The second fastest animal in the world, when considering speed in a horizontal sprint, is generally the Brazilian free-tailed bat (Tadarida brasiliensis), which can reach speeds of up to 99 miles per hour (160 kilometers per hour). The fastest animal is the peregrine falcon, which can dive at speeds exceeding 240 miles per hour (386 kilometers per hour).
If you are asking about the fastest terrestrial (land) animal, that title goes to the cheetah, which can run at speeds up to 60 to 70 miles per hour (97 to 113 kilometers per hour) over short distances.
