Imagine being a small mouse family, and at any moment gigantic claws coming through the roof can catch you, pretty terrifying
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.
😂😂😂
I think it would be like living in Ukraine, Gaza, or anywhere there's a possibility of your home being imploded.
@MBMCincy63 War is not essential. It is essential for vital carnivores to eat other animals.
Like walking along a highway 🛣️ and a drunk driver comes along huh
Mother nature’s stealth bomber
They are amazing!! And HUGE!!!!😳💕
They are the largest owl in the Western Hemisphere.
As always props to the cameraperson. These shots are phenomenal!
Amazing to see
Stunning. All owls are amazing hunters. Superb predators adapted to their environment, and without question a deadly adversary to contend with.
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
As a kid in the city, I would learn about nature from encyclopedias at the library. To see things like this is truly awesome.
Owls are magnificent hunters, I can watch them all evening.
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.
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.
Amazing! We are so fortunate to have people that study these animals and then share what they have learned with all of us. 👏🥳👍👍
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.
I love owls. They're so amazing.
Thank you for this beautiful and informative video❣️ Absolutely amazing footage❣️
One of the coolest birds I’ve ever seen!
Amazing evolutionary development, wow!
They so beautiful and amazing
Beautiful
Biggie’s muse was an owl, impressive. “your heartbeat sound like Sasquatch feet; thunderous…”
I love owls. They are so amazing.
Looking sooooo COOL
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....
always whining
That's just nuts.
No fair
Excellent video 😊
Amazing
Gosh !!
amazing!
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.
🦉Oh hi~
What a magnificent creature! As are all God's creations! A full documentary on Owls would be splendid!
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.
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.
I keep thinking she is going to drop a letter.
Fucking Awesome!!!!
سبحان الله وبحمده...سبحان الله العظيم
Animals being eaten=prey not pray.
Wall hacks and aim bot in real life
Ag Coal SHUT UP Coal cAW
Curious. How do you know this is a female owl? Like, I didn't see any feathered boobies or anything. I'm confused.
The males are smaller than the female great grays
