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

[giorgiog01]

not really acceleration to both animals is due to gravity and the only limiting force will be air resistance,as a cheetah is larger it therefore has a larger surface area so has more area to resist the air as it falls the mass or weight of the animals has no affect whatsoever so the smaller falcon will travel faster

[19920307alex]

good after i die please reencarn me in a peregrin falcon.

[arkeljankushova]

can you stop saying white ?

[PrimeAliProductions]

Thats fast

[chadbruesehoff1]

STFU with the "wait"

[YmeNederland]

2:06 XD

[Tuckizzzle]

white!

[JadeImperial]

And she doesn't even use goggles.

[jtkent28]

That is really impressive, go falcon!

[itsmychannel]

guys don't worry you have to wait!

[lukeap1]

Hehe...excellent.

[SnottyAust]

Love watching peregrines and especially a pair working together.

chuck norris in eagle form :D

[mrmemanme]

@minhhoang2312 it is a falcon

[xprofessorelliot]

Like if mr.balarie brought you here

[Supergear100]

you should try that on eagle

[HyperactiveRabbit]

@Spliffor white , white white ...

[boardin202]

gay, so a human can go 150 mph belly first free fall... a bird can free fall 180.. so a human might be able to achieve 180 nose diving. How is this video amazing?

[Udilz]

@boardin202 peregrine can reach up to 240mph the Amazing thing is they do it so easy unlike us :/

[flylikeIdo1]

@boardin202 Humans can go way faster than 180. Kittinger"s edge of space freefall speed of 714 MPH. Highest speed without special equipment is 321 MPH.

[ChainsawJulietx]

@boardin202 Still, it's pretty impressive that a bird can fly at such speeds.

[DemonShuriken87]

@boardin202 because the bird can kill, pull up, carry it's prey with it, and with it's velocity from the fall pull up and continue it's flight. Humans can do no such thing naturally.

[Nicro327]

@boardin202 Our lungs would over expand from the pressure if we nose dived at those speeds. The bird has nostrils designed like a fighter jet's filter (Forgot the actual name) so that doesn't happen. Our eyes would also dry up to fast and our eye sight would be come impaired, we can not water our eyes and protect them as well as them. They are also shaped like a bullet, reaching speeds up to 200+ They have UNBELIEVABLE eyesight. The can spot prey from miles away, let alone read a book that far.

[kpkajan]

gay scene 0:55



[RandomCoked]

white... white.. white... jump!

[GRobConnolly]

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

[euchreman]

I should've got a falcon SMH

[majornewb]

Damn nature, you scary

[majornewb]

That bird is AMAZING

[prospect689]

that was sick

[TheOsirix12]

faster then mclaren f1

[Yellow1003cp]

That was Awesome!

[reubenalbert02]

It's Peregin"E" you made a typo BBC! :))

[abstractmusiq]

@reubenalbert02 you missed the "r" in peregrine...

[reubenalbert02]

@abstractmusiq ohh...

your right. o.O

[abstractmusiq]

@reubenalbert02 you also just used the wrong "your" lol its no use being a grammar nazi if your grammar sucks :P just saying

[reubenalbert02]

@abstractmusiq yea i know it's you're but i was supposed to do somethin' .

[fullylovingphilly]

Breath taking. I hope to one day have a peregrine falcon and dive with it too.

[MrTizzle666]

awesome footage, but that is far too high up for a falcon, no? even above the clouds?

[Sabin41]

@caabfilms Kind of unrelated (both birds) but the Ostrich can run up to around 60mph (100ish km/h) which is pretty damn close lol!

[Firestar431]

i bet then the bird jumped off it was thunking "ITS OVER 9000!!!!!"

[OSSRedemption]

duck hawk not peregrine falcon

[jiajie0]

@OSSRedemption peregine falcons are also historically known as the duck hawk in north america -.-

[OSSRedemption]

@OSSRedemption Dude i know its sarcasim dipshit

[thedukeofantioch]

they should write a book about it.

