Details for Falcon

• Falcon

  Falcons are a genus (Falco) of highly agile and fast birds of prey, found almost worldwide. They are characterized by their sleek bodies, pointed wings, and exceptional speed in flight, especially during their characteristic 'stoop' or dive. Falcons vary significantly in size, from small kestrels to the large Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus), which is the largest falcon species, native to Arctic and sub-Arctic regions including Iceland. Falcons are skilled hunters, preying on birds, mammals, and insects, often catching their prey in mid-air. Their remarkable hunting prowess makes them a revered bird in many cultures.
