  • 242 MPH!!!!! WOW!!!!

  • Where can I buy a falcon?

  • 242 miles an hour :O Hot damn.

  • velociraptor :)

  • hayabusa

  • Amazing there is no other word

  • W .,aha siKC

  • Comment removed

  • wait.....72 ppl didn't like My Side of the Mountain

  • why did 72 ppl dislike this,? jealous they arent that fast???

  • @ThaDoomin8er I know right? What is there to dislike? xD

  • Humans are stoopid...they dont know if the birds spirit is firey or not their jus assuming based off of what they consider firey spirited. Also whats with the lady getting overly excited about a birds speed?

  • UNA PREGUNTA. SI EL HACON ALCANZA TAL VELOCIDAD, QUE PASARIA SI LE PEGARA A UN HUMANO QUE ESTE PARADO EN LA TIERRA A 300 km X .h, 187 miles = 300.947328 kilometers, The Peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 325 km/h (202 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high speed dive), CAN KILLS A HUMAN, IN swoop WICH 910 to 1,500 grams (2.0–3.3 lb) ON THE HEAD-HUMAN ?????????

  • I bought a falcon!

  • I'mma change my car engine to a falcon

  • @BillybYoutoldme I'm changing my car INTO a falcon!

  • if you guys love this bird you will love my channel, awesome video by the way ive always wanted to see the falcon diving in action you guys captured it perfectly.

  • wow! and we thought the cheetah was fast

  • Damn Nature....You FAST!

  • @martivios, i agree with everything you say. It's one thing to have a machine that helps you accomplish something, and completely another to have a natural ability to do it. Our natural ability is intelligence, but we lack in many other areas. In case of aviation, it would be a revolution if someone invented such an aircraft that would be cheap and safe to fly, until then the sky is closed for most people.

  • Smart torpedo!

  • 0_0 frightful is the name of the peregrine falcon in the book "my side of the mountain"

  • But will it blend?

  • lol "this is like karate in the air" that bird is flipping amazing! :)

  • We may have jets and helicopters, but all those machines are extremely expensive and dangerous to fly, hence they have all those checklists and require constant radio coms. Many people can afford to buy an airplane, given they can earn about 60 grand a year. But hardly anyone uses personal airplanes for actual transport, again too expensive and dangerous. No one just takes off and flies to another country on a whim. Birds fly everyday, as a mode of transport, and they don't have jobs.

  • i would give away brains for wings too... well maybe we can use brains to make wings haha :)

  • Nod at the bird and people die

  • Amazing animal.

  • mr.balarie brought me here.

  • extremely awesome!!! amazing speed, dudes!!!, I used to think cheetah was the fastest, but to tell the truth, cheetah doesnt use gravity to reach up to 100 km/h, so let's not discredit cheetahs amazing speed.

  • Awesome ...

  • Man I hope reincarnation is real and I come back as one of these things after I die. Lol. Most incredible animal on the planet I think.

  • Comment #2600 - I can't believe Rainbow Dash didn't choose this animal as a pet!! :soclose:

  • oh my god her name is frightful!! PLEASE tell me someone else here has read My Side of the Mountain...

  • This birds faster then some high performance cars! Note to self: buy a falcon.

  • Ryu Hayabusa suddenly takes even more pride in his clan name...

  • this is so awesome

  • 242 mph?! Holy crap!

  • and BTW, that tiger humping a zebra in the suggestions column is really bothering me >_>

  • @RikuSpirit lmfao

  • awesome dive. i give it a 10 >_<

  • Freakin' falcons... think they're so cool because they fly fast. "look at me,I'm a falcon...watch how fast I can fly" Falcons...,PFFFT!! Canadian 5 pin bowling...now that's intense!

  • Who came here after watching "Falcon Pawnch! Best Kill Ever!" ?

  • humans are fail.....birds can fly...fish can breathe under water....monkeys can do epic skills on trees while we have big brains....i say fuk the brains i want wings

  • @martivios ok but fish cant breath in air, but we have technology to make us breath under water. we also could build ourselves some wings if we want too

  • @Svvaggalikemine who cares, u have enough money to buy wings or a submarine?dont think so ...unless u wanna spend 30 years in school fuck that

  • @martivios no im sayin scientist can BUILD wings. i say brains are better because all those things except "epic skills on the trees", we can make variations similar to those.