[MrSyntheticDesign]

they fly around new york killing pideons which is very eco friendly

[EllyEri96]

like if chester see brought you here

[DallasJaros]

and how to they get him back

[boogxian]

cool!

[theRealAnonymousRain]

3:50 -cocky Falcon...

[H20revolution]

Chester Knows!

[jalfrd23]

Aww hell naw!! Talking bout wait. I would've pissed on myself being that damn high in the air

[fashionistachica]

"whyte, whyte, whyte, whyte, whyte"

[YaBoyAaron100]

wayt wayt wayt wayt lol

[bovenkoker]

djdoneyerma, do me a favour: fuck of and die please!

[Pml2DarkNight]

you know peregrine falcon are used in airport no matter if there is eagle vultures any bird bothering the airfield thei just let the peregrine falcon fly around and the other birds will get out. today peregrine can scare any bird when i mean any i meantion they even created a robot peregrine to the airport. -_-. IMAGINE EVEN PEREGRINE ROBOT TAKING THE SHIT OUT OF THEM ^_^

[DipSet85]

if i had wings and an aerodynamic head, i could do that do that too.............

[MrFuckyoumannn]

How do you people figure that a cheetah is faster. Speed is speed and in America the peregrine has been clocked at over 240mph and that kicks the shit out of any cheetah falling or not. Whoever thinks that a cheetah is faster is an idiot.

[TheOtherLioyd]

@MrFuckyoumannn Just about anything would technically go faster than a cheetah if given miles' worth of space to fall.

[alexmun133]

well the bird will be faster simply because its 100x more aerodynamic which lets it glide through the air easier but once the cheetah reaches terminal velocity while it falls its speed will reach its max and it wont fall any faster. Weight isn't the issue here. aerodynamics are. go back to school. \:

[jackiescute]

@djdoneyerma. What a cruel thing to say. No human deserves to die. You my friend is one of the reasons our world is so corrupt. I don't care if you're joking. It's not funny.

[MrPrincelforurlove]

Peregrine falcon is fastest living being in air, no match for speed

[djdoneyerma]

that army wana-be bird handling fag is so annoying, i say throw him to his death

[chuckeyloCs]

Dirty british brush your teeth

[ELFHUNTER50]

@chuckeyloCs Fat american go do some exercise

[LAGDOW]

Wow really good video that is why I like You Tube.

[SweCreamMS]

240p, we meet again...

[FindingMyF33t]

3:27 "WTF THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE!?"

[DarkGuardian256]

hayabusa

[SuperGeorgievi]

the bird starts flying at 1:57

[hottfuzz2]

funnyjunk fuck

[domogle]

watch this video while playing smack my bitch up, its amazing haah

[goodnight4u]

I found this video after reading a post on funnyjunk

[GOOdASWOODskater]

@goodnight4u same here

[andrewthedon900]

@goodnight4u me too lol

[dstmt2]

@goodnight4u lol me too

[bigdog9207]

@goodnight4u me too

[speedyvedo99]

@goodnight4u lmao like the rest... me too!

[scagish]

he also does the fastest shit ever

[lamaspacos]

This video is the ULTIMATE FRAUD.

Today, much of science is replaced by pageantry.

[lamaspacos]

For the peregrine falcon, we have:

-Horizontal top speed: 70 to 80 km/h (gives the emotion of 150 km/h)

-Stoop top speed: About 150 km/h (gives the emotion of 300 km/h)

[ramir332]

dude I almost felt I was going to fall to my death watching this video 0_o

[iasahuman]

@warlockmetal1 you can throw a cheetah above but try to make that falcon run, i think that aerodynamic thing wont also work. it is not using its wings,its only diving and only rely on the force of gravity

[robbabub]

cool

[bobbysuger]

but you couldn't even see if the bird actually caught up with them or not...we just have their words on it

[haistapaska20]

wayt, wayt, wayt, wayt

[bomerman104]

@haistapaska20 bloody hell

[detour98]

@haistapaska20 hilarious

[levrone007]

@haistapaska20 i was reading this out loud and a peregrin falcon came along an bit my nose off.. thanks a lot mate

[71m3w4573r]

love it how you say sily british bastards like americans are known for their brains lol

[jaaronhart]

@71m3w4573r Well we discovered electricity. Invented things that you would hate to live without. Id say we aare known for our brains. Were just overlooked by the japs

[OnTheREDPILL]

I gotta comment on this video again man..... poor fucking bird.... have you ever been in your room PITCH DARK and woken up all sleepy... even though the 7 AM SUN is shinning behind your curtains.....

