Great Horned Owls

Hi! 

Today I will be talking about Great Horned Owls!

It's scientific name is Bubo Virginianus.

They are the heavist extant owl in Central and South America. Relatives to the Snowy Owl. They eat about any living creature that walks, crawls, flies, or swims, except for large mammals. Reptiles, amphibians, fish, crustaceans and even insects are usually a part of it's prey.

Due to its natural-colored plumage, it is well camouflaged day and night. Owls have amazing vision, allowing to pinpoint prey and see in low light. Their eyes are about the size of humans. Owls have 300 pounds PSI of crushing power.

The Great Horned Owl is heavily built with a large head and broad wings. Adults have large ear tufts.  

It's call usually sounds like this: ho-ho-hoo. The voice is normally deep.

This is what one looks like.
