Elf owls have developed a unique hunting technique to safely consume scorpions, which involves using their beaks to grasp and manipulate the scorpions with precision. They are adept at finding the vulnerable parts of the scorpion’s body, often targeting the tail where the stinger is located. By carefully handling the scorpion, they can remove or avoid the stinger, allowing them to eat the scorpion without getting stung. This skill demonstrates their specialized adaptations for hunting in their desert habitats.
