If Top speed of a giraffe (52 km/h) was a standard unit ...

  • Top speed of a Mallard duck in flight (105 km/h)...more would be 2 x Top speed of a giraffe
  • Top speed of a Komodo dragon (21 km/h)...more would be 2/5 of Top speed of a giraffe
  • Top speed of a house mouse (13 km/h)...more would be 1/4 of Top speed of a giraffe
