Faster Than A Hyena?
"It may come as a surprise to hear that humans excel in running.
Obviously, a leopard can leave us in the dust in a short sprint. But
over longer distances leopards and most other mammals flag. "Most
mammals can't sustain a gallop over 10 to 15 minutes," says Lieberman.
Humans, on the other hand, can continue running for hours while using
relatively little energy. "Humans are phenomenal endurance runners,
in terms of speed, cost, and distance," says Lieberman. You can
actually outrun a pony easily." And yet, he points out, "no other
primates out there endurance run."

Faster than a whale?
Right whales .. reaching only 5 knots (9 km/h) at top speed...
How many km per hour can a human swim?
In: Swimming @ Yahoo Answers
... one can swim at about 10 km/h, with the human record
probably somewhere around 14 to 15 km/h.
I wonder what is the top speed of a manatee or beaver.
