A Bartkauz, or Great Grey Owl, swoops down from a wall of the Kassleburg Pelm during the Adler und Wolfspark in Pelm bei Gerolstein bird show. The Great Grey Owl uses the advantages of its uniques ear positioning and the tufts of feathers around its keen eyes to listen to and watch for prey; they then swoop low for their catch. They have excellent hearing, and can capture prey moving in tunnels beneath 60 cm (2 feet) of snow.
