Peregrine Falcon (In Stoop)
The fastest animal alive at 389 km/h/Small Animals
The peregrine falcon achieves the highest speed of any animal during its hunting stoop (high-speed dive), reaching over 389 km/h. It folds its wings against its body and becomes a living missile, striking prey in midair with a clenched foot. Special baffles in its nostrils allow it to breathe during the dive. Its eyesight is 8 times sharper than a human's.
