Week 14 - Thompson's Gazelle

Did you know ...top 10 fastest mammals

1. Cheetah 71 mph
2. Pronghorn Antelope 57 mph
=3. Blue Wildebeest (Brindled Gnu) 50 mph
=3. Springbok 50 mph
=3 Lion 50 mph
=6. Brown Hare 48 mph
=6. Red Fox 48 mph
=8. Grant's Gazelle 47 mph
=8. Thomson's Gazelle 47 mph
10. Horse 45 mph


WOW - I mean we all knew the Cheetah would be first, but what odds that a Pronghorn Antelope and a Brindled Gnu would be runners up? I mean, is a Red Fox really slower than the Brown Hare? I think not, otherwise we would be swamped with hare as the woofing fox would never never catch any.... and how do they know that a Grants Gazelle is exactly the same speed as a Thompson's Gazelle. How? hey .and ....my...Loins are woofing faaaaaaaa-rrrrssst. Remind me not to bark at any on my walks,,, do they live in London? Hyde Park? Wimbledon?.....Bromley?