IMAGINE all the sudden those curtains were taken down...... you'd feel like a fucking vampire.... What do you think happened to this poor bird when they took off those stupid leather goggles from it?? also considering it has the EYES OF A FALCON!!!... You Silly Silly British Bastards.... LOL

[Accipiter1138]

@OnTheREDPILL The hood is there to keep the bird calm. She's better with it on, believe me. You don't need to worry about the sudden brightness, either. They can adjust must faster than we can. Humans have wimpy eyes.

[bobbysuger]

@OnTheREDPILL you're not that intelligent, are you? :D

[OnTheREDPILL]

@bobbysuger After drinking a 40....is anyone? :D

[TheCaseBeatz]

@OnTheREDPILL Unless you are a 6 year old, then yea you should still be pretty intelligent after drinking a 40...

[OnTheREDPILL]

LOL what a horrible experiment..... the dude straps on to his buddy's back because it's his first time skydiving? and filming this.... I don't think so......pussy....

Watch a REAL TEST.

[UnrealZmeu]

Fastest creature ever

[Conesbbkg]

OOOMMMAAAAGGG!!!!!!!!!!! A CANT BELIVE!!!! MAGNIFICENT BIRD!!!

[00Billy]

as a skydiver my best speed is 225mph...Always thought a bird should kick the crap out of my skill.

i would say 250+ is possible easily

[titaniumslug]

@00Billy Really? Interesting. Ever since I saw this on TV a few years ago I've being saying that a Peregrine falcon is the fastest animal on earth (since people would usually say a cheetah). Looks like I'll have to update that to human.

[622901]

@00Billy Yea. The bird was trying to stay with the bait, not pass it. lol

[DoubleFeo]

ku klux klan war cry @ 1:31

[dogys321]

i changed my mind at about wunting 2 sky dive at 1:02

[dogys321]

ide say flying in a blimb with 1 parchut and 20 peps is more scary then skydiving with a parchute

[dogys321]

i sky dived once andhit a bird on they way down XD

[92SophieLou]

"Bloody Hell" LOL i wud scream my arse off lol

[Seiga]

The falcon starts bobbing his head to the music at 3:52, he's probably like, "hell yeah I am." :)

[LTACS]

these ads are ruining youtube. i didnt even bother watching this video

[CanadAssassiN]

wait wait wait wait wait WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

OKAY WE FREAKING GET THE POINT

[XxNispectrumXx]

@CanadAssassiN

Its to get the bird ready to fly.

[Scorpia1275]

That's for the bird you prat. not the camera or the divers

[CanadAssassiN]

@Scorpia1275 i know...it was a joke 0.o

calm down bro lol

[BEANS19930]

@superbubbleburst I know I love that book to! You do know that there are two more right?

[imnodoubtflatout]

yh put this reliese on gravity aswell so without gravity it would probably stuggle to hit 80

[alanbuttle]

More animal abuse courtesy of the BBC.

[singularku]

golden eagle is the king of sky,right?

[ninjawalrus]

@singularku No, Rainbw Dash is.

[iasahuman]

am not amaze with the speed of this bird. its only using gravity for its top speed. unlike a cheetah and cheetahs are still the fastest.

[warlockmetal1]

@iasahuman You could throw the cheetah out of the Hot air balloon and it still wouldnt even come close to a falcon. The falcon isnt only using gravity. The bird is aerodynamically designed to fly faster, so the anatomy has to do with it as well. I'll bet anything that the cheetah would fall at about the same speed at a human, because it lacks the aerodynamic structure ,while the falcon would fly 200+ mph. Even flying horizontally, the falcon would give a cheetah a near run for its money...

