Up to 4 kids. Each kid's speed is an estimate based on age. The first kid is the one who races each animal and can become a superhero or an elephant.
Top speeds in miles per hour, rounded. Two thin lines mark a car driving in town (25 mph) and on the highway (65 mph). Bars for anything faster than 70 mph are cut short.

Many top speeds are commonly cited figures rather than careful measurements, and animals and people vary a lot. The measured ones say so in the table. Sources: falcon dive, gentoo penguin, cheetah, elephant gait study, red kangaroo, adult sprint speeds, how kids' sprint speed grows with age.
