The high-speed dive of a peregrine falcon is called a stoop.
It does a stoop (dive) over 200 mph
Only a peregrine falcon is known to fly that fast in a dive. Here's a link to prove that it can (but remember, only while diving). :)
How fast a bird can dive depends on the type of bird. Some birds rarely dive at all, and others, such as the Peregrine Falcon, rely on diving to catch their prey and are excellent at it. (Peregrine Falcons are, by the way, considered technically the fastest animal on the planet, because their dive speed has been clocked at over 200 mph.)
up to 100 feet away
The peregrine falcon is reputed to be the fastest animal on earth, but only when in a steep stooping dive towards its prey flying below. The peregrine falcon has been recorded at over 200 mph during a dive.
BIRDS,THE PEREGRINE FALCON CAN DIVE AT 200 MPH.
The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest bird when in its hunting dive, the stoop, when it dives steeply at speeds of over 200 mph.
"It can reach speeds over 320 km/h (200 mph) in a dive, making it the fastest animal in the world ." ~ Wikipedia Actually ,this 'Dive' is called a stoop
Although swifts are very fast fliers, and more agile, no bird on earth can outfly a peregrine falcon in direct flight. The peregrine can reach 87 mph in headlong flight, and dive (stoop) at nearly 200 mph.
The peregrine falcon, that can dive at speeds over 200 mph.
The falcon because it dives at more than 200 mph
