Average measured speed of a ghost crab on land is ~3.4m/s and they get there in less than a second. If you were to scale that up to cheetah size than they would be running around 250 mph or 400 mph in something the size of a human. Showing their impulse at nearly 100g's.

Edit: I know it's a joke, but the actual mechanics of ghost crabs is pretty incredible!

Haven't you heard that song from Loverboy?

A pig and an elephant DNA just won't splice

Edit: s/pic/pig/

As someone who has recently been discovering that a lot of foods I used to love are ones my body no longer considers acceptable, I'm kind of glad it doesn't exist, because I'm not sure I could resist.

Give it a magic feather and you'll overturn all laws of probability.
