While this Peregrine Falcon model by Mojo has a nice overall sculpt that accentuates fine details such as the tomial tooth on the beak, the paint application could be improved. The vibrant yellow feet and face feathers do grab the eye. As a gift for a child, this figure will be fine, if you a serious collector, this most likely isn't the figure for you.
The Mojo Peregrine Falcon measures: 2" T x 3" L.
Peregrine falcons are magnificent birds of prey known for their incredible speed and agility. They are widely distributed around the world and can be found on every continent except Antarctica. Peregrine falcons are highly adapted for hunting, and they are considered the fastest birds in the world.
Peregrine falcons are known for their remarkable speed during hunting dives, called "stoops." They are capable of reaching speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour, making them the fastest animals on the planet. Their streamlined body, long, pointed wings, and sharp talons are well-suited for hunting in open areas. They have a falconry technique called "aerial stooping" where they dive at high speeds to strike their prey, often birds, mid-flight.
Peregrine falcons have a special anatomical adaptation called the "tomial tooth," which is a small, pointed projection on their upper beak. This tooth-like structure helps them break the necks of their prey upon impact, allowing for swift and efficient kills.
