The fastest dive by a bird is that of a peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), which has been estimated as reaching a terminal velocity of approximately 300 km/h (186 mph) when in a diving stoop. At this point the peregrine falcon is the fastest animal.
Peregrine Falcon
The fastest animal on the planet
But fast for a very good reason., it's nutritional needs requires it to hunt down prey and the reality of that is all to be seen here in this picture
Nature simultaneously at it's most magnificent and at it's cruelest
Sometimes you just have to stop and take it in
You can travel the seven seas., climb the highest mountains., dive to the bottom of every ocean
But you'll never find anything quicker than what you looking at here
Breathtaking to think of
A view from the Glacier Express, in the Swiss Alps. The train is known as “the fastest slow train in the world.” The ride from Zurich to Zermatt was an incredible experience, filled with unbelievable beauty, good food and wine. This was just one of many scenes that we enjoyed….
Peregrine falcon, (Falco peregrinus), The fastest animal in the world , when in full dive for its prey, a peregrine can reach speeds of 242 mph . It is also the most widely distributed species of bird of prey with breeding populations on every continent except Antarctica . Another detour taken on my way to work in the morning , The Peregrine having just eaten , with crop full to bursting is still after another pigeon .

I watched a group of three juvenile Trumpeter Swans on the pond in back today. Interestingly, they would work on one end of the lake and then launch with a little bit of flight time to the other end of the lake, never getting much height from the water as they did so. I suspect that it's not only a faster way to get from one side to the other but it's a great way of working those wings in anticipation of migrating south for the winter!
Taken 25 September 2020 near Wasilla, Alaska.
Watching the fastest animal on the planet in action was fascinating, getting a decent shot was another story :-) after spending two days with these raptors i was rewarded with a bunch of nice inflight shots...Southern California
Sermeq Kujalleq just south of Ilulissat, Greenland, is the world's fastest moving glacier flowing into the Ilulissat Icefjord at a rate of 19 meters a day.
The Pronghorn, North America's fastest mammal, has extra-large lungs and heart to pump oxygen and blood through its system and enable it to sustain high speeds across the open prairie. And the northern prairie this year is spectacularly green. We had a good amount of rain in May and June, on top of the meltwater from a decent winter snow pack. Haven't seen it this green for a few years!
This Pronghorn buck is galloping through a crop field - not wheat, maybe canola. Running effortlessly. Born to run.

I've seen interesting positions in the air from Bald Eagles but this immature Bald Eagle showed me something different! It decided the best way down was just about straight down.

LNER 4468 Mallard is a LNER Class A4 4-6-2 steam locomotive built by the London & North Eastern Railway at Doncaster Works, England in 1938. It is historically significant as the holder of the world speed record for steam locomotives at 126 mph (203 km/h).
Mkinvartsveri is an extinct volcano whose last eruption is supposed to have happened in the Middle Pleistocene, sometime between 2,580,000 and 11,700 years ago.
A number of glaciers come down from it, including Suatisi, Mna, Ortsveri, and Devdaraki. The fastest river in Georgia, the Tergi, has its source there as well.
Kazbegi is especially attractive for mountaineers and rock climbers, but you don’t have to be a professional athlete to get to it's top. What you do need is good physical preparedness, a well-chosen time, the right equipment and most of all - a professional guide.
There are two classic routes climbing up to the top of Kazbegi and the best time for ascending is from the second half of summer to the middle of September, when the snow cover is less and the weather is mostly sunny.
Once you have reached the peak, standing above the clouds in an infinite expanse, you will gaze out over a breathtaking view that will make all of the sweat and aches worth it.
You are looking at a miracle of evolution., this is the worlds fastest bird.,, and this is a young but fully grown female which is bigger and more powerful than her male counterparts (natures way of preventing predication) meaning she is the ultimate falcon.
I don't usually get into any photographic technical., but this was an interesting one. The weather was poor (you can see the raindrops) and she landed in a nearby tree. To get a closer picture I decided to put on the x1.4 converter and I took some reasonable shots. I knew she would eventually fly off., but expected it would be sideways or backwards because that is what they always do.,right? wrong!
Suddenly the fastest bird in the world is flying straight for me., and I have an overpowered prime lens in low light.
Put the shutter speed up and the ISO goes through the ceiling! Plus the tracking on a quickly closing object simply wasn't going to work
My only option was to risk as low a shutter as I dare., (800) and attempt to spot focus her when she got close enough... click!
It's for others to decide on the quality of the photograph., I can only look in awe at the fastest lady on the planet
Carl Zeiss T* 2.0 28mm "Hollywood"- Distagon on Sony A7RII
This is a rare wide angle lens made by Carl Zeiss (West Germany) which once was one of the fastest of this focal length. It got the nickname "Hollywood" as its predecessors are calculated and manufactured for the Hollywood film industry. Due to its a bit busy and swirley bokeh, its difficult to handle. You have to choose exactly which bokeh area is suitable and pleasant for the picture.
Das verwendete Weitwinkelobjektiv war einst eines der schnellsten Objektive dieser Brennweite und ist von Carl Zeiss nur in Westdeutschland hergestellt worden. Sein Kosename "Hollywood" Distagon stammt von seinen ursprünglich für die Filmindustrie Hollywoods gerechneten Vorgängerobjektiven. Wegen seines etwas verwirrenden Bokehs ("busy and swirley") ist es schwer zu handhaben. Man sollte den dargestellten Bokehbereich exakt auswählen um ihn angenehm erscheinen zu lassen.
The Pronghorn is the fastest land mammal in North America. In this image, the speedy Pronghorn buck is backed by the largest land mammal in North America, the Bison. South Dakota has healthy populations of both species occupying similar habitats, including Custer State Park where this shot was taken.
A bison bull (the largest land animal in North America) strides across the mixed-grass prairie with a pronghorn doe (the fastest land animal in North America) in the background. I was lucky to see this shot coming. We were watching this mature bull stride across the prairie and I could see that, if he continued on the same path, he would pass between us and the pronghorn. When he reached the right spot a single click was enough to get the shot. Badlands National Park, SD.

