Peregrine falcons are faster than bald eagles primarily due to their specialized hunting adaptations. During their characteristic hunting stoop, or dive, peregrine falcons can reach speeds over 240 miles per hour, thanks to their streamlined bodies, pointed wings, and powerful musculature. In contrast, bald eagles are built for soaring and gliding, with a maximum flight speed of around 30 to 40 miles per hour. This difference in speed is a result of their distinct hunting strategies and physical adaptations.

Are peregrine falcons faster than bald eagles?

No, bullets are fired at an amazingly high speed. It can be difficult for even high speed 1200 FPS (frames per second) camera to catch a glipse of a bullet leaving a barrel of a weapon. Bullets cannot be seen by the eye either. Peregrine falcons, even at top speed, can still be seen by the human eye and would appear to be moving in slow motion on a 1200 FPS high speed camera. They are extremely fast, but no animal is as fast as a bullet.
