Peregrine falcons dive at their prey at up to 200 mph and catch them in mid flight
Peregrine falcons are excellent hunters that dive at their prey at up to 200 mph and hit them with their claws and catch their dinner in mid flight. Peregrine falcons are the most common birds of prey that can be found all over the world, especially in North America, but in big cities, they can be seen on bridges or various tall buildings.Â
These birds feed on medium sized birds, such as pigeons, shorebirds and ducks, but they occasionally feed on bats, small reptiles or even insects.Â
Due to their high speed diving when catching the prey, the peregrine falcons are considered the fastest birds in the world and the fastest member of the animal kingdom, can you believe this? In addition, female peregrine falcons are larger than males and animal experts say that they are the most widespread raptors in the world. Generally, peregrine falcons mate for life and build their nests on different skyscrapers. Â
Spiders can transport themselves for a few miles by a strand of silkÂ
If you have spider phobia (also known as arachnophobia – an intense and irrational fear of spiders) and believe that you could run away from them because they can’t catch you, unfortunately, we have to say that you are wrong, because they can carry themselves for miles using just a strand of silk.Â
In other words, spiders can move themselves to a different location using just a strand of silk and this process is also known as ballooning or kiting. In general, spiderlings are more likely to fly (namely use the ballooning method) to find food and a safe place to start a new life. That being said, ballooning can help spiderlings survive and reproduce in new areas, away from their parents.Â
According to animal experts, as you already know, spiders don’t have wings, but they can fly as high as some birds using the ballooning process.

I have now a little Chuahhua/Terrier Mix she is 15 years old, her name is SPUNKY she is BRILLIANT. She knows when my hubby & myself are sick or just not feeling well she will cling to that person until you are well again. She understands and sees everything we do and say, she has conversations with each person all the time. the first nite that we rescued her at the ASPCA we had said at 8PM that it was time to go to sleep she went immediately into our bedroom and onto our bed. and every nite even now she like looks at her paws as if she had a watch on and goes into our bedroom and back into the livingroom and back and forth until you go with her to bed. it is histerical just to see her doing anything at all.she gives us all the love that she can muster up & more all the time. If you just mention the word CAR she will go right to the car and into the front seat behind the wheel and waits for you to come into the car. if you don’t want her to know what you are saying just SPELL the word or she will know right away what you are saying. this is WHY WE SAY THAT SHE IS BRILLIANT<
