Falcon Adaptations Breanne Rolling Hills 2006 Photo by Scott Wright

As you know, the falcon has amazing abilities to fly at the fastest of speeds, but that is only one of the many adaptations of the Peregrine Falcon. Another adaptation of the Peregrine is its feet and beak. If it wasn't for the feet, and beak it would starve because the feet and beak help the falcon grab its prey. When this bird is hunting in the air it will use its speed to kill its prey. It can fly up to speeds of 200 miles per hour. Due to the size difference between the male and female they each take different prey species.

The falcon has adaptations for flying too. When this bird is flying it uses a small cone in its nostril that protrudes to breath. This adaptation was researched, and engineers began to use it as a design for the plane engines. The Peregrine Falcon has extremely light weight bones as all birds do. Their speed, the way they breath, and their bone structure allows for quick attack.

When the bird is in its natural habitat, its body temperature stays the same no matter how hot or cold the air is. From the adaptations here I am sure you can truly see that the Peregrine Falcon is a wonder of the world.
