In a dive, peregrine falcons are the fastest creatures on earth, reaching speeds of over 200 miles per hour (320 kilometres per hour). They kill their prey, which consists of smaller birds, in the air, then take it back to their nest to feed. The interiors of their nostrils contain a number of folds and ridges to slow down the air entering their nose, and without them they would suffocate during a dive, as the air would be forced into their lungs and out again before they could absorb oxygen. Um. That's allz I got.