  • @Svvaggalikemine its not the same ,donk know about you but i wish i could fly over new york or tokyo with my ball sack out shitting on innocent people going to work...hmm maybe thats just me

  • @martivios lol well ok then

  • @martivios say that and you'll turn into a flying roach :))

  • @martivios we can use our intelligence to observe nature and make thinks witch can try to emule that.

  • @morris934 ok so lets say we can become a observer,you go to school and become one,then we want to fly so we make a plane, buy a plane which isnt cheap,to make money u need job ,for a good job u stay in school for years,then u get a plane,pay someone to teach u how to fly it,then fly it and you realize its just siting in a seat not flying.sorry man i still want wings

  • @martivios abomb killing japs

  • @martivios abomb killing japs

  • @CHJ330 GO ON THEN SET ON THE MOON?!!! GOOO? OH WAIT U NEED TO WAIT ABOUT XXXX YEARS HAVE 50 BILLION DOLLARS AND A FUCKIN SPACE SHIP !!!! SORRY MATE I WANT WINGS

  • @martivios youre right! the fact that were building nuclear power stations, can control the weather and are close to settling on the moon is completely insignificant if you can do epic skills on trees! YOU FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!

  • @martivios Your stupid as Fuck. We also have years and years of life. And the opportunity to jump out of a plane if we want to fly. I guess you really are fucking your brain cause your dumb as shit.

  • @JakeSkatesGoofy yea go on jump out from a plane then if you can call that flying...and again "years of life" yeah rite ,life is from age of 0-6 thenm ur made to go to a shity building for about 12 years,then you get sent to another shity building for more years and then life?nah then u go to work for some ashole who pays you in some papers so u can go home and eat some food.again i rather live 10 years and enjoy them by flying :).dumb fuck.

  • @martivios You are fucking mental... man, You must fucking hate your life, you sad little bitch. What about all the good things? You sad insecure little piece of shit.

  • @JakeSkatesGoofy my life is actualy pretty fukin awsome except the part that i dont have wings

  • All these things are discovered. Where is your mind? Use paratrooper to fly, use oxygen cylinder to breath underwater, Humans can do better than animals. Human can use intelligency more than animal. You can beat a lion by using brain and tricks... Animals always do those things that Allah uploaded in their Brain but Humans can always discover new things and uploads ownself.

  • @TheGreetingsman again i say my point,you can get a paratrooper,which is not flying,at all.yeah oxygen cylinder ,awsome isnt it? you can swim under water like 0.1 miles per hour,you can beat a lion?yeah with a gun...such a pussy,fight an animal 1v1 with no advantages just pure strenght....nah we cant cuz we humans are weak as fuck.

    again i rather have wings.

  • @martivios red bull gives you wings

  • @FrozenCrewGr TRUE BRO :D!!!SO DOES HEROIN XD

  • @martivios but we can use that brain and our body to have more function then those animals.

  • @martivios I bet they can't fly in space 8)

  • @BoyChibi i bet neither can you 8)

  • @martivios Bet I can 8)

  • @BoyChibi yeah maybe when u somehow get into nasa ,then by the age of mayeb 30 or so they will let you go and then you never go again ,maybe once more ,birds can fly anytime they want

  • Comment removed

  • @martivios Lol who the hell said anything about me. I meant people in general. Geez fuckin buzz kill

  • @martivios you still got to have the brains to use the wings. and controll the SPEED.

  • @martivios they cant build buildings, feel the way we humans feel and fuck the way we humans fuck! fuck wings! i want pussy!

  • @martivio:s fly hang gliders!

  • Glorious is God!

  • vent

    

  • what an amazing creature.

  • yep thats fast but wheres the faster speed clip??? i donts believe youz.

  • WOW!!!

  • shit i wanna be one haha LOL

  • stuka

  • @xn117 lol put a siren on it

  • the peregrine moves like a boss

  • holy crap!

  • SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO SHOULD APPEARS MORE ON YOUTUBE

  • Frightful! from My Side of the Mountain!

