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 human footspeed on record is 44.7 km/h (12.4 m/s or 27.78 mph), seen during a 100 meters sprint (average speed between the 60th and the 80th meter) by Usain Bolt. Maximum human sprint speed is strikingly slower than that of many animals.
