Peregrine falcons have a special anatomical adaptation called the "tomial tooth," which is a small, pointed projection on their upper beak. This tooth-like structure helps them break the necks of their prey upon impact, allowing for swift and efficient kills.

Mojo Peregrine Falcon Review:
While this Peregrine Falcon model by Mojo has a nice overall sculpt that accentuates fine details such as the tomial tooth on the beak, the paint application leaves much to be desired. As a gift for a child, this figure will be fine, if you are however wanting more detail from your paint job, this most likely isn't the figure for you.
Peregrine Falcon Information:
Peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) are magnificent birds of prey known for their incredible speed and agility. They are widely distributed around the world and can be found on every continent except Antarctica. Peregrine falcons are highly adapted for hunting, and they are considered the fastest birds in the world. Peregrine falcons are medium-sized raptors, with adults typically measuring about 36 to 48 centimeters (14 to 19 inches) in length and weighing around 500 to 1,500 grams (1.1 to 3.3 pounds). Their plumage is characterized by a combination of dark gray or blackish upper parts and white underparts with fine barring. This coloration helps them blend in with their surroundings during flight.
Peregrine falcons are known for their remarkable speed during hunting dives, called "stoops." They are capable of reaching speeds exceeding 320 kilometers per hour (200 miles per hour), making them the fastest animals on the planet. Their streamlined body, long, pointed wings, and sharp talons are well-suited for hunting in open areas. They have a falconry technique called "aerial stooping" where they dive at high speeds to strike their prey, often birds, mid-flight.
Peregrine falcons are highly adaptable and can be found in a wide range of habitats, including mountains, coastlines, forests, and cities. They are known for nesting on cliffs and tall structures such as skyscrapers and bridges.
