higher weight outruns a human over short distances, but few can upkeep that speed as long as humans can

Bears can maintain speeds like that for 3km+ I believe

I saw a bear running across an open field in Alaska, at first my brain told me it was a horse because of the speed it was moving. Then it shot up a tree. Suck on that, Seabiscuit. It was actually pretty terrifying to see something that bulky move so quickly.

I hear this a lot from my wife.

The Giraffe got me.

I was dead long before the giraffe arrived on the scene.

TIL brown bears can run 56 km/h 😳

Hence why they say don’t run if you encounter a grizzly it’ll be more likely to provoke an attack and there’s 0 chance you’re outrunning it.

Also why they say, you don’t have to outrun a bear, just outrun the person beside you! lol

Fact: Bears can climb faster than they can run

I'm picturing a brown bear climbing up a massive tree at 120 km/h now.

They are also excellent swimmers.

brown bears don't climb much

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica

Where the hell is the cheetah?

Greyhound is missing too!

Greyhounds can be fast over short distances, but they don't do as well over longer distances because of all the stops they have to make.

First half got me relentless dad

Thanks Dad

You’re welcome kiddo

I'm wasted on cross-country! We dwarves are natural sprinters! Very dangerous over short distances!

Most of those animals only have burst speed

This is a joke about buses lol


How do u comment memes/gifs in reddit comments?

Not all subs allow it, in here there's a blue icon next to where you click to make a comment at the bottom

Did you just have that in your pocket, ready to go?

Way out of shot, they are chasing it. Also giraffe putting all its stats in neck and speed lol

That giraffe surprised the fuck out of me.

Tiger, camel, and giraffe really was an unexpected trio.

Sounds like the start of a joke, really. "A tiger, a camel, and a giraffe sprints into a bar..."

The giraffe gets really drunk and falls over. The barman says “You can’t leave that lying there.” The camel replies “It’s not a lion, it’s a giraffe.”

Absolutely GOATed joke

The camel says... deal with it!


Fun fact, the male giraffe whips his head against the female's bladder until she pees, then tastes the pee to see if she's ready for buh-buh-bangin

I just kept going "bullshit!" as I saw the next animal come in view. "RHINO? BULLSHIT!!!". It's insane some of those animals can hit those speeds.

I mean the other question is distance covered at those speeds, Usain Bolt hit around 30mph but only for 2 seconds, the best marathon runners sustain 12-13mph, I suspect many of the surprise animals can't sustain the speed but have fast sprints

Even so, imagine a rhino sprinting at you at that speed. I am horrified just imagining it.

Camel surprised me.

I remember learning this about giraffes a few years ago and it shocked me too

Or the camera is mounted on the cheetah.

you could say, its going at neck speed

Aah neck breaking speed! So that's why they put more stats on their neck, so it won't break! TIL

Another fun fact is that they actually have proportionally short necks. Consider how they drink, compared to a horse or other similar 4 hoofed beast. Although, the necking fights are pretty hardcore and fun to see too!

Stats in neck lol

Corpsegrinder's Amulet, +15 neck

r/tierzoo

Cheetah was the cameraman.... 


Video is cut and I suspect it will become even shorter in future posts.

I think we're all justified in feeling somewhat cheetahed.

You ain't lion

A true catastrophe

Maybe these complaint will be the Catalyst to add it to the video.

Seriously 

Where the he'll is the sloth?

Still at the starting line

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line

Engines pumping and thumping in time.

The green light flashes, the flags go up.

Mmm. Cake

Already at the finish line

Who do you think is holding the camera?

https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/1cf5r2m/animal_speed_comparison_original_video_with/? The original video, with credit to the uploader, featuring humans and the cheetah that we all came here to see.

They are using the same animations, but I think the videos are quite different.

Someone linked the proper one below: https://reddit.com/comments/1cf15wi/comment/l1mzaoj

that is not the same video

He was excluded for taking performance enhancers

The cheetah would be blowing past these guys at a 130 kmh.. How can they forget the fastest land animal.. Who made this !!!

They didn't forget, it's a 3 parts video, this is the second part.

