Rat vs Rabbit: Who can run faster for 100 meters?

Shivani Tiwari

 Rats are known for their sharp senses, quick reflexes, and exceptional ability to navigate through tight spaces.

Rabbits, on the other hand, are often associated with quick hops and impressive agility. 

Rats' top speeds are considerably lower than rabbits', likely in the range of 7-10 mph (11-16 km/h). 

 Rabbits can reach impressive speeds of around 25 miles per hour (approximately 40 km/h). 

Rats can maintain their top speed over short distances without tiring too quickly. 

 Rabbits can achieve impressive bursts of speed, but they may not be able to sustain their top speeds for long durations. 

Rats have small, compact bodies with long, powerful legs that provide speed and agility.

Rabbits, in contrast, have much larger and stronger legs, which provide incredible leverage and allow for explosive, high-speed sprints. 

In a 100-meter sprint, the rabbit would certainly win due to its significantly higher top speed.
