Birds - peregrine falcon dives at 180 mph - Ultimate Killers - BBC wildlife 

You can see her spread her wings slightly to slow herself. Shes not even trying. Absolutely incredible animal

and then the bird destroys the chute

Lady's just like "Look at these silly humans trying to dive."

When they take the hood off the peregrine at 1:20 it starts freaking out like "How the hell did I get up here!?"

Just food for thought. The Suzuki Hayabusa is one of the fastest production motorcycles in the world with a top speed of 194 mph. It's one badass bike. "Hayabusa" is Japanese for peregrine falcon.

Am I the only one that thought Lady took one look at how high up they were and, despite being adapted for it, was still like "HOLY SHIT!! We are WAY up here!!"

The Peregrine Falcon can take up to 24G in a dive like this. An air force pilote can't take more than 11G and they have a special suit to presure all the blood in to the head. It's an amazing criature

Lloyd, the owner of the falcon, has quite a few different types of birds that have been featured in movies and the show Nova and I'm sure other shows. He and his wife love birds and keep them at their home. He trains them. By training I don't necessarily mean tricks, although he does do that, but he trains them in how to be adult bird and everything they need to know to survive since he gets them as eggs or babies. He also trains them to do things for tests for science. His goose was in a movie but I forgot the name of it. He has owls, geese, ducks, peregrine falcons, I think a crow, and bunch of other birds. Lloyd, his wife, and the birds all live in Britain somewhere. Lloyd has been raising birds since he was a teenager. He has always loved them and has high respect for them. I highly recommend watching all the different episodes of Nova that feature his birds.

I love how this pops up on my recommended 12 years later

Its amazing how far off that falcon was from her top speed... they can reach up to 240 mph.. wow.

wait wait waiiit whitee wwhite WHITE WHITE

She has no style but she has SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHed loads of speed.

1:57 that shot is incredible

What an experience. Skydiving with a falcon on your tail looks so cool.

Yeah but how fast can a peregrine falcon run?

what if the bird just caught flames while diving.

"The video recorded with a toothbrush."

I really think all this stuff about how fast things fall is totally beside the point. A falling elephant just falls until it goes SPLASH!!! A falcon has complete control of its velocity and direction, all of which it can adjust with phenomenal precision. The real point is that the falcon is performing what it was evolved to do to the greatest peak which evolution has developed. It is not just falling, it is acting.

These birds are my favourite animal. The definition of speed.

3:23 SHE HAS NO STYLE

I love the look in Lady's eyes at 3:28. Pecking in her own little world, then looking up with an expression as if to say "Yeah, what?"

3:22 that was a close one.

Absolutely gorgeous bird....GOD i love all animals... watching her with such control. Brought a tear to my eyes... such beauty... all animals are so precious...

This falcon should've got GIECO. Could've saved 15mins.

0.11 what a badass shot of her. She looks the part of the respect the bird commands. Impressive indeed.

wow, gorgeous bird, have to admire a wild animal that can do 180 mph. falcons were probably flying at those kinds of speeds when we as a species were still banging rocks together trying to make fire. amazing.

Anyone else feel nervous as they looked down?

Why did the guy say wait like 423429 times

I've tried to find a good video of this falcon diving but Damm. There's no recent videos like at all

white white white white white

Totally awesome footage guys, thanks. Keep sharing.

They're my favorite animal.. what beautiful birds.

so coool !!!!!!!! ;)

that'd be so ridiculously suspenseful. that shot of the falcon taking off was amazing

Love watching peregrines and especially a pair working together.

"My ultimate killer" thats the mismatch of facial expression and such words : scary words... smile and affection on face!

I am watching this video in 2019 November

just 180 mph ? have read various times that it can reach 240 mph

Hermoso e impresionante video cuánta adrenalina, felicitaciones genios!

