Imtiaz Mahmood(@ImtiazMadmood):The fastest attack in the animal kingdom belongs to the peregrine falcon, at 390 km/h. How the falcon avoids damage to itself if it's hurling its body at other things at this speed, prey or not? The talons are closed into 'fists' and used to bludgeon prey. They attack at a specific angle which allows them to deflect off there target and continue forward. It's similar to skipping stones over water. It's also likely that mistakes are made and some have end up injured.
