An owl with teeth?

This shot is a little creepy, although I love the perch this Barred owl was on. No, he didn’t grow a set of teeth. Those are the feet of a good size mole that this owl ended up swallowing in just a matter of seconds after he tore into it just a bit

    The idea of running from an owl that wants to eat you can be horrifying, if the owl is big enough.

    They would already be a problem, if they were the same size as humans.

    The owl is, let’s say, 10 times bigger than the mole.

    From the relative proportions, it’s like being eaten by lil Owlzilla.

      The Cuban Giant Owl was 1m/4ft tall and 10-13kg/20-30lbs and would probably have put out ancestors on edge.

      10x that size feels like it could end the world!
