That is a really good owl drawing for a comic!
Pygmy is small in size, but great in spirit!
I get a kick about some of the things owls eat. I was reading about the Eurasian Eagle Owl’s diet this morning for another comment and they will find evidence of the EEO, GHO, and other big owls eating things like deer and boar and other huge things. Scavenging it picking off very injured animals is the suspected source, but many owls will eat whatever as long as it is meat!
Yeah the suspected source. In deer society they’re all worried about these murder owls. I’ve heard most owls can operate a hunting rifle.
Animals don’t start out full sized.
Though not often, Eurasian eagle owls occasionally kill the young of ungulates, mainly roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) fawns. The size of roe deer fawns taken by eagle owls can vary, from 1,500 g (3.3 lb) to 13,000 g (29 lb) in weight. Small adult-sized roe deer, weighing up to 17,000 g (37 lb) have been recorded as prey, though these specimens have possibly previously been injured or taken as carrion. Eagle-owls also take wild boar (Sus scrofa) piglets and young reindeers (Rangifer tarandus) as prey and possibly pose a threat to young of ibex (Capra ibex) and red deer (Cervus elaphus). They rarely hunt domestic ungulates, though predation on “half-grown”domestic sheep (Ovis aries) has been reported.
This is how you deliver a crushing win at Wingspan
Wahou! Is this specie trained for hunting? Like in falconry or something?
Time to prepare for owlmageddon!
Nah those moose bastards had it coming.
