Photo of the Week: The World’s Fastest Animal

Another week, another photo to highlight.

This week’s photo is a shot of one of nature’s most impressive predators. It was sent in by Burlington resident Gwyn McNamee and shows a peregrine falcon at the Stone Zoo. The peregrine falcon is best known for its diving speed during flight, which can reach more than 186 miles per hour, making it not only the world’s fastest bird but also the world’s fastest animal. Its prey likely wouldn’t know what hit it.

Thanks for the photo, Gwyn!
