@SandiService i'm not sure if you're being serious or not, but for the record, peregrines can reach speeds of up to 200 miles per hour, while cheetahs can only go up to 75 miles per hour. cheetahs are the fastest LAND animals. peregrines are the fastest animals overall.

@GOPMichael1 You're a fag. If you get a manicure I am willing to bet you aren't a falconer or austringer. Gay sod.
