Falcons, when fully mature typically fly at very high speeds and easily alter directions because their wings are tapered and thin. They are characterized by their long wings and powerful beaks that are adapted to the way the birds hunt for prey, by strongly clawing and then tearing the flesh of the captured animal. There are various species of these raptor birds in the genus falco.
