The peregrine falcon. Master at snatching other birds in flight... I love birds

The peregrine is most famous for being the fastest animal on earth.
Its been clocked at doing 390km/h (242mp/h) but experts think it can go even faster.

To achieve this speed it first climbs up high in the sky... It's extraordinary vision allows it to spot prey from a mile away

Then it tucks its wings right back to to go into a full stoop.
Its streamline shape reduces drag and cuts through the air with maximum efficiency.
Just check out the awesome streamline profile it takes...

And BANG... Its sharp talons hit the bird at high speed, killing it instantly...
