Great Horned Owl, Museum Quality, Educational, Hand Painted, Realistic, Rubber, Bird, Realistic, Diorama, Toy, Kids,  4 1/2 Inches Tall, 6 Inches Long>  The Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) is a fascinating and majestic bird of prey, often referred to as the "tiger owl" due to its formidable hunting skills and distinctive appearance. Known for its tufted "horns" or ear tufts, this owl is one of the most widespread and adaptable raptors in North America, thriving in a variety of habitats, from forests to deserts. Its large size, with a wingspan reaching up to 4.5 feet, makes it a formidable predator, capable of taking down prey much larger than itself, such as rabbits, skunks, and even other birds of prey. Commonly called the "hoot owl" for its deep, resonant hoots, the Great Horned Owl has an impressive range of vocalizations used to communicate during mating season or to defend its territory. In addition to its iconic hoot, it also produces screeches and growls that echo through the night. This nocturnal hunter is equipped with exceptional vision and hearing, allowing it to silently swoop down on unsuspecting prey under the cover of darkness. The Great Horned Owl's diet primarily consists of small mammals, birds, and reptiles, but it is known to occasionally scavenge carrion. Its powerful talons and beak are adept at immobilizing and consuming its prey. Despite its formidable hunting capabilities, this owl faces threats from habitat loss, climate change, and human activity. Known for its resilience and adaptability, the Great Horned Owl has made its home across diverse ecosystems, earning it the status of one of North America's most iconic and enduring owl species. Whether called the "tiger owl," "hoot owl," or by its scientific name, Bubo virginianus, this owl remains a symbol of the wild, a master of the night skies.  At Collectible Wildlife Gifts, we cater to a diverse clientele, encompassing families, friends, and educators.
