THE FALCON
The animals in this photo are falcons. Falcons are small birds that fly and are related to hawks and eagles.
Most falcons eat small mammals that they hunt using eyesight.
El PERGRINE falcon is found over most of the world and is famous for hunting birds down on at 320 km/h.
It was nearly wiped out in North America by the use of pesticides but has since made a recovery.
