That's in a stoop, by the way (like a dive). The fastest horizontal flight is 170km/h by a spine-tailed swift.

Japanese spider crabIt's living fossil like Horseshoe Crab ,,The Japanese spider crab, Macrocheira kaempferi, is a species of marine crab that lives in the waters around Japan. It has the largest leg span of any arthropod, reaching up to 3.8 metres (12 ft 6 in) and weighing up to 41 pounds (19 kg). It is the subject of small-scale fishery." HatteriaNext living fossil. It looks like lizard, but it is lepidosauria (Sphenodontia) with ,,parietal eye". ,,A parietal eye, also known as a parietal organ or third-eye or (often but less correctly) pineal eye, is a part of the epithalamus present in some animal species. The eye may be photoreceptive and is usually associated with the pineal gland, regulating circadian rhythmicity and hormone production for thermoregulation."

The third eye of the tuatara isn't actually an eye, or rather, it isn't a functioning eye... However, paleontologists reckon the tuatara's ancient relatives actually did have three fully functioning eyes. Some newts and frogs have third eyes before they're fully developed... Though actually they're more like lenses...
We've been through these before, Matt and I. While tuataras and spider crabs are cool, they don't really add much to the game...
