Using an extensive empirical dataset of animal travel speeds (532 species), we show that this allometric heat-dissipation model best captures the hump-shaped trends in travel speed with body mass for flying, running, and swimming animals. This implies that the inabi...
In this section, we will be exploring the various animals that are commonly found on a farm, as well as some related activities and terms associated with farm life. This will give us a better understanding of farm animals and their behavior...
Speed is the fundamental constraint on animal movement, yet there is no general consensus on the determinants of maximum speed itself. Here, we provide a general scaling model of maximum speed with body mass, which holds across locomotion modes, ecosyste

The Garden snail is a perfect example of nature’s leisurely pace at its finest. These small creatures are among the slowest animals in the world, moving at a glacial speed of just 0.03 miles per hour. What they lack in speed, they make up for with their incredible ability to adapt to...
This speed is absolutely critical to its survival. Lacking any other formidable defenses at its disposal, the hare is a small and timid animal that can outrun predators with incredible bursts of speed and endurance. The hare is a very common sight, but many fall victim to ferocious predators...

Golden eagles use their agility and speed combined with powerful feet and massive, sharp talons to snatch up a variety of prey, mainly hares, rabbits, marmots and other ground squirrels. Golden eagles maintain home ranges or territories that may be as large as 200 km2 (77 sq mi). They ...
Pronghorns have large, protruding eyes with an enhanced vision. The eyes are protected from the sun by a set of long, black eyelashes. The long limbs and lightweight bone structure support the animal during long distance running at high speed. The hooves have a cartilaginous padding to minimize...
A neuropixels probe was centred above the craniotomy and lowered with a 10° angle from the axis perpendicular to the skull surface at a speed of 0.2 mm min−1. The tip of the probe was located at 3 mm ventral from the pial surface. After a slow and smooth descent, the ...
