Speaking of owls, people may think of Harry Potter's snow-white pet messenger Hedwig, they always stare at the round eyes, and occasionally crooked head to look at you, and looks very cute.

However, owls are not as harmless as they seem, they are a raptor.

Their keen night vision allows them to pinpoint each prey, their sharp beaks and sharp talons will pierce the body of the prey, not giving them any chance to resist.

Most of the owls are nocturnal, hiding in the bushes and eaves during the day and flying at night to start their evening activities.

Unlike most birds, owls do not feed on an omnivorous diet of grains and seeds. They feed on animals. They will eat mainly rodents, but also other small animals or insects.

Once an owl determines the location of its prey, it strikes quickly.

The frequency of sound waves generated by the flapping of their wings during flight is less than a thousand hertz, and the average mammalian ear cannot perceive such a low frequency.

The owl's attack is silent and rapid, and this greatly enhances the probability of a successful owl hunt.

From the outside, the owl's fighting ability can be far from that of the eagles, however, the actual ability of the owl and the types of prey it kills far exceeds what one would expect.

In addition to a variety of small mice and birds, they will eat some wildlife, such as wild rabbits, foxes, wild cats, and so on. Owls also hunt snakes for food, and even some other raptors, may also become the target of owl attacks, such as eagles, hawks, peregrine falcons, etc.

During the day, the owl can do nothing about them, but at night, as long as other raptors are not paying attention, they will become the owl's food.

The eagle is a very fierce bird of prey, in the daytime, they have a very sharp vision. At night, however, the eagle's vision is not so clear.

The owl is the opposite, so at night when the eagle is relaxed and resting, the owl will see the right time to strike, often catching the eagle off guard.

However, this usually occurs between owls and eagles of similar size and is not a common occurrence.

Most owls have a regular food source, and fighting eagles is not an easy task, but there is no denying that owls do have the ability to attack eagles and succeed.

This shows that owls have a ferocious side. In most cases, owls do not actively attack humans, but this does not mean that owls do not attack humans. There have been many cases of wild owls attacking people around the world. So don't let your guard down easily with wild owls.
