Normal cruising speed is about 30-40 miles per hour.  However, if they're being chased by a hawk, they get easily get up to the 65-70 mph range for a while.  With a wind behind them, pigeons have also been clocked over the distance (hundreds of miles) at over 50 mph and in rare instances up to 80 mph.\n\nThere are many people who enjoy racing pigeons and speeds are well documented since they birds are clocked over the distance and have been for many, many years.\n\nPigeons are some of the fastest flyers around - in level flight - and only some of the shorebirds can equal them.

A tortoise can live for 170 years, one recently was found with an old ball musket round embeded in it.  The average lifespan for Females is around 80 years and males about 74.  It is difficult to give any degree of precision because of so many external factors that influence this number.  However, on a small scale there are bacteria that can live many thousands of years while frozen.

It's because people are thinking real fast that make it appear that turtles are thinking slow.  Maybe if people thought at the same rate turtles do, people would live for 150 years.

As much as I hate to belie the replies of fellow answerers, I have to point out that the only cat to break 60 mph is the cheetah.  Of the tiger subspecies, the siberian tiger is the fastest as it often has to chase down prey over considerable stretches of open spaces.  It can reach an impressive 50 mph for short spurts.  The link below has some great information on the siberian tiger, the largest and most powerful cat on the planet.

around 1/6th that of earth so around 1.64m/s

Seems like the average speed is 90 MPH.

There's no spec on this, since it depends on the weight and number of riders (up to 3). Reportedly online, some have said upwards of 50 mph.

It takes about 1/4 mile for a really fast horse to hit maximum speed...\nSome pretty incredible speeds have been attributed to gaited horses, crediting them with hitting 40 and even 50 miles per hour (m.p.h.), Let's consider some verifiable records.\nMarch 5, 1989. Racing on a dirt track at Santa Anita racetrack in California, a Thoroughbred named Ruhlmann, age four, carrying a jockey and saddle weight of 118 pounds, ran one mile in one minute, 33.4 seconds (1:33.4 minutes)That represents an average speed, from a standing start, of 38.54 m.p.h.\nMarch 1, 1997. Racing on a faster grass track at Santa Anita, a Thoroughbred named Atticus, age five, carrying 117 pounds, ran one mile in 1:31.8 minutes, averaging an even faster speed of 39.21 m.p.h...Sprinting Speeds\n\nLet's now consider the American Quarter Horse, specifically the sprinting race horse. After generations of being bred to sprint, a good one can chew up 350 yards of track in about 17.72 seconds. [Reference 2] That's a sprinting speed of 40.40 m.p.h. Some have been clocked at 45 m.p.h. Now that's a "burst of speed" from an equine athlete bred to do one thing really well... sprint!....\nSpeed in Trot and Pace\nLet's move on to gaits that have similar (though slower than a gallop) locomotion to our own gaited horses. Keep in mind that a trotter (two-beat, diagonal gait) and a pacer (two-beat, lateral gait) have only two beats to concentrate on. A gaited horse (four distinct hoof beats somewhere between a dead trot and a dead pace) has twice as much to regulate. That's why it is harder for a gaited horse to accurately maintain the gaits required by their breed standard.\n\nLet's look at an interesting trotting fact. The Standardbred harness racing stallion, Pineship, at four years old, trotting an average speed of 32.43 m.p.h., set a new world record of 1:51.00. His time reads T4T 1:51:00M.\n\nHere is another juicy little tidbit, this time from a harness pacer. Cambest, a five-year-old Standardbred stallion blistered the track at an average speed of 33.89 m.p.h., setting a new world pace record. His time reads P5T1:46.1/5M.

yes, check out the bugatti veyron (world's fastest car- does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds) and the dodge tomahawk (bike that has a dodge viper engine). I don't know if they can go that fast, but pretty close for land vehicles.

The Earth moves at an average speed of 107,218 kilometers/hour (66,625.2652 miles/hour) around the sun.  Additionally the Earth spins on its axis at about 165 mph.

roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour.\n;o)

On land, slower than a tortoise but faster than a rabbit.  In the sea, faster than you and me.

About 1000 feet per sec.

Turtles are slow because they don't have to go fast! Most turtles are herbivores, which means they eat plants. Plants don't run, so they're fairly easy to eat. Also, turtles have thick shells to protect them from predators. If you've ever picked up a turtle, you've seen how they can tuck in their heads and feet. Physically, turtles are slow because they have a pretty slow metabolism, which means their bodies process energy slowly. But animals with slow metabolisms often have longer lives -- some turtles live for more than one hundred years! Slow and steady wins the race.

fastest-moving bird: diving peregrine falcon at 188 km/h (117 mph) \n\nfastest flapping flight. white-throated needle-tailed swift at 170 km/h (106 mph)\n\nfastest level-flight. red-breasted merganser (duck) at 161 km/h (100 mph)\n\nOR\n\nThe fastest FLYING bird is the Spine-tailed Swift, an Asian bird that has been recorded as being able to fly at 106 mph. HOWEVER, the Peregrine falcon can DIVE much faster. It's reported diving after their prey at speeds of over 200 miles an hour.

It depends upon the snake. They usually can move at about 20 mph when frightened.
