The Saharan silver ants are the fastest ants in the world, they can go up to 100 bps (human sized thatâs over 330 mph!) So ants are pretty fast. But here is a much faster little critter; the Paratarsotomus macropalpis (a small mite) can run a whopping 322 bps. As a human if we could run that it would be 1,300 mph!! Be glad we are big and they are not!
The fastest thoroughbred racehorse has reached top speeds of 55mph, almost double that of Usain Boltâs 100m world record top speed.

Thatâs nearly 4 seconds faster than Boltâs 100m world record and more than double his top speed.
