WINNER: ELF OWL 47-27
The matchup many of you have been waiting for!
The Elf Owl is a sparrow sized owl of the Southwest US and Mexico and Baja. It loves to live in woodpecker holes in giant desert cacti. It has trademark white eyebrows, sure to get your attention. Don’t try to hold it though, when grabbed, it will play dead in an attempt to escape! These tiny owls are bug hunters, and love to eat scorpions, where they remove to stinger before swallowing them. Will this tiny owl be able to take on its challenger today?
The Powerful Owl is the largest of the Australian owls. It dominated the eastern coast forests where it eats a variety of medium sized marsupials like gliders and possums. The Powerful Owl is known for taking prey much larger in relation to its own size than almost any other raptor. It can also catch the largest bat, the Flying Fox. Will this giant defeat the tiny Elf?

You could probably fit three or four elf owls into a Pringles can. Meanwhile, the powerful owl would have no trouble carrying a payload of three or four said cans….
I could do the math on this, but it seems likely enough, plus I morbidly enjoy the visual. The Powerful Owl would definitely like that as well! The Elf Owl is unfortunately a target for other owls as it is already. When will the owl in owl violence end?! 🥺
