A breathtaking view of the Peregrine Falcon in a stoop dive. As it executes this dive, the Peregrine falcon soars to a great height, then dives steeply at speeds of up to 240 miles (386 km) per hour. The Peregrine falcon is the fastest bird – and in fact the fastest animal on Earth – when in a dive. 📹 ta2020photography (Tohid Azimi) | Roar Wildlife News

A Peregrine Falcon—the fastest animal on the planet—spots a target and enters a high-speed dive for the kill! 🦅💨 But the hunter makes a painful mistake: the "prey" is an Echidna, covered in razor-sharp defensive spines. The falcon's talons strike the spikes, forcing it to recoil in shock. To make matters worse, a sly Fox wanders onto the scene to investigate the commotion. Realizing the meal is impenetrable and a competitor is approaching, the falcon cuts its losses and flies away. | Instant K
