The Great Horned Owl doesn't have many predators. They can eat prey up to about 4 times their size. Yeah. Vicious animals. Editor: well true
Although there isn't a specific number out there, Great Horned Owl populations are most likely high in the thousands, and currently are in no threat of becoming endangered due to their adaptability to new environments and (for the most part) successful breeding seasons.

This is a strange question, so be prepared for a strange answer. Great Horned Owls will not eat Eagles, but sometimes Golden Eagles attack Great Horned Owls!
The eat skunks, rats, mice, and other small rodents. Eagle owls have been known to eat small deer.
Great horned owls are adaptable birds and live from the Arctic to South America. They are at home in suburbia as well as in woods and farmlands. Northern populations migrate in winter, but most live permanently in more temperate climes.
Great Horned owls are all over the world except for rainforests and the Arctic. Makes sense....
The Great Horned Owl lives in areas ranging from the Arctic to South America. They reside in suburbia, wood and farmland areas, tending to nest in tree holes, tree stumps, caves, or even in the abandoned nest of another large bird. They usually lay two eggs, but have been known to lay between 1-5 eggs.
it meets its needs by catching rats drinking from rivers and sleeping in trees
it uses its beak and talons to fight of the enemy, but it does not always work
The horned owls are the most in size in the United States and Canada. But for the part of being endangered they are not. they really only have one predator and that is crows because they attack in flocks.
You can do many things.
Examples:
* Marvel at its beauty!
* Sit back, get comfortable, and observe the animal for awhile!
* Take pictures!
* Attempt to draw/paint it if you have the right utensils with you!
Important: Don't get to close! If you do and the owl is near its nest, it may attack you...plus it's respectful to give the magnificent creature its space.
Well, it depends on if the owl hears the prey. If the owl does hear the prey then it will fly towards it, and try to attack it. So, I wouldn't really say that kill their prey instantly.
These probably would never fight.To begin with,a condor is a vulture,and would not pick fights with other birds.Then,a horned owl would not attack a animal so large as a condor.To give an honest answer,if the owl attacked from above, got his killing talons locked on a vital spot,the condor would die.
Elf owls are the world's lightest owls - they are extremely small, weighing in at 1.4 ounces. They are only about 5 inches long, and their wingspan averages in at around 10 inches.
By comparison, great horned owls are one of the larger owl species. They weigh in at around 3 pounds (48 ounces) on average, with a wingspan of a little over four feet.
Basically, by weight, a great horned owl weighs around 34 times more than an elf owl, and its wingspan is a little more than 4 times as wide.
It is basically the same. For some people, cooing is made to obtain territory. But mostly is the singing to get a mate.
