The top speed recorded is 242.3mph (390 km/h). The fledglings practice the roll and the pumping of the wings before they master the actual stoop.
8. Ulan Bator Ulan Bator, (or Ulaanbaatar) is the capital of Mongolia. Ulan Bator is located at about 1300 metres above sea level, slightly east of the center of Mongolia on the Tuul River, a subtributary of the Selenge, in a valley at the foot of the mountain Bogd Khan Uul. Ulan Bator is the coldest national capital in the world, with an average annual temperature of -1.3?C (29.7?F). The city lies in the zone of sporadic permafrost, which means that building is difficult in sheltered aspects that preclude thawing in the summer, but easier on more exposed ones where soils fully thaw. Suburban residents live in traditional gers that do not protrude into the soil
