animal review : peregrine falcon

Added: 2026-05-24

[00:00:00]All right, today we're going to get educated, you know what I mean? So, there's this bird that I like. It's called the Peregrine Falcon, I'm pretty sure, and it goes and it flies, you know, it flies whatever, but it dives like goes super fast like 300 mph. So, I just want to watch a video about it. All right, let's go.

[00:00:17]Animal review. Animal review. Oh damn, that shit's loud.

[00:00:24]All right, let's see this [ __ ] bro.

[00:00:28]I'm hyped, dude.

[00:00:29]>> super-powered king of speed is about to clobber one of these pigeons. Aw, that's so unfortunate. Dude, you know what I mean? Badass.

[00:00:37]>> falcon may chase a pigeon in one of two ways.

[00:00:43]Dude, pigeons are fast, too. They They fly like 60 mph.

[00:00:49]Sometimes it works, but pigeons are fast, too. They are.

[00:00:56]That shit's crazy.

[00:00:57]>> jostling back and forth with a peregrine in this mode, prey will occasionally slip away. That's unfortunate, bro.

[00:01:09]Dude, I would love to be this animal.

[00:01:12]>> the peregrine can recalibrate and switch to method number two.

[00:01:17]>> I say that?

[00:01:18]I think I said that.

[00:01:21]Peregrine falcon.

[00:01:23]Oh [ __ ] That's wild, bro.

[00:01:31]Dude, just equipped a speed boost.

[00:01:32]>> the rapid stoop. Nah, nah, no, no. I don't like that. The rapid stoop? Nah, I don't like that. We got to come up with a new name.

[00:01:41]That has [snorts] no aura. Rapid stoop?

[00:01:44]Aw, let's see. We can call it the It's a [snorts] dive at a 300 mph. It's a fast dive. I don't know, bro, but the rapid stoop is not going to cut it, bro.

[00:01:54]I'm just keeping it above.

[00:01:59]The attack begins slowly. Okay. Then gradually picks up [music] speed.

[00:02:05]Dude, that's [ __ ] crazy.

[00:02:09]The falcon is approaching 200 mph. Bro, what?

[00:02:15]Moving at 200 mph is just crazy, dude.

[00:02:19]It is now the fastest animal on the planet. Dude, that's insane.

[00:02:24]Why can't super So, why can't all birds just do this hypothetically? You know what I mean? Like, why can't they all just go up and just dive down super fast? Why does it only work for this one?

[00:02:33]>> The pigeon is defenseless.

[00:02:37]Dude, that's not even fair, bro.

[00:02:40]That's actually not fair, bro.

[00:02:42]Good thing these are small animals, bro, cuz that [ __ ] is not fair. But, even though >> from an attack like that.

[00:02:48]>> that's just not fair. But, like, even though it's so small, I also have another question is like, how does it Like, if it's that small and it hits a human, would that kill you, bro? Cuz that thing is still coming at you like 200 mph, so like >> [snorts] >> I guess not. I guess it would just hurt really bad.

[00:03:05]That's crazy, though.

[00:03:08]That is actually Imagine Imagine you're a little pigeon, you know, you're living your dumb pigeon life, and you finally you like you finally escape a peregrine falcon, you finally escape, you think you're good, and then bro just goes up in the sky and you go and you can't do anything about it.

[00:03:21]That's so unfortunate, bro.

[00:03:23]It like I'm not going to lie, being an animal would piss me off. How does it attack? All right, let's watch this [ __ ] How does it attack? How does it attack?

[00:03:31]>> has evolved into one of the world's most skillful hunters, I've come to Italy and the city of Rome.

[00:03:37]>> Italy.

[00:03:37]I've come to Italy. There's a falcon that flies over these roofs, that finds its prey not on the ground, but in the air.

[00:03:47]Dude, that's crazy how it aims at 200 mph, bro. In fact, it's said to be the fastest moving animal on earth.

