This is really cool, particularly at the end of this short video when the owl spreads its talons. If you're a rabbit, for instance, this is the last thing you see. Ever. The bird is an Eagle Owl, a Eurasian resident related to our Great Horned Owl. The video was filmed at 1,000 frames per second. It's just a few seconds long. Take a look.
