Hi all, It may not be the worlds most gruesome killer (seeing it doesn't actually decapitate its prey with 'clenched fists' as previously reported). But at speeds of up to 390 km/h, clearly the Peregrine Falcon reamins the fastest animal and perhaps fastest organism on earth. It is amazing how birds have come all this way as a result of adaptive radiation from dinosaurs. Kurtis Lindsay |
