About World's Deadliest:
World’s Deadliest Predators is a new series that looks at most riveting moments of animal predation, breaking down the struggle for survival and supremacy into five action-packed episodes. Top Hunters focuses on the most feared animals in their class: animals at the top of their food chain; the hunters who are prey to no other animal. Killer Packs illustrates when predators multiply their advantage over prey by banding with others of their species to hunt. Lethal Weapons shows that the physical attributes and built-in concealed weapons have the ability to make an animal a top predator. Our Superpowers episode focuses on the animals that see, hear, and smell better than any others…and that relative to their size on are the fastest and strongest creatures on the planet. And whether it is over food, territory or sex, animals go to war within their species and against other species…Battles dissects these conflicts, from the strategy to the play-by-play. These five episodes bring together dozens of species, which are extraordinary, savage, and the World’s Deadliest Predators.

[CliveReyes]

Seriously people who take these kinds of footage are so unrecognized.

[plankx]

There are a few Peregrine Falcons around my house, occasionally you will see them take a pigeon out like a bolt of lightning.
Seriously, the pigeon will be there one second and a puff of feathers the next.

[AndYeaah]

It makes airplane sounds when it dives? Awesome!

[ZombieFighter]

Are these birds... dive-bombing?
With... with plane sounds?!

[ZeusTheImortal]

Pigeons have a top speed of 92 MPH, impressive for a tiny bird that walks on the ground for most of the day.

[chuckie]

The Peregrine Falcon uses Launch Control reaching 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. The true Bugatti of the animal kingdom. 😂

[shukezi]

they were on the verge of extinction years ago and im so happy we were able to keep them alive. peregrine falcons are such fascinating raptors, and that footage was really good

[aritonangoja]

pigeon have a dive bomb too ... it hit me sometimes ... right on my head

[Emmanuel_Rocha]

2:00 that pigeon literally crapped itself.

[VoltsMs]

Rest of the pigeons be like " hey guys where's Joe?"

[CJCroen]

Peregrine Falcon used Aerial Ace!
It's super effective!
Pigeon is dead!

[godknightomega]

ah so that's who' has been stealing my messages and why my pigeons haven't been coming back.

[crabdrinker]

That’s almost 300 feet per second. This is a living bullet.

[parismccoy]

174 pigeons didn't like this video! 😂😂

[AbhishekKumar-tcjw]

200 miles an hour, man that's scary, what a furious catch, nature's skills are always great

[angelinadash]

"the peregrine can RECALIBRATE and switch to method 2" x'D

I love how the narrator speaks in a manner as if the peregrine is some kind of supercomputer avine cyborg xD.

[Kiakaa]

They can come up to 240 m/ph. it depends on the wind, air temperature and of course skills of the falcon. Awesome animal!

[liamg]

Uhhhh....Pergrines are freaking badass. That was incredible. Owls are also cool as hell.

[TooL]

i get chills everytime i see a Perregrine stoop. love this bird so much

[almostliterally]

One of the most incredible species on the planet! So glad they aren’t extinct. We need to protect them at all costs. Birds are the surviving dinosaurs and we need respect and value them much more. Who doesn’t love dinosaurs? SAVE THE BIRDS
