What is the fastest dive speed ever recorded for a peregrine falcon, in km/h? (1 km/h ≈ 0.6 mph)
Answer
389 km/h
That record dive by a falcon named Frightful makes the peregrine the fastest animal on Earth — faster than a Formula 1 car at full speed, with special baffles in its nostrils so the airflow doesn't burst its lungs.
