Here, we report that the eyes of the snapping shrimp Alpheus heterochaelis have a temporal sampling rate of at least 160 Hz, making them the fastest-sampling eyes ever described in an aquatic animal. Fast-sampling eyes help flying animals detect objects moving across their retinas at high ...

Platypuses is a semi aquatic animal found in Eastern Australia. They have a duck like bill and grows up to a size of 20 inches. Actually, it’s bill contain 40000 electro-receptors and more than 60000 mechano-receptors. So that platypus can sense the pressure changes produced by its preys...
the fastest. This model is strongly supported by extensive empirical data (474 species, with body masses ranging from 30 μg to 100 tonnes) from terrestrial as well as aquatic ecosystems. Our approach unravels a fundamental constraint on the upper limit of animal movement, thus enabling a ...
57. The blood ‘Dracula ant’ has the fastest recorded animal movement when it snaps its mandible. This cannibalistic ant can go from zero to 200mph in 0.000015 seconds when it snaps its mandibles, that’s roughly 5,000 times faster than humans blink. 5 This is the fastest recorded moveme...
In the animal kingdom, some species are even faster than many supercars. Among them, the top positions are heldby birds. But in the group of land animals also some species who are built for speed. Here the list of 10 fastest land animals in the world ...

Penguins are flightless birds with impressive aquatic adaptations. Their wings are used as flippers to effortlessly propel them through water. Gentoo penguins, the world’s fastest swimming birds, can swim underwater at speeds of up to 22 mph (36 km/h). With thick layers of feathers and extra...
Animal soundscapes and the materialities of the sea: the de-territorialisation of aquatic animal management assemblage Drawing on assemblage thinking, we have traced how human and non-human actants come together and how marine mammals are framed, or governed, by the management practices of assembla...
As you know, cheetah, the fastest-running animal on land, can gain a top speed of 75 mph. The strong, long legs help cheetahs to gain this speed within seconds. Unlike other members of the big cats family, cheetahs are small and have a height of 3 feet. Cheetahs are native to Africa...
