Now do you mean overall or relative to its body length?
Also you said ON the earth and technically a peregrine falcon isn't touching the ground so that's incorrect.
Also animals in space don't count either as they're not ON the earth otherwise any one of those would be the fastest in a low earth orbit of around 17,000mph  |

But a massless animal in space could travel at 186,000 miles per second, the speed of light . Even faster again.. |

Of course and once you come up with a propulsion system to get them to that speed then we will have the definitive answer, in the meantime, let's stick to what is actually achievable shall we Sheldon Cooper  |

Antimatter propulsion is only a few million years away or if we could access an Einstein Rosen bridge we could possibly achieve this speed. |

And the question was “on the planet” |
