For land animals it is...no, not Cheetahs.

It's a little mite that can run the equivalent of 1,300 miles per hour
That would be great if speed were scalable. This is like folks saying scale model airplanes can do 2k mph. Nope, they go just as fast as if they were full sized. Is a Mini faster than a Suburban when going both are going exactly 60 mph?

Cheetah, faster than any insect.
