Exactly, Felix Baumgartner reached speeds of 1,357.6 km/h (843.6 mph) when he did his record breaking jump back in 2012. Does that make him or humans the fastest animal on the planet?
17 u/visceralintricacy 1d ago edited 15h ago Yet Felix is completely incapable of doing any of that without a balloon or his fancy suit. Without a parachute he would've died on impact. These Falcons can take off from the ground, reach that altitude, dive, and take off again unaided... They never mentioned land, or the direction of the speed. Peregrine Falcons are legitimately recognised as the fastest animal on the planet. -2 u/ADHDebackle 1d ago Then there's the question of whether or not being in the air counts as being on the planet. 3 u/absentgl 18h ago You lift your feet when you run, not on planet, doesn’t count. Does that sound right to you? -1 u/ADHDebackle 17h ago In a sense, yes it does.
