- Description: A female peregrine falcon (Falco Peregrinus) with its prey. Also known as the Peregrine, Peregrines are found nearly everywhere on earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical rainforests. They can reach speeds over 365 km/h (200 mph) in a dive, making them the fastest animal in the world. Trained falcons are used in falconry or hawking, a sport in which birds of prey are used to hunt or catch game. Falconry is over 4000 years old and has had a rich history throughout the ages from the ancient Chinese to the Egyptians and even European Royalty. Free State, South Africa. 13.07.2009.
