I heard a blurb on eagles the other day. One snatched a bear cub (est. 6lb) from the immediate vicinity of mama bear.
Talk about surgical precision.
Now, an African Swallow....
The talons on a raptor are made by Wilkinson.......Send them at a cutting angle at 60mph and that's high speed surgery. The owls take the heads back to their nest to eat out the cavity of brains and eyes. They leave the rest of the carcass sans keppie for the other critters like rats, skunks, opossoms, etc....who then suffer the same fate on subsequent nights.
