The fastest insects on land are certain large tropical cockroaches of the family Dictyoptera. In an experiment carried out at the University of California at Berkeley, USA, in 1991, a Periplaneta americana registered a record speed of 3.36 m.p.h., or 50 body lengths per second.\n\nAccording to SeaWorld, the fastest marine organism is the Blue fin tuna, which is capable of reaching speeds of up to 55 miles per hour (!!) for short periods. \n\nA few other contenders I was able to dig up: \n\nBottlenosed Dolphin: Maximum speed of about 40 MPH \nKiller Whale: Maximum speed of about 30 MPH \nShark: (Mako) Maximum speed of about 20 MPH \nPenguin: Maximum speed of about 15 MPH \n\nThe cheetah can attain speeds up to 70-72 mph\n\nThe peregrine Falcon is the fastest bird on record reaching horizontal cruising speeds of 65-90 kmh ( 40-55 mph) and not exceeding speeds of 105-110 kmh (65-68 mph). When stooping, the peregrine flies at much greater speeds however, varying from 160-440 kmh (99-273 mph)! \n\nthere you go...

most likely fish, or another animal that lives in water, perhaps an early reptile

Your speed doesn't depend on the number of legs u have,it depends on the speed of motion of ur legs & ur physical health\n\nexample:\nThe Cheetah is the fastest animal on the earth (it has 4 legs) & \nthe Turtle is the slowest animal (it has 4 legs too)

The blue whale is the largest animal on Earth.  Its heart is the size of a Volkswagen Bug, its tail is as wide as the wingspan of a small aircraft, and some of its blood vessels are so wide that you could swim through them.  \n\nIt is also considered the loudest animal by decibel measure, but since sound travels better than water than through air, perhaps a land animal (i.e. african elephant) deserves the title.

Giant tortoise average speed is 0.17 Miles Per hour in land\n\nCheck the link to find the speed fo different sizes turtles \nhttp://hypertextbook.com/facts/1999/RachelShweky.shtml\n\nCheck the speed of other animals here\nhttp://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0004737.html

Either a slick shark or a dolphin. Sharks are amazing creatures which live for hundreds of years and dolphins are just awesome

You have to consider the time from egg to death.\n\n\nSo, that's how I arrived at the answer--from animals in captivity. The longest-lived captive animal is the Giant Tortoise (177 years) and the shortest, the gastrotich (3 days).\n\n(Answered by April Holladay, science journalist, April 4, 2001)\n\nFurther Surfing:\n\nLife span, Encyclopedia Britannica\n\nFigure Caption: [© Scott Camazine, used with permission, Pennsylvania State University] A fruit fly lives about 37 days.\n\nQ: Which mammal has longest and which the shortest life span?\n\nA: If we just look at mammals, then primates are the longest lived group and man is the longest lived of the primates: 122 years (Jeanne Louise Calment, 1875 - 1997). Tiny shrews live the shortest: maybe 1 to 1.5 years. Interesting enough, among primates the bigger your brain, the longer you live. The faster you live, though, the shorter you live. Squirrel-like rodents live two or three times longer than mouse-like rodents because their rate of metabolism is slower.\n\n(Answered by April Holladay, science journalist, April 4, 2001)

Do you mean category of animals which are slow in reaction.\nSlender loris,sloths.

A large endangered mammal that is notorious for its poor eyesight. The largest can weight up to 1,500 kg and be as high as 1.60 m. Despite its mass it is a fast animal that can run to speeds as high as 60 km/h.

Cheetah, they can run 60 mph. (on land)\nPeregrine falcon, it can fly up 100-200 mph (in the air) \nBaleen Whale, it can swim up to 30 mph (in water)

A quote from the web site below:\n"On land, Alligators are not capable of running faster than a slow human, top speed is probably between 10 and 15 miles per hour. There is a commonly repeated myth about alligators being able to move at 35 or 40 miles per hour, but this is not true. If you want to learn all about Alligators and their relatives, visit The Crocodilian Biology Database."\n\nHope that helps,\n\nm

The Cheetah (derived from Sanskrit word Chitraka meaning "Speckled") (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family (Felidae) that hunts by speed rather than by stealth or pack tactics. It is the fastest of all terrestrial animals and can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h (62 mph) in short bursts

I am willing to bet that you are looking for the Elephant.  There are many sites on the web which have stated that the elephant is the only mammal which can not jump.  This is NOT the truth.\nJust on the Web alone there are several others listed including the okapi, guinea pig and raccoon who are also reported as not being able to jump.  (see references).\nIn the same class as the elephant, both Hippopotamus and Rhinoceroses come closer to skipping than jumping.  Like the elephant, their body mass is too great in relation to their mass.\nIn addition, all bats have weak legs and usually have trouble walking, let alone jumping.\nIt has been recorded that sloths move too slow to jump.  Plus they seldom climb down out of their trees.\nGiraffes are known to run, but apparently always have one “foot on the ground.”  Due to their neck structure, it may not be possible for them to jump in the usual meaning of the word.\nDue to their odd physical shapes and relatively slow speeds, echidna (spiny anteater), \nduck-billed platypus and koala might also be listed among the non-jumpers.\nFinally, there are the non-land mammals most of which can come at least part way out of the water, but none have legs and by definition, can not jump.  These would include whales, porpoises, dolphins, manatees and maybe even sea lions.

Basically predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs reach their top speed faster than the hooved animal prey does. Certain prey animals have faster top speeds than their predators but they can not get up to top speed fast enough to outrun them. The predator must get within a certain distance of its prey undetected so the predator has very little ground to make up in the chase.

sorry.. your Question seems truncated...\n\nShould be the Sperm Whale I think