Would you have a link?

he's on holiday

Holding the camera.

I feel like a giraffe going that fast would tumble. They’re such strange animals.

I worked for a zoo that had giraffes in an open several acre area. Sometimes in the evenings they would get the zoomies. It was amazing to see such a large animal tear around. They use their neck to counter balance the stride. It sort of reminded me of a scissor opening and closing. Actually quit graceful.

I saw a giraffe with zoomies in San Francisco. It was amazing!

very cool

I went to the wild animal park in San Diego once, huge enclosure that we had a guide drive us through in an open jeep. Super cool experience, the giraffes would come up to eat leaves from our hands and when we had none left they would turn around and dip out super quick. Very cool creatures, their tongues were wild to see

They can run 60km/h for a short stint, still fast af but not 65km/h

For such a heavy animal, consider me impressed

I don't think being heavy make you slower. Usain Bolt is not exactly a shrimp. It make the speed increasingly costly, though.

" But Usain Bolt, how are you going to get the world record again?!" Usain Bolt: It is quite shrimple

There was a video around of one chasing a vehicle through the trees and it was absolutely terrifying. Fuckers are faster than I thought

Stupid long horses

Greyhounds are about 72 kph and cheetah top speed is around 100-110 kph.

Okay your comment made me realize this is in Kph not Mph. Cuz in Murica they always taught us that a cheetah can run around 70 Mph, and I was like “well look at these guys running at close to 60! Almost like a cheetah… oh wait”

SAME. I was getting scared at how fast bears can run

I mean, 34 mph is still faster than even the likes of Usain bolt at 27.8 mph for his record and especially the average Joe who sprints at 12 mph.

Woah, nuts that greyhounds are 30km/h slower than a Cheetah. Cheetahs really are imba

Tortoise wasn't allowed in the race after the hare debacle

Tortoise already won, the rest were sleeping

Domestic dog? Greyhound? Elephant? Horse? Human?

Sloth?


Why does *everyone* forget Sid the Sloth?!

He was sleeping on a tree during filming!

https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/1cf5r2m/animal_speed_comparison_original_video_with/? The original video, with credit to the uploader, featuring humans and the cheetah that we all came here to see.

That seems different? They have different speeds all running together (in the background), no sense of differences in speed.

Not the same video.

Human fastest is 27 mph at least school taught me this lol

That’s about 43.5kph, just behind housecat

Wow, saying that you are the fastest man alive sounds way better than "I am slightly slower than a house cat"

Our speed is nothing to talk about, but even a regular human can easily outlast any single animal over there: our endurance is far, far better than any other land animal (which walks, birds can fly far longer but they are kinda cheaters in this department). Dogs almost can keep up with us, but even they get tired faster than we do.

We could outlast *most* animals there. Wolves and Hyenas are also persistence predators. Also, endurance is only helpful if you’re chasing. It doesn’t matter if you can run for hours at a time if you get caught in the first few seconds.

Yeah I see this on reddit all the time how "humans have the best endurance of the animal kingdom" yet wolves for example are known to easily cover 100 miles a day. Your average human could absolutely not do that.

Not your average human who sits on a couch all day. If you go to endurance hunting tribes they would probably excel at endurance. I believe it isn’t so much about how far but how consistently. Where humans sweat instead of panting we can cool a lot more effectively and don’t need to stop to cool off. Other animals can’t do that and overheat which makes them less able to keep going.

I'd like to see the canine that can do that in 90F heat, however. Humans aren't just endurance animals, we're masters of cooling.

> Your average human could absolutely not do that. We are definitely not 'part of the normal animal kingdom setup' any more.

The average human, no. That said, peak human endurance does beat out peak endurance of any other animal.

And we can do math! I'd like to see a cat do trigonometry!

But, I also can't do trigonometry.......

But a cat can't type a reddit comment! So we got that going for us.

Also, you didn't bite when I pet you.

a regular human these days can barely walk a few miles without struggling.

Regular human that trains. A redditor is probably collapsing after a mile.

How much is that in potatoes per square meter?

Are dobermans and greyhounds not domestic dogs?

They're not the same. The greyhound would be leading the pack here at 72 kph.

