PEREGRINE FALCON - Bird Slayer and Dive master! The Fastest Animal on the Planet
PEREGRINE FALCON is the Fighter Aircraft in the Animal World. The Fastest Animal on the Planet.
The falcon family includes 60 species from the smallest pygmy falcons to the largest gyrfalcons. And they are all fast or very fast, but if we talk about speed, then the hero of today's video leaves far behind not only his relatives, but also all animals on the planet. Today we will meet a peregrine falcon, a prudent and fearless hunter who definitely deserves your attention. Let's start.
The peregrine falcon is a predatory member of the falcon family that lives in almost all corners of our planet with the exception of Antarctica. He doesn't exceed the size of a hooded crow. Body length ranges from 34 to 50 centimeters. The wingspan reaches 120 centimeters, and the weight varies from 440 grams to one and a half kilograms, and the females are much larger than the males.
Peregrine Falcons are the largest falcon over most of the continent, with long, pointed wings and a long tail. Be sure to look at shape as well as size—long primary feathers give the Peregrine a long-winged shape. As with most raptors, males are smaller than females, so Peregrines can overlap with large female Merlins or small male Gyrfalcons.
Therefore, such a difference in weight. Peregrine Falcons catch medium-sized birds in the air with swift, spectacular dives, called stoops. In cities they are masterful at catching pigeons. Elsewhere they feed especially on shorebirds and ducks. They often sit on high perches, waiting for the right opportunity to make their aerial assault.
Peregrine falcons are distinguished by their strong constitution, sickle-shaped beak, pointed wings, powerful legs and a narrow rounded tail. They also have a characteristic contrasting color - a gray-black back and a white bottom with transverse dark stripes. The bird ca n live in river valleys along the shores of lakes and in mountainous areas at an altitude of 4000 meters. The peregrine falcon is extremely unpretentious in its habitat, he can live both in the cold conditions of the arctic tundra and in the hot climate of the tropics of Africa.
