A diving peregrine falcon can reach a speed of 340 km/h or more, which means that it is usually referred to as the world's fastest animal.
Description
History:
Peregrine falcons are large birds found throughout the world, and there are currently 19 recognized subspecies. Three of these are in North America. During the 1950s, 60s and 70s, populations declined in many parts of the world due to the use of pesticides, especially DDT. Many birds were killed due to a build-up of the poison in the rodents they consumed, which had eaten poisoned insects. However, recovery efforts have helped peregrine falcon numbers become more stable in many areas of its range.
