***About Peregrine Falcons

***: Peregrine Falcons are renowned for their incredible speed, reaching over 320 km/h (200 mph) during their characteristic hunting stoop (high speed dive), making them the fastest members of the animal kingdom. As a species distributed globally, they can be found on every continent except Antarctica. These birds prefer wide-open spaces and thrive near coastlines where they can hunt. Urban areas have also become a favored habitat, with falcons nesting on skyscrapers and bridges, taking advantage of the high vantage points and abundant food sources. Conservation efforts in the late 20th century have successfully brought back their populations from the brink of extinction, mainly due to pesticide-related declines.
