Peregrine Falcon

Its the tenth week which means it is time for the fifth week bird special.

The Peregrine Falcon is a very special animal. These birds are the Mascot of the United States Air Force, they are the fastest animal on earth by far with special capabilities. This bird is one of the coolest animals around and is a close second to my favorite animal the white bengal tiger. 

These birds fly up to very high altitudes only to swoop down twice as fast as the fastest baseball pitch, even 3 times as fast ast the high way speed limit. These birds do an aerial dive at over 220 miles per hour. That is CRAZY! That speed creates this animal to be such a neat specimen.

Thanks to animals.nationalgeographic.com  and  lloydspitalnikphotos.com for their amazing photos of these birds!
