Great Horned Owl
When defending their territory, these birds of prey will engage in “hooting contests” against their neighbors and potential threats. Should the contest turn aggressive, the owl will spread its wings and issue a prolonged high-pitch hiss or scream. If the aggressor still doesn’t take the hint, the owl will then “hop forward” and begin striking at their opponent’s feet, using their claws to grasp at any flesh and rake through it.
