Was the large fish that swallowed Jonah a speed demon?

The great fish circumnavigated the entire continent of Africa in three days and nights -- from the Mediterranean Sea, to the Atlantic Ocean, down the west African Coast, around the Cape of Good Hope, up the east African Coast, and into the Persian Gulf, finally ending up near Nineveh.

That's one freaking fast fish, wouldn't you say?

Hmm, that's about 20,000 miles in 72 hours -- about 280 miles per hour.

What kind of a fish swam so quickly?
I don't personally take the story as being concretely literal. But for those of you who think it is totally literal, I'd like to know what kind of fish God used.
Chicago Mike, how do the words of Christ indicate he understood the story to be totally literal?

But in any case, one does have to deal with those details, right? So tell me about this fish that swam 280 mph.
So far, only Glow is fully addressing my question.
 
Sailfish can swim 110kph 68mph...

Maybe it was an extinct species of dinosaur, but it would also have to be very big to fit him in.
A more likely explanation is that the Continents were smaller and the earth has expanded.
