Yeah, there's just something about them that really appeals to me. Really makes one realize why predatory birds are called "raptors".

Peregrine Falcon.
From wiki:
... the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph).
...According to one study, it has the fastest visual processing speed of any animal tested so far, and can register discrete changes up to 129 Hz or cycles per second. Analogically, film is a series of still images projected onto a screen. Those still images need to be changing at roughly 24 frames per second before humans see them as fluid and no longer as individual, discrete pictures. The film would have to be refreshing at 129 frames per second before peregrine falcons stopped seeing flashing, still images and started seeing fluid motion.

love peregrine falcons. They're the mascot at the university I'm working on my bachelors degree at. Up in the city hall where it's at there's a Peregrine falcon that nests up in the clock tower every year. so they have a live camera feed up there during nesting season. So you can watch the eggs hatch and stuff. It's fun to watch. Originally Posted by AeneasBK

Well, the already mentioned lyrebird is awesome purely for its ability to mimic basically any sound it hears perfectly, but I'm going to go with the majestic Potoo. Now, if it doesn't feel observed, it looks a little dopey, up to outright scary.
But if you were ver close to one in the tropical forests of Central and South America, you'd probably never now. Because these creatures make Ninjas look like clowns in party hats.
They will sit perfectly still, even of you'd be standing right next to them. The way their eyelids are formed they can basically observe you through closed eyes. Only if you were to reach out to them they'd flee.
They also look kind of adorable. Their eyes reflect light like a cats, so the spanish conquistadores would call the forests haunted, because they'd see the reflections of the eyes, but when investigating, would find nothing.
Being related to frogmouths, they look hilarious when squaking. And their mating calls are outright scary. Imagine seeing ghostly eyes glwoing in the dark while camping, and hearing this throughout the night. Apperantly they produce a similar sound, only higher pitched, being described by some sounding like a terrified little girl screaming for her mom.
Yeah. I love these things.
