Falcons are a fast-flying raptor with thin, tapored wings, allowing them to fly at fast speeds and change direction rapidly.  Some falcons can fly at speeds of up to 200 miles per hour, making them the fastest-moving creatures on Earth.


As is the case with many birds of prey, the falcon is also known for its exceptional powers of vision, seeing far better than humans (2.6 times better in some falcon species).
