Did you know that hawks and owls hate each other? Moreover, this conflict did not arise yesterday. 60 million years ago, owls were the highest birds of prey. Some of them were as tall as a ten-year-old child! But 20 million years later falcon-like animals appeared. And after another 6 million years - hawk-shaped. Both were, on average, larger and less finicky. Thus began a struggle, the rules of which are very simple: either you are eaten, or you are eaten. But why don't we see epic battles above our heads? But because birds are not idiots and know that a fierce fight between two predators almost always ends badly for both sides. Therefore, they do not compete directly, and owls are much inferior in this competition. After all, they were once daytime predators, but it was competition that forced them into the night. But the owls do not give up, and take revenge on their enemies on the sly. The night predators keep watch while the daytime ones fly out to hunt, and in the most brazen manner they occupy someone else’s nest. A pair of birds destroys the clutch and waits for the parents to return so that together they can arrange a dark one for them. And it also happens that owls deal with already grown chicks. Under the cover of night, while everyone is sleeping, they simply throw out the children sleeping on the edge of the house. Are all owls and hawks at odds with each other? Not really. For example, polar owls moved to live away from the war to the north, where their opponents are not found. Some representatives of hawks also do not participate in the showdown, just like vultures: these scavengers do not care at all about the battle, they feast on the bones. 🏀 Hit the hoop and get an NFT gift — https://t.me/BasketbolX_bot
