The Eurasian Eagle Owl is one of the world's largest owls, and an extremely powerful bird.
In forested areas of northern Europe, which are typically inhabited by a number of species of birds of prey, there is often animosity between species. Here the Goshawk and Eurasian Eagle Owl are probably the most murderous!
The Eagle Owl is even known to tackle, quite successfully, raptors as large and swift as the Peregrine Falcon!
The Eurasian Eagle Owl is arguably the largest species of owl in the world (although a large Blakiston's Fish Owl may be slightly larger). In captivity, with access to medical care, regular food and, of course, no threat from predators or humans they may enjoy a life expectancy well in excess of 40 years.
Based on observations in the wild, those birds who survive the first year may expect to live for a total of 12-15 years.
bruno some people are saying the eagle owl will get the peregrine as it roost's at night
