"It's over three time faster than a cheetah" Well, if you throw cheetah out of a hot air balloon I'm sure the gap will be a lot smaller.
:D
a chetah cant hunt in freefall. peregrine falcons can dive on command for immpossible to dodge strikes at massive velocities.
Yea but a Peregrine Falcon dives faster than the theoretical maximum impact velocity, its such a well designed bird it can achieve flight physics we still cannot.
What the hell is a "theoretical maximum impact velocity"???
Sergei Gridnev hes probably talking about terminal velocity. The terminal velocity is the falling velocity at wich the gravitational acceleration equals the deceleration due to air resistance. So its the fastest possible free fall speed in air. It is different for every object, and the falcons terminal velocity is obviously higher than the humans.
That was pretty cool. They should dive with a penguin next
Its fat ass will slow it down by a lot
Penguin be like de-ja vu.. 😂
Hahahaah
Haha nice joke😂
🤣🤣🤣
Narrator: A human in freefall can exceed 150 miles per hour.
Lady: Is that all?
This made me laugh
Falcon says I’m just warming up
Peregrines can almost go another 100mph. Incredible.
Terminal velocity is 120 mph.
Falcon: Hold my little leather helmet.
Legend has it this trainer is still saying *W H A I T* to this day
Turn on the subtitles
that's pretty funny dude 😁👍
lol I thought he was yelling "FLIGHT!" "FLIGHT!" at the bird!!
What?
@@oggyoggy1299 The guy that was about to release the bird said he wanted to wait until he was sure it was ready to go on it’s own. I think he was yelling “wait” to the jumpers, but who knows. His accent made it sound like “wyte” or, as in A Smiths comment, “whait”. I thought at the time he was yelling at the bird!
Have no idea why the algorithm sent me here, but now I'll be seeing hundreds of bird videos recommended to me. This one was cool.
Guy removes hood.
Bird: "AAAHHHhhh!!! I'm afraid of heights!"
So i feel bad for the bird in the bdsm mask
Those actually keep the birds calm. It would be more stressed without it.
Bdm 🤣
You've been watching too much porn 😂
Raja i love BDSM
The Birds nickname is "Wanda" 😆
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Would not it be easier to use a whistle as every falconer?
I thought they were saying white white
@@aimlovesmusic1469 So did the subtitles
I scrolled down to the caption section just to see if someone posted about it
You’re calling that streamlined, fearless, controlled perfect wing shape no style?
Yeah we are gonna dive with parachute,cameras, goggles, insurance policy.
Falcon: hold my beer
"My mouse flavored beer"
😂😂
Haha 😂👍🏻
If they were really interested in fairness, they would have strapped the lure to a cheetah and dropped it out of the balloon.
nah, the cheetah would be distracted by the smell of the lure following in its slipstream and wiggle the whole way down...the correct way to do this experiment is to strap the lure to an elephant and then throw the cheetah and the falcon after it...
@@jawadad802 your comment was soo unnecessary, stupid and unfunny.
Oooor....a coconut being carried by the husk by two African swallows.
Now that’s science.
@@flclub54 sooo...a lot like yours I guess...
@@flclub54 if you dont have anything nice to say why say anything. Ur like a heckler at a bad comedy show. U dont get the joke? Thts fine, but some do and laughed. Why u gotta be so rude
So difficult to choose a most beautiful and powerful bird of prey.
But this guy is in my top three for sure.
this video is very underrated. The amount of work involved must have been a mountain. Awesome to watch that falcon in flight
No. I think they used a hot air balloon. Not a mountain.
One of the MOST BRILLIANT experiments I've ever seen. Incredible, informative, fantastical. For sheer LOVE of that magnificent FALCON.
Check out "Dubai World Record Eagle Flight" - also fascinating.
2:06 “bloody hell”
Well at least we know they’re probably British
Aimlovesmusic 14 “white= wait”
I imaged Ron Weasley saying that🤣
That was pretty weird looking at that bird in a straight down nose dive, wings fixed, looking like a dart falling out of the sky.
"well it isn't a definitive scientific experiment..." no, but you got the BBC to pay for a baloonride, a skydive jump and an afternoon of falconry... good on you Steve!
I didn’t see any black guys in the video.
@@biIIybob858 smh. It was a joke. “BBC”, c’mon man.
@@biIIybob858 lol
@@MrDumesday HAHAHAHAHA now I get the joke
2:54 - oh wow, Lady dived so fast that she managed to time travel to her youth and became juvenile
😀😀😀
Wow, that is awesome watching it dive in full control like that
.........."Bloody hell"..........
Went sky diving once outside of Cancun Mexico. Can't say I'll be doing that again!
I guess not ....must have beeN terrifying YIKES What the hell were you thinking ?
@@raintree3383 Tequila was thinking for me.
I thought the people in the thumbnail were Mongolian horse archers
But can it carry a coconut?
Drew Lang I know this comment is 5 years old but this made me laugh so hard
"What kind of coconut?"
"I don't know . . . AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
It could grip it by the husk!!!
🤣🤣
Wha- why? I don't.... Can it?
