In for the (linear) kill
Most people wouldn’t consider birds to be instruments of wartime sabotage, but one species – a top-notch bird of prey – would have to disagree. During World War II, falcons were often released by British forces to kill Nazi carrier pigeons and prevent important messages from being received by the German front. Falcons have very good eyesight and can spot their next meal up to a...
