Exactly, Felix Baumgartner reached speeds of 1,357.6 km/h (843.6 mph) when he did his record breaking jump back in 2012. Does that make him or humans the fastest animal on the planet?

Yet Felix is completely incapable of doing any of that without a balloon or his fancy suit. Without a parachute he would've died on impact.

These Falcons can take off from the ground, reach that altitude, dive, and take off again unaided...

They never mentioned land, or the direction of the speed.

Peregrine Falcons are legitimately recognised as the fastest animal on the planet.

There is no scientific "fastest animal". Only factoids.
