Silent Snowy Owl Attack | Alaska's Deadliest

In addition to attacking silently, snowy owls have keen eyesight and great hearing to help find their prey. What do you think about this bird's stealthy hunting skills? 🦉

[strivingtoo]

That is why owls are the symbol of wisdom because they are extremely silent to the point of giving you a false sense of victory and they are so precise to the extent that you do not know what you have done wrong and why they are unquestionably right.

0:56 What good are big ears when you can't do this?

I like the beautiful Snowy Owl, but I also liked the cute little vole! Nature is harsh.

It's clips like these that make me appreciate being a human and not having to worry about being plucked out of my bed like a wriggly burrito

Just when the vole thought it's safe under the bed of snow. That's some really impressive and precise hunting skill. Kind of reminds me of how these voles are also susceptible to the fox too. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.

This bird knows how play hide and seek lol.

Watching an owl fly, it really is something to see the smallness of each flap of the wings. Tremendous lift with each motion. Along with the ruffled feathers, it makes sense that they would be such silent flyers.

OMG I love this.. especially the owl at 0:57.. very funny there

And when the narrator said "The vole didn't even know what hit him".. and "..as silent as death", and indeed the vole met its death. Beautiful narration

This is a scenario where Ron' Scabbers was attacked by Hedwig

[kevinhone]

I felt terrible when Headwig was trying to defend Harry from the death eaters.

This is about snowy owl that played in the most famous Harry Potter roles.

I just wanna know how they place the camera's there and know that the volde will bury itself in that exact location. Also when the camera is moving with the vole, why isn't the volde running away?
By the way that snowy owl is just beautiful.

[JustBeingBetter]

[snowyowl]

[elizabethcoen]

Being the major Potterhead that I am, every time I see a Snowy Owl, I immediately think "OMG! It's Hedwig!"
