The peregrine falcon is faster than a cheetah. In a dive, the falcon can reach speeds of over 240 miles per hour (386 km/h), making it the fastest animal on the planet. In contrast, the cheetah is the fastest land animal, capable of running at speeds up to 60-70 miles per hour (97-113 km/h) for short bursts. Thus, while both are incredibly fast, the falcon holds the speed record.