On a level field, a pigeon accelerates faster and can maneuver better than the falcon.
The only special thing the falcon does is using gravity to its advantage when hunting.
Lol, great handle.
Peregrines are also very fast in level flight and only use gravity for dives. I have actually seen them catch pigeons up from a distance in level flight and then pursue them.
That bird is amazing. Nature is mind blowing. Made me feel quite emotional.
Peregrine is amazing. Best 4 minutes of 2021 yet, even though its an old vid!
That Falcon is awesome. Falcon should show the US Congress how to move faster
The Opposite of Progress
is Congress. ➡️◀️🔄🚮
These birds are next level.
What an amazing tribute to a magnificent Creator who designed, engineered and brought into reality such an astonishing bird! All praise to God!
Amazing animal 🤩
I love how they tuck there wings and exceed terminal velocity. They just remind me of fighter jets.
Owls too is watching one of these things about them and how such a big bird can move in absolute silence
Falcon must be enjoying such height flying
For a bird that’s so light & diving at that speed it’s unbelievable.
Steve did brilliant animal series, annoying though it’s never been on TV again.
Accelerated beyond a 180 mph? Oh my, she went so fast that her velocity turned to acceleration mid dive.
My brother found a pair of nesting falcons, in the spring of 2020.
I can't wait to see them in 21.
The title leads you to think that Skydivers are "Ultimate killers"
Just looking at the height on a screen makes me nauseous and lightheaded.
beautiful bird
that little nod at the end when he says "Ultimate Killer"!!!! So cute
289,62 км/ч - и это не предел! сапсан - самое быстрое живое существо на планете Земля
There's a reason Suzuki named it's fastest motorcycle after this bird.
Very true. The other reason is that in Japan, the main prey of the falcon (Hayabusa) are Blackbirds. It was built specifically to beat the Honda Blackbird, the bigger brother to the Fireblade!
What a beautiful stunning bird..Lucky enough to have a pair nesting every year in an old quarry behind our home. Their calls are just so ancient and unmistakable.
While climbing the Longs Peak trail in Colorado one section of trail traversed across a deposit of boulders & moraine debris...we kept hearing what sounded like arrows or bullets whizzing by over our heads...I stood watching to see what was making the noises and a Falcon whizzed by flying down the slope...we guessed 150 to 200 mph but didnt know exactly... Then they would fly up the mountain's chasm & out over the deposit slope... & do it again!! Must have been young Falcons playing😆 (I kinda kept my head down a little until we got off the deposit😒) We talked about returning someday with a radar gun to clock them but never did...
STUNNING, STUNNING AND AMAZING!!!!
Birds of prey are just amazing birds! Especially falcons
0:50 That's a long way down. Scary, got sweaty hands just my looking at it.
In case anyone is wondering, the music there was Underworld - Shudder/King of Snake.
Steve Leonard is one of my favourite hosts. I would gladly watch more vids of him BBC!
More on the way!
woot
TH-cam at 2:00 am: Hey check this out.
Me at 2:05 am: Wake up honey, check out this skydiving bird!
Wow the falcon was up to speed to a F1 car . Amazing .
At the end when he said the peregrine falcon was his ultimate killer... her picking out his eyeball would’ve been top notch
"I liked that! I liked that a lot" after someone rode on his back
The first time not on the ground, is what he meant. IDK....
Actually "Ladi" (The Falcon) was the Only one that was not in any Danger!
This is the coolest thing I've seen in 2020.
That must have been a lot of fun for the falcon - a very different way of hunting for the lure than usual!
I thought it was a skydiver hitting a falcon. I wonder how many skydivers have been killed by hitting birds and getting knocked out in the air.
I've never heard any reports of it happening. Skydivers aim to have the canopy opened by 2500-3000 feet so that probably rules out many species of birds, I'm not sure what birds fly above that height.
@@this_is_a_tiny_town none... because why would they? theres nothing there for them lol
A few years ago I saw a load of crows harassing what I think was a kestrel 🤔 and the kestrel took them up and up and up until all of a sudden it just dropped like a stone and was gone in a high speed dive leaving the crows squabbling amongst themselves 🤣🤣🤣
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thy shalt be save and thy house
Do this again with a Skydiver in the head down position
243mph is the highest recorded dive of a falcon.
Nutty.
I believe that is the name they Japanese put to the Hayabusa that supposedly translated to Falcons or something
I doubt she could outrun a Cheetah on foot somehow.
But such a stunning and beautiful bird, and so graceful and agile in the air.
I lost faith in this when he said ok,let’s turn to our left & clearly they were turning to their right.No thanks
Plus the thick diagonal ropes coming from the balloon disappear when they dive, what were they for, and what were they attached to?
Perfekte Kommunikation zwischen Mensch und Tier. Super Idee! Danke für die Unterhaltung.
Terminal velocity is 120 so how did they do 158?
Thank you.
I know birds have excellent eye sight, but thru all that distance, seeing the bird got the thing and was down on the ground soo quickly and having its well deserved snack that was amazing. What a super flyer that bird!😲👍🤣🦅♥️
Dont want to be a downer, but where in the video did we see that the Falcon got close to the two?
