What is the niche of a Great Horned Owl?

Answer 1

Great horned owls play an important role in the ecosystem as predators. They may hunt during the day or night, so they capture prey of various sizes and species. Great horned owls also have a large or widespread impact on small animal populations. They eat small mammals, amphibians, some reptiles and sometimes animals as large as the skunk. Great horned owls are carnivores. One of the great horned owl's important niche is their hearing. These owls have the best hearing of all animals and are able to hear sounds 10 times fainter than a human ear can detect. They also have very strong talons that capture and kill prey.
