THE BROWN FALCON: AN AGILE PREDATOR
THE BROWN FALCON: AN AGILE PREDATOR BI238019
The brown falcon is a highly agile and opportunistic raptor with remarkable aerial maneuverability. This artwork captures a fully grown adult in the initial phase of a rapid dive to capture prey. This stunning adult brown falcon embodies the nature of raptors—a word originating from the Latin term 'raptare', meaning 'to seize and carry off'. Throughout the breeding season, these falcons are fiercely territorial and will aggressively chase off any intruders that enter their domain. What's truly impressive is they also exhibit teamwork, as they have been known to collaborate with their mates during hunting, demonstrating a division of labour and coordinated communication.