[00:03:54]>> It is. The peregrine.

[00:03:56]That [ __ ] so cool, bro.

[00:03:58]>> Peregrines hunt other birds.

[00:04:01]Many different kinds of birds now live in cities, attracted by the food and shelter that is so easily found here.

[00:04:08]All right. They just live in cities. I thought it was like a A building like this is an ideal lookout for a hunter.

[00:04:15]Like you know, you're not going to see a eagle in like a a city, you know what I mean?

[00:04:18]Flying prey can move in any direction it chooses. So, a hunter has to be both fast and agile if it's to get a meal.

[00:04:26]That's true.

[00:04:29]A peregrine's wings have a very special shape.

[00:04:34]Oh, is that what makes them >> and swept back.

[00:04:38]Is that what makes them so fast?

[00:04:40]>> If wings have a blunt end, air will swirl over that end, forming trails of turbulence.

[00:04:47]Hmm, turbulence.

[00:04:48]>> These act like brakes, slowing a bird down.

[00:04:54]So, the falcon don't got that.

[00:04:56]>> Pointed wings shrink that edge and so reduce the turbulence.

[00:05:00]Pulling the wings back towards the body makes the bird even more streamlined.

[00:05:06]See, I just asked that question, how does it do that? Like why don't other birds get that advantage? And that's why, bro. That [ __ ] makes a lot of sense.

[00:05:12]>> crucial to a peregrine's success.

[00:05:17]It also has acute vision that enables it to spot prey over a mile away.

[00:05:23]>> What the A mile?

[00:05:24]>> peregrines that hunt in Rome, these birds Damn. are prime targets.

[00:05:30]And stupid pigeons.

[00:05:31]>> Starlings.

[00:05:34]Oh, a starling.

[00:05:37]They too are prey.

[00:05:38]>> Damn.

[00:05:40]And their smaller size makes them even more maneuverable.

[00:05:47]Do birds eating other birds is such a crazy concept.

[00:05:51]>> must be even faster.

[00:05:53]And in order to gain speed and surprise, it attacks from above.

[00:06:01]First, it climbs. Okay.

[00:06:09]When it sees a group of its potential prey, it turns, dives, and accelerates by beating its wings.

[00:06:20]Dude, that's so crazy, bro.

[00:06:26]The starlings are still unaware of the danger hurtling towards them.

[00:06:31]>> That shit's not They're getting speed blitzed. They're actually getting speed blitzed.

[00:06:35]>> draws its wings back.

[00:06:37]This is called the stoop.

[00:06:40]A super See, he didn't he didn't call it the rabbit stoop. I Okay, I can deal with the stoop, but not the rabbit stoop. I still got to come up with a new name for that.

[00:06:47]>> air.

[00:06:50]Now, it can reach speeds of over 200 mph. Damn.

[00:06:56]As it nears its target, it opens its wings to slow its descent and makes its final lunge.

[00:07:06]Dude, like how do you hit something that's going 200 mph, bro?

[00:07:12]That is You got to be hella accurate to do some [ __ ] like that, [music] bro.

[00:07:16]There's another one I want to watch.

[00:07:21]Dude, you got to be like hell hella Wait.

[00:07:26]Why is it playing music?

[00:07:28]What is that?

[00:07:30]Oh, uh-oh.

[00:07:32]Oh, it was this one. It was this one.

[00:07:35]Another tax increase?

[00:07:37]>> Dude, what?

[00:07:39]>> are proposing another tax increase.

[00:07:41]Dude, I should just watch this one.

[00:07:43]Ah, >> whatever.

[00:07:44]>> is what I Facts. That's just cap.

[00:07:58]Told you.

[00:08:10]That shit's wild.

[00:09:09]That shit's wild.

[00:09:20]>> [music] >> Slotted, long, narrow, and soaring wing.

[00:09:31]That's what this is.

[00:09:32]Slotted, long, broad, soaring, and flapped wing with slotted tips.

