Better a falcon than a dinosaur at 390kph !!

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.