A small herd of Pronghorn, the fastest mammal in North America, assessing the potential threat of the rolling red Toyota blind. Inside the RRTB: Page the photographer and Tsougrianis the filmmaker. Outcome: after posing in nice morning backlight, this group joined the larger group and meandered away from the park road. Several mature bucks worked to round up the stragglers. Fun to watch.

A beautiful male eider in the sun.
The eider is the UK's heaviest duck and its fastest flying. It is a true seaduck, rarely found away from coasts where its dependence on coastal molluscs for food has brought it into conflict with mussel farmers. Eiders are highly gregarious and usually stay close inshore, riding the swell in a sandy bay or strung out in long lines out beyond the breaking waves. It is an Amber List species because of its winter concentrations.
Ferrari World is a Ferrari themed amusement park on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The central park is situated under a 200,000 m2 roof making it the largest indoor amusement park in the world. It is home to Formula Rossa, the world's fastest roller coaster.
Transport of desire is my theme for today, with three stills taken from travel videos. In this shot, a Maglev train is approaching Longyang Road Station in Shanghai, China. I rode on this train to Pudong International Airport, it reached a speed of 430 Kph; my fastest train ride ever.
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is the fastest land animal, capable of reaching speeds of 93–104 km/h (58–65 mph) in short bursts. Its speed is enabled by a lightweight build, long limbs, and a balancing tail.
Cheetahs form three social groups: solitary males, male coalitions (often siblings), and females with cubs. Females roam widely in search of prey, while males defend smaller territories. They are diurnal, most active at dawn and dusk.
Major threats include habitat loss, human conflict, poaching, and disease. As of 2021, the global population was estimated at 6,517, and the species is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN.
The cheetah symbolizes both speed and ecological fragility, with its survival dependent on continued conservation efforts.
Photographed in the wild whilst on a visit to Dinokeng Game Reserve, South Africa.

After we arrived in Venice from a truly enjoyable ride from Germany, I caught these different & contrasting trains in the station. It reminded me of the proverbial saying, 'lined up like ducks in a row'.
Thank you so much for your visit, your favs and comments.
The cheetah or hunting leopard (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family that is unique in its speed, while lacking climbing abilities. Therefore it is placed in its own genus, Acinonyx.
It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 110 and 120 km/h in short bursts covering distances up to 460 m, and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 110 km/h in three seconds.
The adult cheetah weighs from 40 to 65 kg. Its total body length is from 115 to 150 cm, while the tail can measure up to 85 cm in length. Males tend to be slightly larger than females and have slightly bigger heads. The cheetah's chest is deep and its waist is narrow. The coarse, short fur of the cheetah is tan with round black spots measuring from 2 to 3 cm across, affording it some camouflage while hunting. There are no spots on its white underside, but the tail has spots, which merge to form four to six dark rings at the end. The cheetah has a small head with high-set eyes.
There are several geographically isolated populations of cheetah, all of which are found in Africa or Southwestern Asia. The cheetah likes to live in an open biotope, such as semi-desert, prairie, and thick brush, though it can be found in a variety of habitats.

De jachtluipaard, gepard of cheeta(h) (Acinonyx jubatus) is een groot katachtig roofdier dat nog voorkomt in Afrika en Iran. Het is de enige nog levende soort uit het geslacht Acinonyx.
De jachtluipaard is met een maximum snelheid van 110 à 120 km het snelste landdier ter wereld. De kat is aangepast aan jagen met een korte, zeer snelle sprint. In drie seconden rent het dier van stilstand naar 110 km. Hij is als een hazewindhond slank, flexibel en gespierd gebouwd met een krachtige borst, een lange staart en voor een katachtige zeer lange poten, waarmee hij zich kan afzetten.
Een volwassen jachtluipaard heeft een licht gele vacht, die bedekt is met kleine, ronde, zwarte vlekken. De onderzijde en borst zijn bijna geheel wit. De kop is vrij klein, met kleine oren en grote, oranje ogen. Het voorhoofd en de wangen hebben zeer kleine zwarte vlekken. Van de binnenste ooghoeken tot de mond loopt een zwarte streep, en ook de onderlippen zijn zwart.
De staart is gevlekt, maar heeft bij de top een reeks van zwarte ringen en eindigt in een zwarte staartpunt.
De vorm van de ringen en de hoeveelheid verschilt per individu, vergelijkbaar met de vingerafdruk voor de mens.
Een volwassen dier weegt tussen 35 en 65 kg, maar gemiddeld 50 kg. De kop-romplengte is 110 tot 150 cm, en de staart kan 65 tot 90 cm lang zijn. De schouderhoogte is gemiddeld 80 cm.
De jachtluipaard leeft in droge, open savannen en in gebieden met struiken. Hij kan overal overleven waar voldoende prooidieren zijn en het terrein open genoeg is om te kunnen rennen. Hij heeft een voorkeur voor gebieden met schuilplaatsen, vanwaar hij prooi kan besluipen.
Deze opname is gemaakt in Burgers Safari, het safaripark binnen Burgers Zoo.
