Peregrine falcons are not necessarily better fliers, but definitely better divers. Their streamlined bodies and small wings make for a very aerodynamic figure which helps them to get very strongly into their dive. The small surface area of their wings helps them to not lose control during a high-speed dive. Peregrine falcons are the fastest animal on earth, with dives reaching speeds of up to 200 mph.

What can a peregrine falcon do?

They then fly back to their nests (prefebley found in cliffs or high hills) and then feed it to their chicks.
