Interesting fact: The gyrfalcon is the largest falcon species and is known for its powerful flight and hunting skills in Arctic regions.
The answer: Adult gyrfalcons weigh between 1.2 and 2.1 kilograms (2.6 to 4.6 pounds), with females generally larger and heavier than males.
Gyrfalcons inhabit Arctic and sub-Arctic areas, thriving in cold climates. They have robust bodies and broad wings, enabling fast and agile flight to catch prey such as ptarmigans and waterfowl. Their weight supports their strength and endurance during long hunting flights in harsh environments.
