Correction for the speed of a Gazelle

Thanks for your input! Let us know more about what's wrong in the form below.
How fast is 0.000000140 times the speed of light?
It's about two times as fast as a Gazelle
The speed of a Gazelle is about 0.0000000700 times the speed of light.
(for Thomson's Gazelle, a.k.a. Eudorcas thomsoni, a.k.a. "Tommie", a.k.a. "Tommy")
A Thomson's gazelle can reach speeds of up to 0.0000000700 times the speed of light. The gazelle's speed doesn't match that of its chief predator, the cheetah, but a gazelle's endurance usually ensures an escape in distances greater than 500 m (0.3 mi).
