A Slo-Mo Mouse Eye View of a Barn Owl Swooping In For the Kill Is Terrifying

Given you seldom see owls in the day outside of a zoo or museum setting , you ’ve likely never thought of them as stone frigid killers . But whenhunting at nightthey can be as terrifying as a mortarboard , especially if you chance to see them swoop up in from a mouse ’s point of view .

In its former collection of high - speed clips , BBC Earth Productionscoaxed a blanched barn owl into attacking a camera hidden in some tall grass , and the results are as equally hypnotic as they are scary . You ’ll never line up us wandering into a dark b ever again , that ’s for certain .
