they are immediately identified with grey feathers and greenish-purple markings on their necks. rock pigeons are little tubby birds with small heads and short legs. pigeons congregate in flocks and peck for food while walking or running on the ground. when the flock is disturbed, it may leap into the air and circle numerous times before landing. they have an astonishing ability to find their way home from any area, which has made them popular as tamed pets and as carrier pigeons for sending messages. their highest speed has been measured at 97 miles per hour.

5. CHEETAH

source
the fastest land mammal on the planet is the cheetah. with the speed that would leave most cars in the dust, in about 3 seconds a cheetah can go from 0 mph to 60 miles an hour. cheetahs in the wild are estimated to be capable of speeds of over 70 miles per hour. Despite the fact that they can only maintain that pace for around 30 seconds at a time. These cats can pursue the prey rapidly and suddenly and are nimble at fast speeds. Cheetahs are known for their tawny, black-coated coats, which are individually arranged in a unique pattern that aids in animal identification. To begin a hunt, cheetahs stalk their target. When the timing is right, a cheetah will charge towards its prey, aiming to knock it down.

6. AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE

This particular breed, which is descended from Spanish horses, has grown into a sport of sprinting around tracks. Their predilection over shorter distances sets them apart from other thoroughbreds. The fastest horse in history attained a top speed of 55 mph. Despite the fact that quarter horses can live up to 35 years, their racing careers are usually just five years long. They are the most prevalent breed of a horse seen in competitive rodeo circuits, and they make great ranch horses when not racing.

7. LION

Another wild cat that may achieve amazing speeds is the African lion. They don't have the endurance to keep up with their prey for long periods of time, but they can sprint at 60 mph in short bursts. The group's hunters, female lions, hunt primarily at dawn and night. Lions devour up to 20 pounds of meat in a sitting every four to five days. Lions live together in big groups called pride, unlike other large cats.
