Diving for Dinner
Photograph by Daniel J. Cox
Even when deep snow conceals the rodents they depend on for food, great gray owls, like this one in Manitoba, keep themselves well fed. Their hearing is so acute that they can hear the squeaks and scrabbles of their prey under a foot of snow, and they're strong enough to plunge through snow crust so thick that a grown person could walk on it without breaking through.
