Great-horned Owl

The Great-horned Owl is a powerful raptor.

It is smart, fierce and bad*ss all at once.

 

Author Arthur Cleveland Bent (1866-1954) wrote in 'The Life Histories of North American Birds of Prey' :

'Almost any living creature that walks, crawls, flies or swims, except the large mammals, is the Great-horned Owl's legitimate prey.'

 

Cornell Lab of Ornithology:

'Great-horned Owls are fierce predator that can take large prey, including raptors such as ospreys, falcons and other owls'. They are known to kill foxes.
