==Fauna== The 42nd floor of the Palace is a nesting place for [[peregrine falcon]]s. In 2009, cameras were installed at the site, with a live view from the nest being available on the website of the Association for Wild Animals Sokół.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://webcam.peregrinus.pl/pl/warszawa-pkin-podglad-z-warszawy|title=Warszawa PKiN|website=peregrinus.pl|language=pl|access-date=3 June 2023|archive-date=22 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160622014026/http://webcam.peregrinus.pl/pl/warszawa-pkin-podglad-z-warszawy|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2016, after a five-year break, a pair of falcons had offspring there. In a competition of internet users, the young falcons were given the names Bazyl, Orion and Wawa. In 2017, due to the maintenance works on the spire of the building, the falcons were moved to the highest floor of the [[Warsaw Trade Tower]] skyscraper. They returned to the Palace of Culture and Science after the renovation of the spire was completed.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Cała Polska czeka na małe sokoły|magazine=Gazeta Stołeczna|language=pl|page=3|date=23 April 2020}}</ref> Cats live on the second basement floor, with the administration of the Palace of Culture and Science responsible for their care.