[00:09:36]That's what this is. And then unslotted long angular and pointed high speed wing.

[00:09:41]That's cool. I feel like every animal should just evolve to get wings like that.

[00:09:54]Dude, that's the exact same thing the other dude said.

[00:10:00]They got three eyelids?

[00:10:04]That's true. That's also good.

[00:10:08]That's also true. Wow.

[00:10:19]That's damn.

[00:10:23]Damn.

[00:10:29]Then to finally catch their prey, the peregrine is pulling around 25 Gs coming out of a steep. That's crazy, bro.

[00:10:41]Nine? And this dude doing 25?

[00:11:00]Oh my god, they almost went extinct.

[00:11:01]That's crazy.

[00:11:13]Dude, they be eating hell of pigeons, [music] bro.

[00:11:16]Wait, I want to see one attacking something. Hold up.

[00:11:21]Attack. Oh, I think I seen this one where it attacked a duck.

[00:11:27]Wait, let me see. Dude, I don't want to see it in slow motion, bro. I want to see it full speed.

[00:11:32]I don't want to see it in slow motion.

[00:11:36]All right, this dude said outstanding footage. All right, I'mma trust you, bro.

[00:11:40]All right, let's see this [ __ ] I don't want to see it in slow motion, bro.

[00:11:43]Let's go.

[00:11:44]Dude, he has a pet? I can get it as a pet? Dude, oh, I already know what next video I'm watching.

[00:11:55]Dude, how does it know to come back?

[00:11:57]What if it just hits you?

[00:12:02]Dude, what if another bird just comes and takes your bird? You can't do anything about it. That's pretty [ __ ] up.

[00:12:09]Is the leash slowing him down, too?

[00:12:12]I feel like the leash would slow him down, don't you think?

[00:12:15]It like [ __ ] with the aerodynamics and [ __ ] Probably. Oh, that poor duck.

[00:12:23]Dude, you just let that duck die. That's actually kind of crazy.

[00:12:29]Oh my [ __ ] god, dude. That's crazy.

[00:12:32]That [ __ ] looks like a movie, bro.

[00:12:35]He hit that?

[00:12:36]Yo, he hit that?

[00:12:39]He hit that? Oh my god, he hit that?

[00:12:43]Damn.

[00:12:45]Wait.

[00:12:46]Maybe I do need slow motion. No, there's no [ __ ] way he hit that.

[00:12:51]What the Dude, that [ __ ] is still as fast as hell even in 0.2. [music] He couldn't even like record it. He Oh my god.

[00:13:02]I can't I can't even see the duck, bro.

[00:13:03]I'mma be honest with you.

[00:13:07]He hit that? Oh, that's it right No, that's not I can't see the duck. Never mind, I'm not even going to say it in live, bro.

[00:13:14]Yeah, he hit that. That's [ __ ] wild, bro.

[00:13:24]This is a pretty cool animal, bro. That [ __ ] seems kind of OP to me.

[00:13:30]That don't look like no duck, though.

[00:13:34]Dude, that's insane, bro. Hey, you guys comment uh what videos what animals review should I do next? I already got two Wait, he's about to run it back.

[00:13:44]I thought it was the end of it.

[00:13:49]Oh my goodness gracious.

[00:13:53]Oh my god, he hit that [ __ ] That is wild, bro.

[00:14:01]Hey.

[00:14:02]Yeah, but like I was saying, bro, you know, just hit me up with what animal I should review next. I'm going to give the peregrine falcon I'm going to give it a 10 out of 10, you know what I mean? I [ __ ] with peregrine falcons.

[00:14:13]But uh yeah, I already got two animals in my I'm going to just keep it a buck.

[00:14:15]I'm going to watch a dolphin and a flying squirrel. One because dolphins are overrated, so I got to clear up some air about dolphins and [ __ ] and then I like flying squirrels. That's that pet I was talking about. But yeah, [snorts] bro, just let me know.
