CHAPTER 1

You may very well be fast on your feet. But if you want to WIN races, never race a CHEETAH-or even an OSTRICH, for that matter.

If you ran very hard, you might reach a speed of 15 miles per hour. That's not nearly fast enough to keep up with an ostrich. With a top skeed of about 45 miles per hour, an ostrich is the world's fastest 2-legged runner.

But the cheetah will certainly be way out in front. A cheetah can reach a speed of about 70 miles per hour-MORE THAN A MILE A MINUTE! No animal on EARTH can run faster than that!

But a cheetah can't run nearly as fast as a PEREGRINE FALCON can SWOOP!

A peregrine falcon can dive through the sky at about 200 miles per hour! That's 3 times as fast as a car zooming along a high way!

A peregrine falcon is truly a SUPER SWOOPER. It can dive faster than any creature can run.
