The Saharan silver ants are the fastest ants in the world, they can go up to 100 bps (human sized thatâs over 330 mph!) So ants are pretty fast. But here is a much faster little critter; the Paratarsotomus macropalpis (a small mite) can run a whopping 322 bps. As a human if we could run that it would be 1,300 mph!! Be glad we are big and they are not!

Scaled up to human size, this is roughly equal to running 30 miles per hour. However, a number of species surpass these speeds; some can rightly claim to be among the fastest animals on the planet, relative to body size.
