The media guy David is doing a great job too!

I would bring my GSD along if they want one for the race.

Very entertaining. Tickled me when you can hear Joe & Yeboah still debating the German Shepherd conundrum in the back ground.

Really funny clip that.  The players faces are great when they suddenly realise that most of the animals they mention are very quick.

How many can run non stop to the halfway line on here ??
I'll start with I'll beat a hedgehog anyone beat that ?, might  change it to my twin the sloth.

Well I could easily run non stop to halfway but no way could I beat an elephant, rhino, giraffe, German shepherd or a cat.
I reckon a hedgehog is beatable though.
Over fifty yards I should be able to beat a snake.

I could beat all the standard English farm yard animals in a race. Add goats to that too. No chance against any big game animals

I’d particularly like to race a chicken, then a fastest omelette making situation, obviously with other runners at the end of the race, not the chicken….

Having once being chased out of a field by a cow I would be surprised if any average human can outrun them.

Could we recreate the famous push ball challenge? Get a load of farm animals down and rope in a load of fans. That’d be a good watch.

I had to out run a German Shepherd dog every Thursday/Friday; Advertiser and Courier, as a kid. In the last couple of years I delivered them together to that property, to negate the risk by 50%, a big no no contractually but by that time both had deteriorated to the state of not being worth reading anyway.

That’s a funny story mate but there is no way that even Usain Bolt could beat my GSD in a straight fifty yard race.

Agree with this. I've had 3 German Shepherds, one of them chased a chav on a motorbike on Broddy pit. Absolutely gobsmacked and impressed by the sheer pace of that dog.

My Rottweiler is no slouch either, no way ard you outrunning these kind of dogs.

My current one is my fourth, over 40 odd years.  Fantastic dogs.

I’ve no doubt that if I ran in a straight line it would’ve caught me but it turned like the QE2, so had to run away in a zigazaga!

I could definitely outrun a man eating tiger. He'd be too busy eating his dinner to stand up and sprint. Not sure about his choice of Sunday roast though.

Some snakes are bloody quick Hound. Your o ky chance of outrunning a mamba for example is if there's a hill in your back garden. Kraits are fast too. And both are chuffing deadly

I was going to post that too. I remember some interviewer talking to an old gnarled bloke in the swamps somewhere in Australia , and what to do if a "Salty" or salt water Crocodile were to charge them right then

The old guy said " mate , you just have to make sure you outrun it or you are dead " and the Interviewer said " well I get that but with respect surely all I have to do is outrun YOU"

And I did think yes and you can leg him up as you run alongside him

Although not an animal, think the fastest I’ve had to run away from something was a swarm of wasps! Only got stung the 3 times and one of them was right next to my ballsack!

Who was it who said they could out run a chimp if it wasn't allowed to use its arms? Comedy genius right there.

Can just imagine who has to explain to the chimp that he's in a race, and then explain his handicap to him.

Always visualised you as like Huckleberry Hound, gonna have to try and update that.

Sheep are timed at around 20mph, elephants can reach 25, roadrunner 27.

Usain Bolt has been clocked at around 27mph.
Healthy GSDs can regularly hit speeds of 30 to 35mph.
