Who would win a race a dolphin or a narwhal?

Answer 1

This is likely a trick question, if they are racing on land, the cheetah will win, and if they are racing in water then the dolphin will win. If this is not a trick question, and you are comparing the linear speed of the average dolphin and cheetah, then the cheetah would likely win in a short race (50m or less), while the dolphin would take the lead after the cheetah stops running at full speed.

Answer 2

The opinions of nature enthusiasts notwithstanding, the Ferrari would win. For that matter, so would your station wagon.

The only time a cheetah - or other animal - has "outperformed" a machine of man's is when we deliberately construct the conditions in such a way as to all but guarantee it.

Thus you see staged "races" in which it's only what gets the furthest in the first two seconds or some such silliness so as to fill a half hour on TV.

Answer 3

A race over what terrain, and how long? Cheetahs are faster, but they run out of stamina quickly and have to traverse land. Eagles can fly longer but are subject to winds

Answer 4

Dolphins are a medium size fish and can go up to 5- 12 miles per hour, but a narwhal can go to 2.7 miles per hour. Therefore a dolphin would win the race.
