"Peregrine falcons are the fastest animals on Earth, capable of diving at up to 242 miles (390 km) per hour as they swoop after their prey, and they possess several adaptations that help them cope with the aerodynamic stress they experience while traveling at such extreme speeds: their stiffened feathers allow them to turn quickly and precisely, and their unique nasal baffles, the special cone-shaped bones within their nostrils, deflect turbulence and regulate the flow of air into their lungs so that they can breathe at speed."
