There are many unique abilities wielded in the natural world, but I want to focus on one ability from an animal: the falcon.

You should know that falcons are predatory birds, making them very swift and agile. If I took a flying super power from another animal, I might end up clumsy. But not on this bird’s ability! Falcons also are very fast, so if I were to go to a far place, I would still be faster than a car on a highway. And because falcons are very lightweight, I won’t feel very tired.

Falcons also can see very precisely, so if I needed to go bird watching or something, I wouldn’t even need binoculars! Also, their talons can grasp very tight, so I can reach for the soap without even needing to slip it off my hand.

However, if I had to choose just one of a falcon’s super powers, I’d choose flight. I could get to the top floor of a building without waiting on the elevator! And if I got to choose two, I would add on eyesight. This will mean I don’t get to go to the eye doctor and I can spot most of/everything from a picture-amazing, right?

Of course, I can’t adopt some falcon powers by just clapping my hands or what, right?

I hope that one day, technology will be developed that will let people get the super powers of any animal they choose. And in if that happens, I will definitely choose the falcon.
