Did you ever wonder what the fastest animal in the world is? The Peregrine falcon is amazing; even after all it’s been through, it is still the fastest. This animal has many unique features, hunting skills and it was nearly extinct, until recently which shows it’s strength and determination to survive.
The Peregrine falcon has many unique features. Its speed is amazing; it can go from 0 to 60mph in 3 seconds. Its average speed is 180 to 215mph at full speed. It’s usually going at high speeds, high in the sky or flying downward. It has an amazing body structure. The Peregrine falcon ranges from 13 to 19 inches long. Its wings can expand to 6 feet. It takes the female peregrine falcon 6 months to have babies. That’s two thirds of a human pregnancy. These are the Peregrine falcons unique features.
The Pelegrine falcon has many hunting skills. It's accuracy is amazing, one kill in every three tries. It circles it's prey, then suddenly diving at high speeds, it kills the prey with it's talons. The other times, it just scopes up the prey, bring it up high and drops it. It then eats the prey or leave it for some other animal, or give it to it's baby. Their prey includes ducks, shorebirds and birds that fly in the sky. It usally attacks birds that fly high in the sky or animals on top of mountains. The Peregrine falcon's only enemy is the human,and birds (they steal eggs and eat it). However the falcon uses its high speeds to get away from danger. Some people just kill the falcon to their head as a trophy. These are the Peregrine falcons hunting skills.
The Peregrine falcon was nearly extinct until recently which shows its strength and determination to survive. One of the reasons why it was nearly extinct was that it often eat poisonous animals, so when they got pergant the eggs cracked early and the babies died. The female Peregrine falcons have to be healthty in order to have babies or something wrong will happen. Farmers and hunters stot them down, wrongly thinking that falcons kill their poultry. Other hunters just capture them and sell them as pets, and some of the people they sell it to don't understand how to take care of one. The peregrine falcon life span is 4 to 5 years, which is one fourteenth of the average human life span. Their are many organizations that help to aviod the extinction of the Peregrine falcons. They are the Raptor Center, Wildlife Services, the Peregrine Fund and many others. This is why the Peregrine falcon was nearly extinct, and now continues the on going battle to survive.
In conclusion I've explain alot about the Peregrine falcon. I've explain It's unique features,hunting skills and why it was nearly extinct. This is why Peregrine falcon is fastest animal in the world, and the most amazing to me.
