The peregrine falcon is a bird of prey from the falcon family that lives on all continents of the planet. The bird is small and its size is no larger than that of an ordinary crow. But this does not prevent the Peregrine Falcon from being a real "punishment of heaven" and the fastest bird in nature. Moreover, this falcon is the fastest representative of the animal kingdom in general.
The peregrine falcon during a dive can reach 389 km/h! During the hunt, the peregrine falcon at such a speed knocks down prey in the air and immediately catches it. The blow can be so strong that the victim's head can fly off or the torso can be torn along its entire length.