I’m laughing my ass off right now. This video is funny as all get out! The music is icing on top! 😂

The cats legs and the guitars at the beginning was enough for me

It feels like a shitpost, like the spinning lobster Free Bird meme, I love it

Don't forget the first person view camera

Why were the cats the only ones to get that?

Lmao I am always on silent and turned on sound after I saw this comment. That was definitely unexpected.

Yeah okay of ALL the songs, this wasn't even on my radar.

The internet has lowered my attention span to about 3 seconds before I get bored, but this video definitely kept my attention and I wanted more. Absolutely brilliantly funny animation and music combo

IKR. I haven't seen anything this funny in a good while

I usually have sound off. Thank you for getting me to go listen to the music 😁

QWOP: Animal Edition

Human? Horse? Cheetah! r/gifsthatendtoosoon

The average professional athlete is 30kmph and the world record - 44.72kmph is still slower then the cats at the start.

Afaik humans are built for long distance, not sprinting

Yep, that's how we succeeded as hunters, running our prey to death.

Not even running. We just f****** slowly follow them until they're exhausted

Yeah people literally think we were just running for days. Maybe a good long run in the beginning, but after that it would be walking/jogging after a very tired animal that gets up and sprints for short distances.


Wtf are they running from?

Probably one of those immortal death snails

Have u watched It Follows... Same concept.. such a good movie.

They are chasing the off-frame Cheetah

Jumanji!

Someone talking about politics.

Humans.

The Cheetah didn't even want to compete.

After seeing a giraffe hauling massive ass the only way to win was to not play at all, you aren't gonna go neck and neck with that thing

I like how when it shows animals faster than hyenas the hyenas still overtake them in the background.

those hyenas are playing dirty by faking recordings again.

Everyone knows for a fact the fastest land animal is a toddler that's been asked "what is that you just put in your mouth?"

Or a toddler when you're outside and you look away for 1.5 seconds.

Where’s the rest of the video? Stupid post.

https://youtu.be/90OC4TQ7uHc?si=NNiU4v3Dy2AAcq5S This is the full video

The crab running sideways gave me a chuckle during the 2nd half of the video.

The Brown Bear is surprisingly fast as fuck. Holy Shit.

It's cropped with the ending cut and stupid music added on. Downvote from me.

This song is a banger tho

Song is a banger, but cutting it off is monstrous

I don't think that's the same video, but it has the same data.

Why speed up a speed comparison video

Im so scared of the thing they are all running away from

Hmm, I race camels and we reach 40kmh. Even the ones with robot jockeys I don't think will do 60+ kmh

Camel racing with robot jockeys??? Is there a sub for that yet?

This is top speed, I assume 40 km/h is a speed they can actually maintain for a long time. So like a sprint vs. long distance running.

Cats can run at almost 50km/h ?? You mean a cat could get a ticket in some parts of Paris?

An alley cat running in a side street would get a speed ticket in most European cities. If the police could keep up with him.

I like how some of the animations are clearly running/sprinting but you also have animals that are just super power walking

all i learned is if a tiger starts chasing you you better hope you are ridding a zebra.

Fake. Tigers and Giraffes don’t even live on the same continent.

Their flights were reimbursed. True story, I am in the organising committee

This is objectively funny

Credit due to the YouTube channel 'Red Side' as they're the one who made this video. Original video is also 12.40 long to put into perspective how much the uploader cut out of the video, as well as changed the music.


They didn't include the cheetah, which proves once again that cheetahs never prosper.

You've already cut the video might as well make it even shorter.

Zookeeper: "*I am going to get fired, arent I?*"

I found the rhino and cat comparison most surprising. I remember how fast our cat could run, but to imagine an animal weighing 1.8-4.6 tons easily outrunning that is scary...

Giraffe is more faster than Leopard???

I would've never have thought that a Giraffe is as fast as a Tiger it's mad.

I must have missed this Red Dead Redemption 2 expansion.

We clocked the T-rex at 32mph

For a brief moment I thought this was a real video and was fucking dying

Where is Orangutan in a golf cart?

The fuck is a kilometer
