The Great Horned Owl is one of the largest and most powerful owl species in America. What are your thoughts on this magnificent bird?

The Cameraman was an even better stalker.

My dude slurped down the mouse like spaghetti

No flap sounds? Really a deadly and silent nocturnal hunter. Perfectly evolved to hunt flawlessly in the dark. I guess, those ear-like feathers makes it look more... Beautiful.

It's so scary when one sees an owl in the dark. Their eyes are so powerful.

He is probably thinking : "To Hoot or Not to Hoot, that is the question"

Love owls. They're essentially flying cats, such perfect hunters.

Owls are slowly becoming my favorite animal. They’re amazing. They look mythical, they’re quiet, and they could stare a hole into you.

When you watch a one video of an owl and now you're watching owl videos for over 3 hours

[snowman]

It is totally amazing the shots that were taken for this video.👍

Flying without any noise, seeing in the night very well and hearing perfectly. What a great predator.

Owls are truly badass creatures. People always talk about eagles and hawks when thinking about alpha birds of prey and I always go immediately to owls. Got to see a barn owl up close a lot when I was kid because he lived in a building we had on the property. I'd stay out there some nights during the summer to watch him leave on his hunts and even saw him bring a mouse back to his nest for dinner a couple times. Truly amazing animals.

Mouse: wandering through the bushes
Owl: so you have chosen death...

Sweet Jesus, that Owl is beautiful <3

[KeshaCooksSometimes]

I love how nat geo has every perspective of the owl at the most random moments lmao

[geekygal]

How do they film this stuff? I’ve always been curious about how they film this kind of scenario

[ScarFeiss]

I saw an owl one night while walking. Don't know what kind specifically but they are waaay bigger than you think with those wingspan. It was like Batman flying out of a tree

[benlazregkh_alil]

My favourite animal 🔥 best killer bird for me .
