General: The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known as the peregrine,^[2] and historically as the duck hawk in North America,^[3] is a widespread bird of prey (raptor) in the family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head. The peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 320 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive),^[4] making it the fastest bird in the world, as well as the fastest member of the animal kingdom.^[5][6][7] According to a National Geographic TV program, the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph).^[8][9] As is typical for bird-eating raptors, peregrine falcons are sexually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males.^[10][11] [more]
