🦉✨ Happy Monday, wildlife lovers! Did you know that the Great Gray Owl, measuring 24-33” long, is the largest owl in Alaska? While it's true that the Great Horned and Snowy Owls may be heavier, the Great Gray boasts incredible hunting skills! 🎯

With its sensitive hearing, this magnificent owl can detect voles scurrying beneath the snow. ❄️🐭 Watch out! They often dive straight into the snow, showcasing their impressive hunting technique as they capture their prey even a foot below the surface!
