Speed Demon

The directors of the HOWL museum are looking for predators with cunning abilities. The predator I think should be included to this project is the Peregrine falcon. You might of heard about this falcon,but have you ever seen it in action? The peregrine falcon is an uncommon name to hear and I bet no one would choose this animal as a predator, but that's where you're wrong. Once the directors of the HOWL museum find out of this animal they would definitely put this animal in the museum

One reason the Peregrine falcon is a predator is because of their diverse diet. This means the animal eats prey like insects,rodents,small mammals, reptiles,and their favourite small birds. Types of small birds the peregrine falcon likes is ducks,pigeons,waterfowls,crows,jays,starlings,and shorebirds. This means when you're walking somewhere like a park and hear scared calls and see pigeons fly away always look up,who knows? There might be a Peregrine falcon!

Another reason the Peregrine falcon is an amazing animal is because of their incredible eyesight. Their eyes are round like telephoto lens. Their eyes have 5 more cells which let them see up to 10km away. No wonder the animal can survive in harsh climate. Also their eyes magnifies images like a super ultra camera in the future.

 The most important reason the Peregrine Falcon is a fantastic predator is its speed. Their flight speed ranges up to 200 mph!Thats faster than a race car! They also do perform a dive called a “stoop” which means “high speed dive.” There speed comes from their aerodynamic body which allow them to maneuver very well, fly very fast, and fly very high. The Peregrine falcon maneuvers very well because of its patted wings,these help the falcon to move left and right with no problem.

Even though people think that the Peregrine falcon is not like ordinary predators,these birds are very much a predator due to their ability not just flying speed, but also their intelligence,eyesight, and how they act like us in certain ways. There are now lots of these falcons around today and this inspires me to look deeper into the life of a falcon and their lifestyle. When you go to websites and search predators you’ll mostly find Tigers,Lions,and Snakes. But you’ll never find Peregrine falcons on the front page. Thats why the HOWL museum should put this animal near the entrance of the museum.
