Detailed explanation-1: -Big brown bats are reported to be one of the fastest bats reaching speeds of up to 40 mph. Tigers live in jungles, and have been recorded going anywhere from 30 mph (48 km/h) to 40 mph (64 km/h); much like the cheetah and lion, however, they only maintain this for a short burst.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gazelles rely on their speed to escape from predators. Gazelles can reach speeds up to 60 mph in short bursts and sustain speeds of 30 to 40 mph. When running, gazelles use a bounding leap, called “pronking” or “stotting, ” which involves stiffly springing into the air with all four feet.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cheetahs are the world’s fastest land animal. They can reach speeds up to 68 miles per hour (110 km/h). Gazelles can also run fast about 50 mph (80 km/h). With that in mind they are able to escape from a cheetah’s grasp.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fact. Gazelles, like many of their relatives, evolved to run on tiptoes rather than flat feet. In fact, their hooves are modified toenails! Gazelles can run very fast, but only for short distances.
