The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is without a doubt the fastest animal on earth. It has been clocked in diving speeds of up to 90 meters per second (250 kph or 180 mph)and is quite possibly the most efficient of all predators.
The peregrine is of the phylum Chordata, the class Aves, the order Falconiformes, and the family Falconidae. There are 17 different races with varying sizes and colors. All peregrines share the characteristics of basic falcons, a short slim tail and tapered wings.
