Recently, I had the opportunity to learn about various types of raptors from the Cornell Raptor Program. It was really interesting to learn more about owls, falcons, and hawks, and learn about what the Cornell Raptor Program’s mission was. It was also interesting to learn that while the cheetah is the fastest animal on land, reaching speeds up to 60-70 mph, the peregrine falcon is actually faster, with diving speeds up to 200 mph.
