Coyotes can easily reach 48 km/h (30 mph), and can sprint at 65 km/h (40 mph) when hunting. [99] Even without a front foot, a coyote can still run at around 32 km/h (20 mph). [98] Big brown bat (flight) 56–64 km/h (35–40 mph) Big brown bats are reported to be one of the fastest bats reaching speeds of up to 40 mph. [101] Common dolphin
This can be explained partly by the finding that moment arms of muscles at the knee and ankle joint in the cheetah are proportionally larger than those of the greyhound. [4] A similar comparison can be made between two similar species of lizards. It was found that geckoes more adapted for climbing have greater hip and shoulder retractor moment ...
