Polar bears can run faster than the world's fastest human - Usain Bolt - but thankfully for us they're more long distance wanderers than sprinters. There are around 22,000-31,000 polar bears in the wild and they are classified as vulnerable on the IUCN RedList.
The gyrfalcon can reach speeds of up to 209 km/h (130mph). On average they fly 80-110km/h (50-68mph). This makes them one of the fastest animals in the world and certainly the fastest animal in the arctic tundra.
It took him 7 minutes, 58 seconds to run two miles. That's roughly 15 mph sustained for two miles. Even the fastest sprinter, Usain Bolt, couldn't outrun a bear. Bolt set a world record back in 2009 and his calculated speed for 100 meters was 23.75 miles per hour.
The red kangaroo hops over the Australian continent at speeds of up to 54.6 mph (88 km/h).
No. A lion can run about 35mph on short bursts. Usain bolt's average speed during his World record 100m sprint of 9.58 seconds was 23.35mph and his top speed was 27.8mph. A lion could probably run 100m in around 8 seconds flat or lower.
If Bolt were to choose to be any animal, it would be the Peregrine Falcon. Faster than a sports car, this small predator can reach up to a top speed of 161 mph. That's five times faster than Bolt's top speed.
A gazelle can also outrun a lion at long distances, which is part of the reason why lions need to be sneaky, explosive, and decisive with their movements.
Greyhound (46 mph) Kangaroo (44 mph) African wild dog (44 mph)
Said to be one of the most dangerous animals in Australia, the Saltwater Crocodile is an aggressive and territorial animal, and is the largest reptile in the world in terms of their mass – known to reach over 1000kg!
A pronghorn can run up to 60 miles per hour, which makes them the second-fastest land animal in the world (cheetah – 61 mph). Although second to the cheetah, the pronghorn can sustain its speed for much longer.
However, grizzly bears are tougher than polar bears as they possess stronger and longer claws and an elongated skull with sharp and long canines that can completely separate the flesh from bone.
All bear species could easily chase down the average human. The only scenario where a human might out-sprint a bear is if a polar bear was chasing Usain Bolt. A human can, however, outrun a bear in terms of distance.
The polar bear is the world's largest species of bear and the largest land predator. There is a large difference in size between male and female polar bears with the male weighing anything from 350 to 800 kilograms.
The polar bear is the largest and most powerful carnivore on land, a title it shares with a subspecies of brown bear called the Kodiak bear.
Polar bears have a strong cultural significance for Arctic people, and beyond, polar bears are top predators in their food web.
The most common verbal greeting is a simple “Hey”, “Hello”, or “Hi”. Some people may use Australian slang and say “G'day” or “G'day mate”. However, this is less common in cities. Many Australians greet by saying “Hey, how are you?”.
Quokkas, famous for posing in selfies, are native to Rottnest Island where about 10,000 live a sheltered life free from predators or traffic. They are classified as a vulnerable species and have been almost completely wiped out on the mainland.
So, if a lion and kangaroo fight, the lion will win. The lion is a stealthy hunter who can sneak up on the kangaroo and pounce before the marsupial knows what's happening. Additionally, lions are intelligent hunters and will adapt their strategy depending on the circumstances.
A kangaroo would win a fight against a human being.
In the wild, a kangaroo will try to grasp their prey and then tear into it with the claws on its feet. This will inflict devastating wounds on a human being or even disembowel them. Without weapons and armor, humans are fragile to these wild animals.
Other than humans, dogs—including large pets and dingoes—are the main predators of kangaroos. Dogs usually operate in packs to attack and kill kangaroos by running them down.
Lions (male. and female) are afraid of large mammals like giraffes, hippos and elephants, but they are also afraid of their. day-to-day prey.
The legend of Sala who killed the lion to save his Jaina preceptor Sudatta and had won a kingdom for himself ideally fitted into the animal-slayer motif already in vogue.
