The top speed man has run is about 25 miles per hour; the fastest dog, the greyhound, reaches a speed of 40 miles per hour; racehorses have been timed at 50 miles per hour; and antelopes can go close to 60 miles per hour.
But none of them can come close to the world’s fastest runner, the cheetah. No animal on earth can outrun the cheetah’s 70-mile per hour speed.
This swift, graceful jungle cat lives in Asia and Africa, where it can be tamed and used for hunting. The native hunters blindfold the animal and hold it on a leash.
When game appears, the cheetah is freed. It then makes a running dash for its prey and holds it down until the hunters can reach it.

the fastest on air is actually the SR-71 blackdird (its a jet)
But the falcon had to use its muscles to build up altitude in order to make the dive.
but a falcon has the ability to get up in the air by itself, unlike a rock
the Peregrine Falcon is only really fast because it has its speed and gravity so the Peregrine Falcon is kinda cheating
this is the best of all the cheetah
Not true. it is the perigan falcon which can reach speeds of upto 125mph when diving for prey.
