What Animal Speed Means

This game uses maximum recorded or compiled burst speed for animals, measured in kilometers per hour.

  • The value may describe running, flying, or swimming depending on the species.
  • A top speed is a short-burst figure, not a cruising pace or migration speed.
  • Animal photos come from the curated EOL image manifest; speed values are matched by scientific name from Hirt et al. first, then widened with clearly labeled supplemental reference rows for animals missing from that database.

The source context for each round keeps the data lane visible: primary scientific database or supplemental reference.
