Falcon

Falcons are birds of prey found in almost every continent of the world. They have a wingspan of up to 2 meters and can dive at over 300 kilometers per hour. These birds eat small mammals, reptiles, and other birds, but they are also known to hunt large prey like deer.

Fallow Deer

Fallow deer are a species of deer that lives in Europe and Asia. They have brown coats with white spots on their bodies and white rings around their eyes. Fallow deer live in forests and grasslands where they eat plants such as berries, leaves, and grasses.

False Cobra

False cobras are venomous snakes that live in Africa and Asia. False cobras do not have hoods on their heads as real cobras do; instead, they have long bodies covered with black scales with yellow bands running down them from head to tail tip (similar to an actual cobra). They use this coloration as camouflage when hunting for food by blending into trees where insects hide away from predators during daytime hours (when most other animals would be sleeping).

False Coral Snake

A brightly colored snake found in Mexico and the United States. It has red, black, and yellow bands but can be distinguished from other snakes because it is non-venomous.

False Killer Whale

A false killer whale is a kind of dolphin found in the ocean. The false killer whale has a long beak and a very long body. It has a greyish color on its body, but it can also be black, white, or brown. The false killer whale is usually around 10 feet long and weighs 1,000 and 3,000 pounds.

False Widow Spider

A poisonous spider is found in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and other parts of the world, including North America, where it is considered an invasive species due to its potential impact on native ecosystems as well as human health concerns related to bites from large numbers of these spiders which have been reported recently across parts of California (CA), Texas (TX), Louisiana (LA) and Florida (FL).

Fangtooth

The fangtooth is a deep-sea fish with long, needlelike teeth that protrude from its mouth. It usually lives at depths of up to 4,000 meters below sea level in tropical waters worldwide. Fangtooths have been known to grow up to three feet long and weigh up to 2 kilograms (4 pounds). Their bodies are cylindrical, with large eyes and fins near their mouths.

Feist

A feist is a type of dog that can be trained to hunt small animals such as rabbits and squirrels. Feists have short coats that come in many colors, including brindled tan or red coats with white markings on their legs or paws; black coats with tan markings on their faces; or brown coats with white markings on their faces.

Ferret

Ferrets are mammals that belong to the weasel family (Mustelidae). They have long bodies with short legs and are covered in fur that ranges from brown to black in coloration, depending on where they live. Ferrets were once used as hunting animals by farmers who used them in their barns to catch rats and mice but now they’re mostly kept as pets or research subjects due to their intelligence.

Ferruginous Hawk

The ferruginous hawk is a large, brown hawk that lives in the southwestern United States. The name “ferruginous” comes from the Latin word for rust, which it gets from its rusty-brown feathers. It is often seen soaring high above the desert plains.

Flying Fish

Flying fish are fish that can glide through water using their pectoral fins as wings until they reach the surface. They can then launch themselves into flight using their pelvic fins like wings and their tail fin, which acts as an aerodynamic rudder when underwater. Still, it functions as a stabilizer during the flight when above water so that they do not flip over onto their backside.

Fox

Foxes are among the most intelligent of all wild animals, able to recognize individual humans from their scent alone. They are also known for their cunning nature, which allows them to outsmart prey such as rabbits and small birds.

Fox Snake

Fox snakes are non-venomous constrictors that live in Asia, Africa, Europe and North America. They have large eyes that allow them to see well even when they’re hunting at night or underground; these snakes also have excellent hearing, which helps them locate prey who might otherwise be able to escape undetected due to their small size (e.g.,,, mice).

Fur Seal

Fur seals are marine mammals that live in cold ocean waters around Antarctica. They spend most of their time in the water and can dive up to 500 meters deep. Fur seals are social animals that live in groups called harems, which comprise one male and several females who mate with him.
