Falcon
Fastest animal in the world - the peregrine falcon - can reach speeds up to 180 mph in a stoop.
Pictured above is a juvenile, one of several peregrine falcons that nest on Mazinaw Rock, in Ontario's Bon Echo Provincial Park. During a recent trip there, I was fortunate enough to get to see three of them up close as they swooped and dove along the cliff, alighting on the trees and rocks near the base of the cliff, just above the water.
