Peregrine Falcon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“So far, no bird known can match the flying speed of a peregrine falcon in its hunting dive. The peregrine falcon is the fastest bird \u2013 and in fact the fastest animal on Earth \u2013 when in a dive. As it executes this dive, the peregrine falcon soars to a great height, then dives steeply at speeds of over 200 miles per hour.”<\/p>\n

“The peregrine falcon\u2019s diving speed is amazing.”<\/p>\n

“But this bird doesn\u2019t make the top 10 when traveling in level flight. Studies have clocked an Indian bird, the spine-tailed swift, at over 100 miles per hour.”<\/p>\n
