Question

Did you know? A peregrine falcon dives at speeds up to 390 km/h — faster than any other animal in the world. It is designed for that speed: its nostrils have small "cones" that slow the airflow, otherwise its lungs would burst.

Accepted Answer

A peregrine falcon dives at speeds up to 390 km/h — faster than any other animal in the world. It is designed for that speed: its nostrils have small "cones" that slow the airflow, otherwise its lungs would burst.

Een slechtvalk (peregrine falcon) duikt met snelheden tot 390 km/u — sneller dan elk ander dier ter wereld. Hij is ontworpen voor die snelheid: zijn neusgaten hebben kleine "kegeltjes" die de luchtstroom afremmen, anders zouden zijn longen klappen.