  • I love peregrines! They are such beautiful birds, and seem so aware of everything going on around them. Peregrines just amaze me. I fell in love with this bird the first time I saw one in Yellowstone National Park, incubating its eggs. I'd seen many animals that day, including bears, but the peregrine was the highlight of my day. What an interesting a fun video.

  • Gotta love the Peregrine's raw speed!

  • 242 mph holy shit that blows my mind

  • now then

    catch one and teach it how to falcon punch :)

  • Amazing.

  • 242 mph ?! Wouldn't wanna be in its' way when it's going that fast, would slice right through you!! O.O

  • @bellator11 242 Is just a regular speed it record ir 300km/h

  • @SuperPhoenix5 Dude, there's a difference between mph & km/h. 242 mph is 389 km/h.

  • @SuperPhoenix5 not really, 242 mph is ~375 kmh

  • Che animale fantastico!

  • Omg is frightful from a book.

  • lol budweiser at the end...gross

  • Some Falcons have been recorded to fly at approximately 200 mph

  • wish humans could fly

  • I'd love to see them put a parachute on a pig and race it

  • Comment removed

  • 183...lmao

  • Is that Tekken 5 music?

  • I read in a book along time ago they could reach 240!! almost dissapointed when I heard 183 until the end of the vid!! lol

  • i stand as a falcon.

  • Rainbow dash is still faster

  • @gregaaron89:

    Mach 1 is 761 mph. IF the distortion of light (aka rainbows) occurs at this speed, that means she can go above that to maintain her rainbow streak across the sky!

    Light travels at 186,282 miles per second. That's 670,615,200 miles per hour! I doubt Rainbow Dash can travel at those speeds, and the rainbow is merely a distortion of light...

    Wait...I'm talking about a show for little girls as if it's real. :/

  • FUCKING ADVERT i just want to watch sick animals

  • you can see my name , and who see this media he know why I like this name .

  • I can't be the only one who hears DJ Sasha's XPander in that video...8-) Rock

  • thumbs up for millionare drop also their pretty retarded arnt they LMAO

  • FALCON FLIGHT!

  • I'm absolutely terrified of birds like that (falcons, owls, eagles...) but seeing stuff like this makes me recognize that they are truly amazing creatures!!!.... I don't want them near me though....

  • @hyuugasandtinkerbell they are just birds, they dont kill people, nothing to be afraid of.

  • @littelG333 Logically I understand, but since phobias aren't based on logic... ^^ I don't why, but they just completely terrify me ^^

  • a falcon chased my rc plane, it was like a dogfight lol, good thing I was able to out turn it, it was fast!!!!!!

  • Why aren't there any black researchers on this project? Fucking racists.

  • The Falcon Is My Spirit Animal :D

  • chester knows!

  • Thumbs up if you thought that it was the falcon who had a parachute at the end! xD

  • 242 miles as fast as bugatti veyron

  • Awesome/beautiful/elegant -

  • i think they should write a book about frightfull the cute peregrine

  • Even a team of scientific experts need beer to work shit out!

  • chestersee brought me here. :P

  • @asiandudedotph Me too!

  • @asiandudedotph  ME 2

  • That is super speed I knew that was the fastest creature but that is outstanding

  • lol they talk about scientific stuff over a beer...badasses

  • moments later kens shoot fails to deploy and he lands on sharp rocks at almost 200 mph

  • thats like 380kms hrs :O

  • "she shifts her shape to slip throught the airs molecules"

    Rubbish, you can't slip THROUGH molecules...

  • Do birds fly when it's raining loads? x

  • It's funny seeing a bird traveling in a plane X]

  • @Sadowski40

    yeah, lol... i laughed :)

  • 71 people believe that Cheetahs are the fastest on earth!

  • @IceinDark Cheetahs are the fastest land animals but yeah if you were to compare them in their own elements then yes, the falcon is the fastest.

  • @Sadowski40 Cheetah is my fav. land animal, but 'LowStamina' ... is not very good for him.

    So If you agree, Deer is 'WIN'.

  • @IceinDark Yup :D

  • I love the Corona just chilling at 0:58

    SCIENCE

  • amazing.

  • I have a difficult time wrapping my mind around a bird traveling at those kind of speeds. Nature at it's best. Awe inspiring to say the least.
