You probably imagine horses bounding across a landscape, not something scaly and low to the ground. However, according to a 2019 study published in Nature, crocodiles have the "full range of quadrupedal footfall patterns used by mammals," which means they can gallop like a horse—and occasionally do! Of course, they aren't as graceful, but they can reach speeds of up to 11 miles per hour.
