The Eurasian eagle-owls

The Eurasian eagle-owl, which can attack and kill enormous prey much beyond the capabilities of the majority of other living owls, maybe the most powerful extant species of owl. The species is notable for being able to survive on a wider variety of prey than maybe any other comparable-sized raptorial bird, which, given its size, is nearly entirely limited to eagles. This species can adapt to both enormous preys when it is plentiful and remarkably little prey where it is the only variety accessible. Probably as a result of a mix of intellect and skill, the Eurasian eagle-owl is a well-known predator of the porcupine. Additionally, because the Eurasian eagle-owls are the only predators that regularly consume skunks, porcupines are more vulnerable because owls aren't deterred by their looks.


Porcupines are nocturnal creatures, therefore these two species frequently cross paths. Like porcupines, these huge birds are nocturnal. This indicates that they do not hunt throughout the day and that they are largely inactive during that period. Some birds, like the Eurasian eagle, have extremely powerful claws and, more significantly, they fly silently. These two characteristics make them nearly ideal predators since they can trap a hedgehog without giving it time to first curl into a ball. Porcupine doesn't even get a chance to activate a defense mode before it's too late because it can't hear any warning noises and the eagle can hide its presence in the night. The Eurasian eagle owls kill porcupines and remove the prickly skin from their backs before eating them, which frequently leaves up to dozens of porcupine backs lying about nests.
