The Great Critter Race

 
Remember a video from a few months ago in which different species of birds raced to show us how fast they can go? Red Side has made the same type of video for terrestrial animals. They are all shown moving at their species' maximum speed, the way they only would move if their lives were in danger. That means they are all shown running comically fast, one after another, as if it's a race. It's weird to see a predator passing prey instead of eating them. The animals were produced by artificial intelligence, which hasn't quite mastered the way an elephant moves. Still, as funny as the race is, you'll learn about the relative speeds of various animals at their maximum. Meanwhile, if you ever see a critter running this fast in real life, you can be sure something scary is chasing them. The second half of the video is the same race from the animals' point of view.
