How Great Grey Owls Hunt Hidden Prey

[@veldawells2839]

Stunning. All owls are amazing hunters. Superb predators adapted to their environment, and without question a deadly adversary to contend with.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

As long as they eat poisoned rats they’re fine but unfortunate as the case was in the owl that had escaped the Bronx Zoo it was found dead autopsy showed signs it had ingested rat poison

[@jamesaron1967]

@@michaelmassaro4375 I wasn't aware the escaped owl died. It was a local animal celebrity of sorts. Sad...

As always props to the cameraperson. These shots are phenomenal!

Amazing to see

They are amazing!! And HUGE!!!!😳💕

[@robertsansone1680]

They are the largest owl in the Western Hemisphere.

[@elijahmurray6094]

That's what she said

[@jmialtacct]

@@robertsansone1680 Isn't the American horned owl larger, or are they about the same? anyway, the Eurasian great grey does not seem that big in flight. I sometimes see them at night, flying straight into the windshield, and they don't look much larger that buzzards or goshawks. Although the owl's facial disks makes her look heavier than she is.

[@robertsansone1680]

@@jmialtacct The Great Grey is the largest according to the "Nature" series on Public Television. Whatever the case may be, they are large magnificent birds.

[@sharim]

Owls are such interesting birds, I love their beautiful round faces, intelligent eyes and the incredible degree of rotation that allows them to seemingly turn their heads 360 degrees. Nature is truly amazing.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

360 degrees would be one full cirle. That of course is not possible because their necks would break and the vessels running through it would sever. 270 degrees is the most they can do, which is still impressive. Approaching an owl from behind and then having it look at you straight in the eyes with its lower body still facing forward is something you'll never forget.

@@einundsiebenziger5488 Excuse me, I saw a school presentation when I was a kid it went around 2-3X then back 1X & ready to go again, it’s just scary. They might not have those programs anymore. That was 1960-61 when we really learned things.

[@shinyher0396]

Imagine being a small mouse family, and at any moment gigantic claws coming through the roof can catch you, pretty terrifying

[@monicasong427]

Imagine being a gentle pig arriving at a disease ridden slaughterhouse. At least vital carnivores such as owls need to eat other animals to survive. Especially when it is absolutely unnecessary for us to consume fellow animals.

[@fastm3980]

[@MBMCincy63]

I think it would be like living in Ukraine, Gaza, or anywhere there's a possibility of your home being imploded.

[@monicasong427]

@MBMCincy63 War is not essential. It is essential for vital carnivores to eat other animals.

[@theck672]

Thank you for this beautiful and informative video❣️ Absolutely amazing footage❣️

[@RobertWagner-ip6hf]

Owls are magnificent hunters, I can watch them all evening.

[@cheetahbug5]

I love owls. They're so amazing.

[@robertsansone1680]

I've seen them in Central Idaho which is the southern most limit of their range. When their heads are turned to the side, you can't see any of their face. It's entirely recessed into their head. When they fly over your head they cannot be heard at all. Magnificent creatures they are. Thank you for the beautiful film.

[@BafflingScience2024]

As a kid in the city, I would learn about nature from encyclopedias at the library. To see things like this is truly awesome.

[@thedarkriver1]

Amazing! We are so fortunate to have people that study these animals and then share what they have learned with all of us. 👏🥳👍👍

Yea, we'd like to see the footage of owls, hawks, etc landing and grabbing their prey before we see them holding the prey already....

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

What a magnificent creature! As are all God's creations! A full documentary on Owls would be splendid!

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Every owl, and in fact most animals are created by their parent animals. Some insects practise Parthenogenesis where the females sort of clone themselves to reproduce. No other species, neither real or imaginary is involved in their procreation.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

All animals are created by their parent animals. So insect and reptile species practise Parthenogenesis where the females basically clone themselves to reproduce. No other species, neither real nor imaginary is involved.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Why the need to edit in a "whoosh" sound when the owl is taking off? An owl's flight is almost completely silent, so there is no such sound and if there were, you would not be able to hear it from the distance this was filmed.

I saw a huge one staring at me one early morning it was my first day at work as I was looking for the entrance. I noticed it. It was looking at me like it was going to eat me, then it started spreading its wings, and it looked giant. I got so scared I ran and got into my car and called them and told them about it. I found out that there are giant owls out there they eat deer. Im only 5'1 it probably saw me as food 😳
