The maximum speed of peregrines, hotly debated and hard to test for centuries, was finally put on record a few years ago after a Duke University researcher, using an instrument he invented, clocked male peregrines in full stoop at 180 miles per hour. If a peregrine’s downward attack isn’t successful, it can pursue its prey in level flight at a speed of up to 60 miles per hour, quickly changing course as necessary. This style of hunting lends itself to open spaces, so although the species pretty much covers the planet, it’s absent from dense forestland.
Peregrines kill with their talons, often stunning or disabling their airborne prey on the first pass, then swooping back to catch it in mid-air. A peregrine will go after more than 100 species of birds as well
