I'm really curious as to what makes you think it would have a different number of legs from any other bird (i.e. 2).
It builds a nest high in a tree and regutates food to the baby owl until they are ready to fly/ hunt.
In the science world, common names often have a hidden meaning to them. For instance, greater and lesser often means bigger and smaller, respectively. In the case of the great horned owl, it is called that for two reasons. One, it is huge. Two, there is a big cultural side to it. It is a big, majestic bird that always announces its presence in mysterious darkness. This made people think is should be called the great horned owl, because besides the fact that it's big, the name "horned owl" just did not do the bird justice.
The term niche is used to describe the role an organism or population plays within its community or ecosystem. It encompasses all relationships that the organism (or population) has with its environment and with other organisms and populations in its environment. The niche of the owl is to regulate the populations of rodents by eating them. The constant feeding on the rodents are to help stop the rodents from over populating.
wait omnivore means it eats both plants and animals right if so then yes a great horned owl is a omnivore
great horned owls are cryptically colored so they blend with their surroundings while they rest. They have a rust-brown colored facial disk and white feathers on their chin and throat. Their body is a mottled grey and brown color above and barred on the belly.
Snowy owls fly by flapping their long wings. it can fly up to 69 mph sh!t but ifu want to be teknical it flaps its wings tucks in its feet shrugs its shoulders and lifts in the air (this is a different person) and it can fly up to 69 mph
If you're talking about what owl like to eat, they eat rodents like rabbits, mice, voles, rats, squirrels and chipmunks. They also eat smaller owls and birds and fish. They may even take babies of animals that are bigger like fox pups.
A giraffe can lift its neck straight up to reach taller branches on trees for food. They also use their necks when they fight.
Has feathers that cut up the turbulence so they can fly silently.
Has super sharp vision.
Has 14 vertebre that help it to turn its head 270 degrees.
Powerful wings.
Huge diet.
Very adaptable.

Northern goshawks even eat great horned owl so DEFINITIVELY the northern goshawk would win
Same because they are both birds different because the great horned owl has a better hearing
By strict federal law, in the U.S., you cannot keep any bird of prey (raptor). Specifically, you can't buy, sell, keep, kill, harm, or harass one. You can't even own a dead one.
It takes very special permits to be an owl caretaker.
However, if a barn owl decides to live in your barn or owl box, and you don't interfere with it, that's OK. In some areas, it is legal to own a non native species of birds of prey, which includes owls, but I wouldn't take the chance unless you know for sure.

A Great Horned Owl is called such because of the 'horns' they have on top of their heads. They actually aren't horns, or ears, as some think, but simply tufts of feathers that appears to look like a pair of horns.
The wingspan of a great horned owl is about 36-60 inches
through deforestation and occacional predjudice, Humans have greatly diminished the numbers of the Great Horned Owl. Very rarely, adult Great Horned Owls have been known to carry off and eat cats, small dogs, and, even more rarely, small children.
