Tiny spy cameras allow you to see some of the world's most magnificent birds in flight. Watch this video to learn how the fastest bird on the planet, the peregrine falcon, keeps control at mind-numbing speeds, and take a flight with the master of manoeuvrability, the Gos Hawk, as it flies through dense woodland. Great animal video from BBC wildlife show Animal Camera, with music by Gregory Paul.

Apr 17, 2012 - Physically speaking, animals are so much cooler than us. WTF can a human do to come anywhere near what these birds can do? The world IMO, would be hell without the marvels of nature, fucking hell.

Apr 22, 2012 - Yes animals are very cool. They can do things to the extreme. But humans are no pushover. Why are we the dominant species? We are the smartest. We have a better brain than all the other animals which is a human's special ability I guess you could say. Birds have flight, giant savannah cats have speed, big animals have power, some animals can sense stuff others can see at night. We have exceptional thinking power.

May 5, 2012 - We are also quite remarkable, we are among the best long distance runners on earth, our two-legged design is very good for endurance running, humans and horses are the only known species on earth that can sweat through their entire body - keeps us cool when running for hours as our ancestors used to do. Not to mention our ingenuity and almost limitless capacity for learning.

May 7, 2012 - Many years of "survival of the fittest" have shaped the animals we see today. Humans, also animals, rely heavily on technology to overcome their physical limitations. Shoes, clothing, flying machines, bicycles.etc Our use of technology is very cool.

May 26, 2012 - The power of using our brains to create and design pretty much everything on Earth. Have you not seen the technology being created and used around us everyday? Seriously, just this comment is an example of what humans can do.
. . . . . . . because these video appear directly from youtube.com which we cannot control it.)
