Peregrine falcons are the fastest animals on the planet, capable of diving at speeds over 380 km/h.
Peregrine falcons have excellent vision, allowing them to spot prey from over 3 kilometers away.
They primarily hunt other birds, using their speed and agility to catch them mid-air.
Peregrine falcons have a specialized keel on their chest that helps them reduce drag during high-speed dives.
These falcons are found on every continent except Antarctica, and they often nest on tall man-made structures like skyscrapers.
Peregrine falcons have been successfully reintroduced to many areas after their population declined due to pesticide use.
