No matter where in the world you go you’ll be surprised at the number of incredible wildlife species that exist. Some are common in many countries, and others are indigenous only to certain areas. Regardless of which continent they call home, each animal is special in its own unique way.
Some of the most interesting animals are those that possess seemingly unreal levels of speed. They’re able to defend themselves, prey upon other animals, or merely travel at rates no human being can ever hope to compete with. With that in mind, we thought it would be fun to seek out the 10 quickest animals on the planet and find out how fast they can really go!
The yellowfin tuna is often found in both tropical and subtropical seas around the world and usually swim within 330 feet of the surface. They have been known to range in size up to 94 inches in length and can weigh up to 440 pounds. Also known as the ahi tuna, the yellowfin can swim up to 46 miles per hour and is often sought after by sport fisherman.
The wahoo is another type of fish found in both tropical and subtropical oceans. The Hawaiian name for the wahoo is the “ono” and in some Caribbean and Central American areas it is referred to as the “Peto.” The wahoo is another incredibly popular fish sought after by sport fisherman and it can swim up to 47 miles per hour.
