The Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) is a fierce predator. It has a crushing grip, which it uses to snap the spines of prey, that takes 28 pounds (12.7 kilograms) of force to open when clenched.🦉
This hunter is able to take down larger birds and mammals—and is even known to pursue porcupines. It has a wide range across North and South America and lives in many habitats including forests, woodlands, swamps, and deserts.
