 * DID YOU KNOW?**

Peregrine Falcons are the fastest animals in the world! Reaching speeds up to 200km. per hour.

The female peregrine is larger than the male falcon.

Peregrines are threatened mainly because of a pestide by the name of "DDT".

Peregrine Falcons were deliberatly shot in WWII so they couldn't catch carrier pigeons.

Peregrines hunt small animals such as mice, grouse, pigeons, songbirds, and other small game.
