Peregrine falcon is the fastest bird in the world

With a unique flight method and a very high speed, the peregrine falcon is considered the fastest creature on earth, as it can reach a speed of about 400 kilometers per hour at the ruins of its prey.

Not only is the speed of the peregrine falcon what distinguishes it, the peregrine falcon has a unique anatomical design that has impressed and puzzled scientists at the same time..

Among the questions that puzzled scientists, how could the peregrine falcon, despite all the air pressure resulting from its high speed, preserve its lungs from exploding 

The answer came in the unique design of the head of the peregrine falcon, where scientists discovered the presence of some small bony tubercles at the back of its beak through which shock waves are redirected, which contributes to avoiding them, and this unique design was reproduced in jet engines, in order to preserve the aircraft from the resulting pressure forces About high speeds.

Not only that, but the wonderful flying method of the Peregrine Falcon inspired the engineers in the US Army to make the famous stealth bomber (B_2).

Peregrine falcons have very sharp eyesight that enables them to locate their prey from a distance of more than a kilo and a half, due to their unique eyes that have exceptional characteristics to the extent that peregrine falcons can see ultraviolet rays, and this feature gives them to see the tracks of animals and thus locate them very easily

Peregrine falcons can travel great distances during seasonal migration. For example, some types of peregrine falcons migrate in winter a distance of 25,000 km from their nesting areas in the Arctic to South America, due to their wonderful anatomical configuration that allows them to travel all this distance back and forth.

Peregrine falcons live almost everywhere in the world except for Antarctica, and the peregrine falcon has recently witnessed a noticeable decrease in its numbers due to overhunting, and therefore it has been classified as an endangered species.
