moroccan flic-flac spiders ,if provoked or threatened, can escape by doubling their normal walking speed using forward or backward flips similar to acrobatic flic-flac movements.

the fastest terrestrial animal is the cheetah, which can attain maximal sprint speeds of approximately 104 km/h (64 mph). the fastest running lizard is the black iguana, which has been recorded moving at speed of up to 34.9 km/h (21.7 mph).

terrestrial locomotion
in rats, hippocampal theta is seen mainly in two conditions: first, when an animal is running, walking, or in some other way actively interacting with its surroundings; second, during rem sleep (vanderwolf, 1969). the frequency of the theta waves increases as a function of running speed, starting at about 6.5 hz on the low end, and increasing to about 9 hz at the fastest running speeds, although higher frequencies are sometimes seen for brief high-velocity movements such as jumps across wide gaps. in larger species of animals, theta frequencies are generally lower. the behavioral dependency also seems to vary by species: in cats and rabbits, theta is often observed during states of motionless alertness. this has been reported for rats as well, but only when they are fearful (sainsbury et al., 1987).
