Peregrine Falcon - the fastest flying bird
This a great example of how nature and animals evolve – it is a constant re-engineering for making a better model.
Now give a closer look at its nostril – you would notice a ‘Flap” located little inside. These flaps close the airways to the lungs when it dives at such high speed. This prevents the lungs from bursting with extreme wind pressure.