[SuperBubbleBurst]

I love the book by Jean Craighead George Frightful's Mountain

[AmpedOhAte]

i like the falcons stunna shades

[hardToSignUpHere]

@obnoxious6666 isn't it more sensible just to say 'go', or 'ready...go'? no need to shout, people are not deaf; i just thought its impolite thats all!

[DzzO]

that is not a fair comparison. The falcon is using gravity. They should throw a cheetah out of the balloon to really see who is faster.

[Trollingwithmyhomies]

@DzzO LOL

[liefswanson]

@DzzO definitely the falcon. :-) aerodynamics. a cheetah would have tons of drag by comparison.

[BlockisticStudios]

@DzzO

Yes, but the cheetah wouldn't harness it, would it? It'd be in quite a pickle.

[darklyperfect]

@DzzO yea if there was a thing like a vertical track and the cheetah sped down it maybe it'll win huh

[eirho11]

@DzzO loooooooooooooooooooooooool

[wymetehoriginal]

@DzzO they actually fall faster than gravity because of streamlining

[PureDarkAngelSkillz]

@DzzO ummm... probably less than the people skydiving. since they are using gravity as well, since everyone on Earth is affected by gravity. The falcon is "Aero"Dynamic, so it usually means its going to go faster then other things that arn't in the air.

[stack150]

@DzzO

Lmao... you're freakin hilarious!

[jgaedtke311]

@DzzO ya, and if you threw a rock, they would both go the same speed

[DanyoTran]

@DzzO

lol... you drop a falcon and a cheetah from a balloon... the falcon would still fall faster LOL

[diredhanan]

@DzzO falcon would still be faster

[grkmalaka12]

@DzzO your an idiot they were using gravity too. They had the headstart which proves that the falcon is quicker

[jellybean3264]

@DzzO

[TheMightyLu]

@DzzO a cheetah doesn't have the airodinamics unless they shave it and turn the tail into a spoiler.

[hardxxcorey]

@DzzO your dumb the peregrine falcon would be much faster still it is made to be perfectly aerodynamic

[le3gh0ofd]

@DzzO he would be faster since of the shape of his body..

[Ratitadecampo]

@DzzO that yould be mean!

[Pip2andahalf]

@DzzO Why, do cheetahs not use gravity?

[IceinDark]

@DzzO LOL!

[ChibLeader]

@DzzO yeah but the cheetah would die.

[Pml2DarkNight]

@DzzO stupid no matter how heavy you are even an elephant couldn't beat that falling from a sky. peregrine falcon have shape he was born for that now is the samething as you put peregrine in the floor and ask him to run vs a cheetah. cheetah is faster on ground and him on his place on the air.

[hardToSignUpHere]

why does a guy say 'wait' all the time like a retard

[TheFullM0nte]

This is like racing a jet with a helicopter. One is made for speed and one is made for just plain surviving. You know which one the bird is.

[NearTheLimits]

242 mph is the magic number a Falcon Peregrine has ever been recorded.

[101001avp]

the prairie falcon is just as fast as a peregrine and same size but don't use the same hunting strategy

[Hellion6325]

@101001avp Prairie Falcons' cruising speed is about 45 MPH ..

[Chameaulino1]

IT'S OVER 9000!!!

[Ch0colat3C0okiEs]

He said this bird's got no style?!

[biggerthanyou79]

NO BARSIL DIZEM Q EXISTE ESSE FALCÃO E Q LEVA O NOME DE GAVIÃO CARINJO!SERA?

[doglashimura]

@mauriciopereira82

cara não é um gavião e sim um falcão,o falcão peregrino,é o mais veloz do mundo chega a 320km/h

[TelescopeAtNight]

I dont know who is crazier, the people jumping, or the people happily standing in a giant floating picnic basket at several thousand feet.

[FlamingDragonite]

i've wanted to go skydiving for a while now but now i see this..... and im thinking what the F**k was i thinking? xD scary...

[torotnota]

my pidgeot can fly at the speed of sound... it also knows wing attack

[WhaGwaanBlooodclaaat]

@torotnota hahah
