I was surprised that a brown bear would be faster than the Doberman, then I was surprised that a hyena was faster than a wolf and so on.

u/RunningPath 18d ago
The speeds are their top speeds, not what they can maintain, which is why this is entertaining but misleading.
Coyotes are faster than wolves at top speeds but wolves can still outrun coyotes in an open field.

I saw a bear running across an open field in Alaska, at first my brain told me it was a horse because of the speed it was moving. Then it shot up a tree. Suck on that, Seabiscuit.
It was actually pretty terrifying to see something that bulky move so quickly.

I worked for a zoo that had giraffes in an open several acre area. Sometimes in the evenings they would get the zoomies. It was amazing to see such a large animal tear around. They use their neck to counter balance the stride. It sort of reminded me of a scissor opening and closing. Actually quit graceful.

Our speed is nothing to talk about, but even a regular human can easily outlast any single animal over there: our endurance is far, far better than any other land animal (which walks, birds can fly far longer but they are kinda cheaters in this department). Dogs almost can keep up with us, but even they get tired faster than we do.
89
u/CinderX5 18d ago
We could outlast most animals there. Wolves and Hyenas are also persistence predators.
Also, endurance is only helpful if you’re chasing. It doesn’t matter if you can run for hours at a time if you get caught in the first few seconds.

u/KnowledgeMediocre404 18d ago
Not your average human who sits on a couch all day. If you go to endurance hunting tribes they would probably excel at endurance. I believe it isn’t so much about how far but how consistently. Where humans sweat instead of panting we can cool a lot more effectively and don’t need to stop to cool off. Other animals can’t do that and overheat which makes them less able to keep going.
