Wild animals

You can endlessly admire wild cats, but guessing which is faster—a cheetah or a leopard—is difficult. Both animals are excellent runners, but there's a clear winner.

Both the tortoise and the snail have earned the reputation of being the slowest animals. But sometimes the question arises: which is actually faster—the tortoise or the snail? It turns out that the speed of these animals has long been measured, and an absolute record holder for slowness has been identified.

Predatory animals are considered among the most powerful. This is especially true for the feline family—lions, tigers, cheetahs, and other members—all of which are considered paragons of agility and endurance. It's no wonder that many children (and even adults) are interested in who is stronger—a lion or a tiger, since both predators lead similar lifestyles and have similar builds.

Classical zoology classifies up to 5,500 modern mammal species. They all differ significantly in size, areola, structure, and external features. One of the most distinctive animals of this class is the warlike predator known as the Tasmanian devil.

It is the only representative of its genus, but scientists have noted its significant similarity to quolls and, most distantly, to the extinct marsupial wolf, the thylacine.
