The peregrine falcon is a robust and large known for the incredible speed that reaches sharply. The doves and anĂ¡tidas dams are often more common, but is able to apprehend birds about the size of a heron. A world rises sharply from high altitudes, which can fall into more than 200 mph, a speed that can kill the victim only with the impact. it can also capture birds or inns on the floor, and reptiles, mammals, amphibians and invertebrates large. Although this is almost everywhere in the world and is quite abundant in many areas, this species has suffered in some places a serious setback as a result of poisoning by pesticides. You can nest in buildings in urban areas, but their places are the natural rock ledges or cliffs, where the female makes a small escarbadura. You can also use old nests of other species. The setting is three or four eggs and incubation lasts some 30 days. The female cares for the offspring while the male looking for sustenance, but also leaves game after two or three weeks. Young people just feather to 40 days and two months after emancipation.
