Have you ever wondered which animals were the fastest? Well, it turns out that the top 5 are all BIRDS! That's right, these five birds can go faster than any other creatures on the planet. The peregrine falcon, golden eagle, gyrfalcon, swift, and Eurasian hobby can all fly at incredible speeds. Most of these birds are birds of prey that pick up a great deal of their speed in their dives, but not all of them!
Coyote Peterson is getting an education in speed from the fastest animal in the world the Peregrine Falcon! This stealthy bird is one top predator and in the wild can reach speeds well over 200MPH but today we are going to slow things down a bit to hang out with our new friend Aragon.

Aragon is a falcon that was injured but was lucky enough to have found a new home at the Ohio Wildlife Center and is now a representative for his species and a proud feather donor for other birds that need a little help. One thing is for sure, these birds are absolutely beautiful!
