Coffee Table: Bird-Eye View (Literally) of a Falcon Flying at 150 mph
Sunday, September 19, 2010 at 6:31PM Think your Aston-Martin is fast? Just wait until you catch a glimpse of a Goshawk, one of the fastest moving animals on the planet. This bird-of-prey can handle 150-mph speeds, and for them this is just as a warm-up. In the video above, a camera was attached to one of them; allowing you to watch it take a nosedive from hundreds of feet airborne. Think this is impressive? Just wait until you see his reflexes in action maneuvering through a dense forest. Swerving around trees that are in front of you while still flying 150mph? No sweat whatsoever for this little guy. And with the Goshawk’s ability to easily prey on animals much greater than his own size, I’d hate to suffer the bitter inconvenience of being in its way mid-flight. Awesome video!
