Great Horned Owl: The Owl That Says "You're Mine"

Nature isn’t just sunsets and soft breezes — it’s also full of tiny thieves, feathery soap opera stars, and animals who could win gold medals for drama. From dive-bombing hummingbirds to marmots who basically sleep through life, meet the wildest, weirdest, and most wonderful creatures you might not have realized were right outside your door.

You know those yellow-eyed, furious-looking owls? Yeah, those are Great Horned Owls — and they are basically the thugs of the bird world. They’ll eat skunks. They’ll evict bigger birds like Red-tailed Hawks from their nests. They’ll even glare at YOU if you happen to walk under their tree. Their talons can crush prey with 500 pounds of force per square inch — the same as a strong dog’s bite! If looks could kill...well, Great Horned Owls figured out how to do both.
