Great grey owl — size comparison — facts and sources
The great grey owl inhabits taiga, coniferous forests and clearing margins. It chiefly hunts voles and other small mammals. Asymmetric ears locate rodents beneath snow before almost silent strikes.
It waits on perches and flies briefly towards detected prey. Bones and hair return in pellets. Adults provision chicks and may continue after fledging.
