Peregrine falcons, their fastest flying speed can reach 390 kilometers per hour, even surpassing China's fastest high-speed rail Fuxing. Falcon (scientific name: Falco peregrinus) is a medium-sized raptor of Falconidae and Falcon, with 18 subspecies.
Body length is 4 1-50 cm. The wings are long and pointed, the eyes are yellow, and there is a thick black moustache on the cheeks, which is gray-black from the head to the back neck, and the rest of the upper body is blue-gray, with several black horizontal bands at the tail. It mainly inhabits the coastal areas of mountains, hills, semi-deserts, swamps and lakes. Distributed all over the world.
Peregrine falcons actually only prey on flying birds. However, like many other falcons, they also catch large insects in flight, such as beetles, bats and rodents. Male birds are small, and their prey varies in size, from tits to jays and even pigeons. Female birds are fatter, and their prey sizes range from blackbirds to forest pigeons.
They also catch ducks, even geese and herons, but these catches are very special. Peregrine falcons in the north are fatter, so they don't need to bring their prey back to the cliff on the migration route, and usually eat them on the spot. It mainly preys on small and medium-sized birds such as wild ducks, seagulls, pigeons, crows and chickens, and occasionally preys on small mammals such as mice and rabbits.
