Falcão-peregrino

O animal mais veloz do planeta, os falcões-peregrinos atingem velocidades de mergulho aéreas superiores a 320 km/h ao se lançar sobre a presa, atordoando ou matando aves em voo com um golpe das patas. Encontrado em todos os continentes exceto a Antártida, em habitats diversos, desde a tundra ártica até florestas tropicais. Quase extinto na América do Norte e Europa devido ao envenenamento por DDT nas décadas de 1960–70, os peregrinos se recuperaram dramaticamente após a proibição de pesticidas e programas bem-sucedidos de nidificação urbana.
