Peregrine falcon

The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) or simply peregrine is a large falcon species. It has a blue-gray back, a black head, and white underparts. The peregrine falcon is notable for being the fastest bird and the fastest species in the animal kingdom, reaching over 320km/h. Peregrine falcons can be found almost everywhere in the world, with exceptions including extreme polar regions, most tropical rainforests, very high mountains, and New Zealand, making it one of the most widespread bird species. It's diet consists almost exclusively on medium sized birds, though it would sometimes hunt small mammals, small reptiles, and insects. Like most bird-eating raptors, they are sexually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males.