Around 2:20... You can see that everyone jumped at the same time. to get that footage, it had to have come from the guy's body cam.
I agree... that was cool, but I didn’t see the falcon catch them?? He said it did in seconds, but I didn’t see any evidence of it in the video. I think the video of the falcon was from a different sky diver.
ME EITHER. I CAME TO COMMENT SECTION TO SEE IF ANYONE COULDN'T SEE IT EITHER. AND I FOUND THIS.
Whoah never would have expected a falcon would fly !!!
Gorgeous.
She's awesome
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheds loads of speed
How many sheds do I need to store all the speed lol? I have no idea how big even one speed is.
I don't know how I got to this video. I am sure glad my beer guided me here. Cheers.
Try the same with Tom cruise in mission imp ...then let's se who's faster.....😂🤣...also the Falco had pretty bad ass helmet .....😝😝
Neat video. Fun. Lady is THE OG of fast flying. We base our wing designs on her, particularly the military winged aircraft with wings that sweep back for speed.
Comparing objects based on speed isn't really fair, otherwise the fastest wheeled vehicle is in the 1200km/h+ range, and the fastest "aircraft"(with human inside) is in the 30,000km/h+ range....then you go to the next step of power, and humans win outright.
In terms of power:weight and complexity, the bird will win for a very long time to come.
The engine on a vehicle would explode if it were to power its self all the way down.
It would most likely burnout.
wolfy9005 Objects??
Or a moth by the name Mothera or Rodan
Narrater: so a freefall human can achieve 150 mph.
Falcon: thats all you got george.
I knew a lady that had no style and shitloads of speed. Back in the day....
Such a gorgeous bird.
if your having a race in the sky, why go in the stable position? it would be much faster to go head down, and they even have a pilot chute deployed that would slow them down even more! they weren't even trying!
I was pretty disappointed with this. Would have liked to have seen a professional skydiver on his own.
***** Science on a science channel = opposite of buzzkill.
@Bliss** the reef. That's not a pilot chute, that's called a drogue chute.
If I shit my pants behind me while faling, do I accelerated even more?
Incredible bird mate!!
A real life Lamborghini but on air
They played music by Underworld! So cool!
I was trying to place it, sounds like chemical brothers & a Faithless track all rolled together 👍🏼
Beautiful testimony to God’s creation.
Falcon lover must watch this
Jesus loves you so much ❤️ I was addicted to porn, I was on drugs, alcohol, I hated people, he set me free and he can set you free aswell ❤️ all you have to do is repent and trust in him and he will change your life!❤️
Peregrine falcons dive from the Skyscrapers top heights in New York to hunt unsuspecting pigeons down below.

فيديو ممتع ومفيد ، فعلا الطيور الجارحة وقت الانقضاض تكون سرعتها عالية جدا لكن لم اتوقع ان تكون بهذه السرعة.
شكرا جزيلا لكم 🌹
These kind of stunts get on my nerves, leave our wildlife alone.
In case you didn't notice, the falcon is happy and healthy else it wouldn't return.
ErgoCogita you wanna use that logic on battered house wives too?
Now is godd for me
Considering falcons are wild animals and housewives are not, I would say that your suggestion is utterly ridiculous.
Try again...
i can't see why, its a trained animal, plus it wasn't even harmed
ErgoCogita Housewives have the choice, the falcon doesn't.
Guys its because peregrine falcons can do the 200 mph dive anytime they wanted to (like without any human interference or advance technology, only pure evolution). A fighter plane or jet, I forgot what kind of aircraft it was, is designed based on the peregrine falcon.
If you watch really carefully as the bird's hood is removed, you can actually see what the bird is thinking... "What the F am I doing all the way up here? "
Skydiving is a lot more than knowing what to pull and when to pull it, every movement does something and it’s a long process to learn how to be stable in free fall without spinning out of control. Most people think it’s as simple as falling but as a skydiver I can say that’s far from the truth, everything from being stable in free fall to learning how to use the parachute correctly takes lots of training and plenty of hours nothing you could learn in a single day, to be licensed to skydive you’ve got to have 25 jumps and go through an extensive training program that takes usually months of training.
Gravity and nature(falcon speed) does all the magic.
I thought she had lots of style in her dive. Amazing animal.
Finally! A scientific experiment that shows how Keanu Reeves caught up to Patrick Swayze in that daring scene from point break!
Thanks for reminding me of that film...I'm going to watch it now 😂👍
Beautiful !!
Skydiving with a peregrine falcon. GOALS.
Underworld Shudder/King Of Snake.... + an awesome video!
without any doubt he peregrine falcon is sooo badass, yo.
This is very difficult task but they have performed very well
Peregrine Falcons have been, in other experiments, clocked at around 220mph. They're absolutely incredible! Coincidence: I graduated from Bowling Green State University and the mascot of that university is the Peregrine Falcon; the Bowling Green Falcons!
I wonder if the falcon looked down from the balloon and thought 'What the hell am I doing way up here!?'
