The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is one of the most widely distributed raptors on Earth, found on every continent except Antarctica. Its name, derived from the Latin word peregrinus meaning "wanderer" or "traveler," reflects its cosmopolitan presence and its tendency to migrate over vast distances. Known for its speed, elegance, and unmatched aerial hunting skills, the peregrine falcon has captured the admiration of scientists, bird enthusiasts, and falconers for centuries.
