The secret suddenly turned the falcon into the world's most

What is the secret to falcon's peak hunting ability?

Ancient people themselves, everyone knows falcons are superhuman predators. They have the ability to glide from the highest corners and come down at a very fast speed, and blinked at the mouse in its claws.

That top-level hunting ability is due in part to the keen eyes, allowing them to observe everything from a great distance.

The Harrisbirds possess a pair of eyes with the ability to sense the best color in the animal world.

But according to recent research from Lund University (Sweden), that's not all. There is another secret in the eagle's eyes that we have never known before, that is the ability to sense color !

Specifically, the experts confirmed that the falcon - more accurately the Harris falcon - possesses a pair of eyes with the ability to perceive the best color in the animal world. Even better than humans. And they believe that the eyes themselves helped them locate, track and catch prey.

"I did not think that the ability to perceive color was so important. Before that, everyone thought that falcon had a better vision, looked farther and that was enough" - quoted Almut Kelber, expert. Biology from Lund University.

Usually, the size of the eyes can determine the vision, the "sharpness" of the image, and help people and animals perceive the image. The bigger the eye, the sharper the image. At the same time, the size of the eye is also proportional to the size of the body. The bigger the body, the bigger the eyes.

But sometimes there are exceptions, and the Harris falcon (Parabuteo unicinctus) is one of them.

This falcon's ability to perceive colors is amazing, the best of all animals in the world

According to experts, when observing an object in a different color from the surrounding background, the Harris falcon can identify it twice as far from human eyesight.

"Amazing. The bird weighs less than 1 kilogram, has small eyes. But the vision and visual ability are much more terrible than humans, even when their prey is small" - Simon Potier , experts in the research team shared.

The ability to perceive color is considered very important, because the hunting environment of falcons is forests , where prey has great hiding places.

This discovery itself is also very important in conservation. In fact, one of the reasons why falcons are falling in numbers is because they bump into human works - like wind turbines and high-voltage wires.

"When we determine how the falcon senses the world around us, we can limit it," Potier added.
