The Great Grey Owl Takes A Deadly Plunge | America The Beautiful | National Geographic WILD UK

The Great Grey Owl is known as a master of the winter hunt. At dusk, her mission begins. Scanning the trees and snowy landscape of Minnesota, the Great Grey Owl uses her deep-set yellow eyes to quickly spot her food. Her bright irises are surrounded by two large circles of plumage which act as vital satellite dishes to channel the smallest sounds of potential prey - even the scurry of tiny rodents in the snow.
Find out if this owl succeeds in her mission to catch her prey and explore the dramatic landscapes of America’s heartland in America The Beautiful. Brand new episodes on Sundays at 6pm, on National Geographic Wild UK.
Available to watch in the UK on Sky (165), Virgin Media (264), BT (318), TalkTalk (318) & TV Player
