    What is the fastest two-footed animal in the world?

    Question #11010. Asked by Geronimo.

    Gnomon

    The Falcon. They can reach speeds of 180 mph in a dive. Last time I counted, they had only two feet.

    The fastest human can run 100m in about 9 seconds, which is about 25 mph. A kangaroo can hop at 30 mph:

    So it seems top speed on land, the answer is the ostrich. If speed in the air counts, then the falcon is the answer.
