  10. ****:SPEED OF ANIMALS A few adult animals, such as sponges, sea anemones and oysters, sit like plants and wait for their food to come to them. Most animals, however, go after it and this frequently develops lento a speed contest between the hunter and Its prey. Foxes must be fast enough to catch rabbits; and rabbits, in turn, must be fast enough for some of them to escape. However, such speed trials are not run on race tracks or according to any rules of racing. The fox ls able to beat the rabbit on a straight-away, but the rabbit can dodge quicker and gain time by plunging through bushes and briars. Some animals win by short bursts of speed while others are noted for their endurance. Accurate records of the speed of animals are rather scarce. The best measurements have been made in recent years by following them with an automobile or airplane and reading a speedometer, or by using movie cameras, stop watches and other devices. The world's record for speed among living things Is best established for the Indian spine-tailed swift, a bird which was repeatedly clocked In level flight, over a carefully measured two-mile course, in as little as 3Z.8 seconds or 219 Mlles an hour. The European peregrine, a hawk used in falconry, was timed at 165 to 180 mph during its dive after quarry. In the United States, the golden eagle and the duck hawk can dive from high altitudes at similar speeds and the latter, In level flight, easily overtakes and seizes such swift birds as ducks and pigeons. A few homing pigeons have averaged 60 mph over courses of a few miles and as much as 55 mph for 4 hours. The mourning dove and the golden plover have been chased by airplanes at 60 to 65 mph. Some ducks and geese can reach speeds of 55 to 60 mph or more, and the tiny hummingbird can do 50 to 55. Most birds habitually fly at speeds much less than their maximum. For example, crows commonly cruise at 20 to 30 mph but can speed up to 40 or 50. The distance endurance record is thought to be held by the Arctic tern which migrates to the Antarctic and back in about 20 weeks a distance of 20,000 to 22,000 miles. http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/natbltn/200-299/nb215.htm

  22. Rock Doves are all blue in colour, blue x blue can only breed blues. If this statement is correct they must have been crossed with another species to give them the red/mealy gene that gives us our present day racer. Y/N? :-/
