Predator vs. Prey

Great Horned Owl vs. Wild Turkey

The struggle to survive isn't always a fair fight.

Strong and Silent

Powerful wings with specially formed feathers carry the owl almost silently overhead.

Focused and Forceful

 Keen night vision helps the owl spot its prey. Powerful talons are ready to clamp shut on contact.

Bigger and Bulkier

The turkey hen weighs about 10 pounds — two times as much as the owl.

And the winner is…

Even though the turkey hen is bigger and heavier, it’s no match for the owl’s silent wings and killer talons. The owl wins.
