ANATOMY
PEREGRINE
FALCON
Peregrine falcons soar
and dive to catch their
food in the air. Here
are some reasons why
peregrine falcons are
amazing hunters.
A falcon
can flap its
wings four
DIVING times in one
second.
Its open
wings are as
wide as your
open arms.
The long,
stiff tail helps it
twist and turn
while it flies at
top speeds.
The falcon
uses its feet
and sharp
claws to catch
prey. N AT I O N A L G E O G R A P H I C 21
