I pick Peregrine Falcon. They thrive all across the globe, they’re fast as fuck when they’re in a dive, they’re the cutest killers, but they’re not at the top of the pecking order, which means a lust for life.

    Black vulture. The way they just glide on air currents looks amazing. Scavenging seems easier than hunting. And they’re social animals, as opposed to turkey vultures (these being the two species in my area). Plus they look really cool.

      Per Wikipedia, there’s a curious relationship between Black Vultures and Crested Caracaras, in which the Caracara will bow its neck and the Vulture will then preen them. There doesn’t seem to be any discernible reason for this behavior.
