True dat. Wildebeest, gazelles and lions are all faster, but not by a whole lot. The ostrich is the fastest bird on land, however (40-45 mph).

Amazing insight thacabbage -- in fact though my posting accent is a bit closer to the narrator from the The Gods Must be Crazy, but you're not far off at all. Excellent mention Professor B-Bob. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/66pTPWg_wUw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/66pTPWg_wUw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
FIRST VIDEO: the guys "arranged" for the ostrich to be chased by the cheetah. Big mistake. OWNED at the end... SECOND VIDEO: should have been named Gazelle PWNs Cheetah and Hyena. The "I Hate Nature" is hilarious. Imagine Attenborough hosting SNL.
I thought the second was better, as well. But I did not want to give you guys the true reality of how bad nature really is all at once.
The guys that did the "I Hate Nature" vids seem to be the same ones that did the "Akon Calls T-Pain video" : http://www.oldeenglish.org/podcast/akon-calls-t-pain