ONe of my favorite exhibits at the Texas Indian Market was the Birds of Prey exhibit. Also at the TX Renaissance fair, they would let these beauties fly over the heads of the crowd, from a good distance so you could feel the rush of air as they passed over, silently. Simply magnificent. Even vultures are amazingly beautiful. Saw some at Enchanted Rock. When one flew at my car, its wingspan must have been 7 feet, and it seemed to just take a step and levitate. Birds are cool.

1:36 The man : WAIT WAIT WAIT THE FALCON : okay I hear you !!

The people that disliked this video are just mad because they will never know what it’s like to reach this type of speed

3:49 branded with a Compton sounding beat at the end. I mean the falcon even nodded his head a bit😂😂😂

That is an absolutely stunning bird.I love all sorts of birds-we have a regular array of 'teeny birbs',like dark-eyed juncos,chickadees and militant hummingbirds,but birds of prey are my favorites!

I got to see a Peregrine Falcon today... Absolutely amazing animals!

This is absolutely awesome,what a fantastic bird.By far my favourite bird of prey.

She's lovely, amazing video!

These guys have the best job ever!

who cares which falls faster, that bird is awesome!

stunning video, love the sky diving and the stunt Lady has shown :)

Awesome bird!! Awesome video!!

Absolutely beautiful video - Oh It is fantastic!

I've just seen a video on NatGeo where that amazing bird have reached a speed of 240 mph. Incredible!

Some say Lady flew away shortly after snatching the bait, and a body double was used at the end of the video.

fantastic footage!

Such an amazing video!

Nothing surprising..air is their world, all we can do is admire their beauty and use our intelligence to preserve them..

that was cool!!!!

How magnificent bird. I Love peregrine falcons.

Thanks for information

30 second ad and no skip are you kidding me

Miss Peregrine and peculiar Children brought me here :D

What a fascinating creature.

Absolutely fantastic

I had seen Peregrine Falcon demonstrations while working at an airport in Canada. They are used to scare away other birds so they don't damage the planes. I knew they could swoop fast but had no idea they could go that fast.

WHITE WHITE WHITE WHITE WHITE

Absolutely incredible!

Thank you.

2:06 someone let out a Ron Weasley "Bloody Hell!!"

disagree with the style comment

magnificent , thanks

Whoo, that first view down gave me a sphincter shiver.

One day I want to fly with a peregrine! Absolutely beautiful!

Me after 13 years

Facinating,brilliant test

Something made you watch! Nature is far from boring. Its complex, vivid & fantastic. This was a small but excellent experiment to demonstrate the ability of a beautiful & unique creature. I say well done to the team. It looked very scary

Have to admire their courage for sky-diving from that height, let alone taking the predators prey by you. That bird could have pecked their eyes out.

Beautiful bird!

Absolutely beyond frickin amazing!!

Why are these falcons so significantly faster than other birds?

I don't think I'd ever do that because I'm afraid of heights

The most amazing bird there is!

Beautiful birds!

haha that bird is crazy

Was expecting the falcon to dive bomb the guys

I love the 4K quality of this video.

I think anyone ever dreamed about flying like a bird, and certainly if you look at this great bird who is also the fastest animal in the world ..thank you for this great shot greetings from the Netherlands

Fun fact: quality unavailable

I was wondering why that man kept yelling 'white,white!' But I think he was telling them to 'wait' lol 😂

what a great show made me respect this bad ass bird, got incredible eyesight too

We don't have the most exciting bird life in the world compared to the tropics, but we've got the peregrine, and that's good enough for me...

This stuff is totally amazing. Peregrine falcons can fly fast while in control. I read that they have a top speed of 242 mph. Next video: Falcon vs. falling cheetah vs falling black marlin vs falling elephant.

lady: "damn i wasted all that energy for some yellow piece of crap"

favorite creature

Beautiful animal!

"Alright let's turn around Steve...turn around to our left"...... Aka RIGHT. -_-

I'm here because SMBC.

What a rad bird! My heart nearly stopped when she took off to follow her lure.

I enjoyed all 4 pixels of this video

Ronaldo has a better dive
