About this puzzle
Top speed is one of those measurements that sounds simple until you try to separate sprinting from sustained running. A cheetah is the obvious headline, but the real puzzle is the tight pack behind it, where a domestic breed, a big cat, and a prairie specialist end up surprisingly close. Ranking by miles per hour means trusting the stopwatch over how fast each animal looks.
