The Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus), also
known
as the Peregrine,and historically as the Duck
Hawk in North America, is a widespread bird of
prey in the family Falconidae. A large,
crow-sized
falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white
underparts, and a black head and
"moustache". As is typical of
bird-eating raptors, Peregrine Falcons are
sexually dimorphic, females being considerably
larger than males. The Peregrine is renowned for
its speed, reaching over 322 km/h (200 mph)
during
its characteristic hunting stoop (high speed
dive), making it the fastest member of the animal
kingdom. According to a National Geographic TV
programme, the highest measured speed of a
Peregrine Falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph).
