I love the peregrine falcon but I think (personal opinion) you shouldn’t compare the peregrine falcon with the cheetah because cheetahs can go 80 mph (max speed) which is around 130 km/h and gravity is definitely not on their side while a peregrine falcon can’t go 240 mph or 380 km/h while flying normally but when their diving they can and obviously gravity is on their side. I think now you know what I’m trying to say… aaaaaaaaanyways love the channel keep it up 😄
instead of flying fast . . they fall like bombs . . . so it's quite differend to sprinters and swimmers . . . because this is just gravity all the acceleration
Thought same when I was in 5th grade. Saw A mom and baby deer as I woke up. They where very clo see to me,but A big window covered as a wall. As also seeing a vulture. Huge wing span. 7 feet long.
i even have them flying around my lake and it went on the roof of the resort and ate something, i used my binoculars and they are eurasian ones, in some country or state, there are different peregrine falcons
I had a chance to see one in action here in Chicago about ten years ago. It swooped down on a peigon and snatched it and took it to the top of a building. Moments later you could see the feathers of the peigon being plucked. Fascinating.
Old names. Kestrel was called sparrow hawk, peregrine was called a duck hawk, merlin was called a pigeon hawk. I have a 1947 edition of Roger Tory Peterson's field guide that uses these old names.
@@Timmysyt i referred to OP's comment, because every Bugatti base model was known to have at least 400 kph, which is faster than the bird in the video, but funny thing is that Bugatti made a more track focussed model that has the same top speed as the bird and so i felt i have to mention that
We had a few pairs of Peregrines nesting up on a few of the taller buildings in downtown Kalamazoo. Pigeons would often alight upon a window ledge just outside one of our office windows. If you were really lucky, you would get to see one of the Peregrines in action. During nesting season was the best time to see them do what they do. They are truly fascinating to watch, especially when the pigeon would leap into the air, from the ledge, in a last ditch attempt to avoid being eaten. Watching those Peregrines snatch a pigeon on the wing or "punch it", from out of nowhere, then circle back and grab the dead pigeon, before it hit the ground, gave me a new appreciation for these birds.
This birds ancestors probably thought humans have guns shoot projectors that kill anything it punches . So they said, "If you don't have bullets, be the bullet."
"Birds are not descendants of dinosaurs. They are dinosaurs Which means the fastest animal alive is a small carnivorous dinosaur known as falco peregrinus. It mainly preys on other dinosaurs, which it strikes midair. This is a good world"
Oh my gosh, you're so lucky! I've only seen Peregrines high up on the church near to where I live (UK). I've been watching a few on a live cam and I love them dearly. Best bird ever!
Story: Admitted delivery at an old and ancient warehouse area in Chicago, it was raining, dark and dirty from the sun being blocked out by the menacing clouds. As I looked out the warehouse doors, I was looking at the telephone lines crowded and weighed heavily down with hundreds of pigeons all huddling together miserable in the freezing rain. I ask myself, “what could be worse?” As I spoke I could see my breath in the cold wet air. Just then, I caught a glimpse of a arrow falling at great speed from the air as if it had been propelled by an English long bowman of old. Feathers exploded everywhere, and a bird drop to the ground. The arrow that hit it was a falcon it took back to the air but not flying at high at all just enough to follow its prey to the ground. The other Pigeons rustling their feathers closed in where their friend had been, returning to their miserable state.
At the speeds they can reach, one of the these birds crashing into your skull would almost certainly cause death or at least severe cranial damage. I know they’re quite capable of taking down prey that’s significantly larger than themselves. Luckily I don’t think humans are typically on their menu.
Wow. This bird is absolutely stunningly gorgeous and beautiful. Form meeting function in perfection. Sorry cheetah, you’ve been ousted by the peregrine falcon as the fastest creature on Earth.
And if u look at it... they're kind of the only animals around today with sabre-teeth, but just a beak version. Probably one of the most unequivocally coolest things on the planet
We had a nesting pair in the yard. The twins moved out of the nest and lived in the tree , days before flying. On flight day the mom brought an injured dove and set it under a tree about 125 feet away, where it hopped arround. Both parents came near the twins tree to cajole and insult them until one after another they flew to brunch. I thought it was too much at once, because of how other birds teach flying. But it worked. Well. They weren't great at hunting for the first few days, and one got embarrased when he shot too hard at a target on a fence top. He ended upside-down, looking at me through the fence. They both survived and grew stong.
@@nigelnazeemjohannes85 , wish I could have. It was not something I was willing to set up for, at the time. I no longer even live in that state. It was a very special story to observe at the time.. I think they moved in because i fed the birds. Seed ended up in the grass, so I had squirls and bunnies/rabbits snacking there also. My yard was first against the wild, so mice must have been there, an occasional rattlesnake, and kingsnakes. The falcons probably thought it was a grocery.
This is my favorite bird. I love these intelligent, fascinating beings. I don't know why but I really LOVE several raptors species. Owls, Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, even Vultures(not sure a Vulture is a raptor). I don't know why, as I am not a vicious person. Maybe because they live so honestly and are so very smart. I value honesty the most of any moral value, even when it's not flattering. Just me I guess. A Colorado Mountain Grandma USA 💜

In my opinion he doesnt deserve the title fastest animal in the world Thats kind of like saying you have a fast car, because its falling off a cliff Literally But its still impressive that they can do it, dont get me wrong
Yes quite right But since not many other birds or animals are designed in such a way, they are the only one's who then can use this technique. All animals are known & also humans have all their own special unique character & skills :) ...doesnt make anyone less or better, just different, and different is good :)
Your point makes sense, but thats the birds way of mobility. Sailfish are also considered to be faster than Cheetahs. Though the sailfish has water behind it that it can push its self off of constantly, so should that make it disown that title too? A cheetah is the fastest land animal though, which gives it number #1 on land but if we throw all the different types of animals together from different sectors of the biosphere, technically we have to give it to the Peregrine Falcon for fastest animal. 👍
I once saw one pursuing a grown-ass Canada goose. Its frantic honking as it tried to shake the falcon was something to hear! It ultimately escaped by coming in for a landing on the nearby river.
I have a pair of falcons in my urban neighborhood. I often see one if them on the power lines in the morning or evening as they watch for tasty Eurasian collared doves to leave or come back to the trees on my street where they roost for the night.

This bird can knock out a ground man
At the speeds they can reach, one of the these birds crashing into your skull would almost certainly cause death or at least severe cranial damage. I know they’re quite capable of taking down prey that’s significantly larger than themselves. Luckily I don’t think humans are typically on their menu.

The cheetah is only the fastest land animal, not the fastest of all animals
Sorry again cheetah. The black marlin is also faster than you, reaching up to 80 mph. The peregrine falcon is the sultan of speed on the planet.
