Peregrine Falcon as Totem

The peregrine falcon has the distinctive honour of being the fastest animal in the world, reaching speeds of over 300kph in hunting dives. For a while, they were an endangered species due to DDT poisoning, but since the restriction of pesticides like DDT, the peregrine falcon has made a full recovery.






Has a lot of gold, iridescent paint in the red circles. I love iridescent paint. I want to marry it.

This is gorgeous! The purples and blues really make the peregrin jump off the page and the reds and oranges accentuate it too. And the detail in the eyes is very life-like. Beautiful!
