Owl catches Rat

WARNING (VISUALS AND SOUND) : Please don't watch if you don't want to see an Owl taking a young Rat away for food... This is footage from a friend's trailcam. At 0:19 an Owl swoops in, the trailcam stops but is triggered again in time to capture the Owl taking back into the air with it's prey... and no, the video was not cut on purpose, trailcams record for a set amount of time. The camera cut off automatically, and was then triggered again.
Not sure why adding a warning should cause upset. If you didn't need the warning, the warning wasn't for you. Crazy world.

Before you get your knickers in a twist and post an aggressive "WHY DID YOU CUT THE VIDEO???" comment or feel the need to swear or leave abusive comments, perhaps read the comment that goes with the video, which explains that the trailcam automatically cut off, and was once again triggered by the movement. That is why the video stops. It was not stopped on purpose. Neither myself or the friend who submitted the video footage cut or edited the video at the point of capture. Maybe take a chill pill and work on why you're so angry in the first place.

@@mansonmason6119 The title is "owl catches rat" - and that's what you see. You seem to be looking specifically for "owl kills rat", which isn't something I promised... (and the rat is still alive as the owl flies off, so you can blame the owl for the off-screen kill, if you like).

The world needs more Owls

[@DRACOFURY]

🦉 Are So Silent When They Strike.... *Truly Apex*

[@apocketfulofcurious]

Incredible aren't they?!

[@1984isnotamanual]

[@azinegg]

The owl has a banquet there”

[@jivekitten1]

Poor Ratty, but lovely to see the owl.

[@apocketfulofcurious]

Agreed... great footage, but poor ol' Ratty...

[@skittlesskittles7577]

LoL! Like how the remaining rat on the table jumped so fast off that table with sheer fear and relief. Haaa
He will be next.....😳

[@Pete-z6e]

I’ll be baaack!

[@CarmenGarcia-uu4mn]

That Barn Owl was hunting some food!

[@Divx20]

Aww man I was hoping for the full catch

[@apocketfulofcurious]

Blame the camera stopping! just lucky it triggered again for the rest of it.

[@rjjcms1]

It swooped in so fast.

[@hollinsd]

Where's that? Rats climbing on bowls, etc. Hope people don't eat out of those...😣

[@apocketfulofcurious]

I believe that's part of a bird feeding station. The bowls are likely there to catch the falling bird-seed...

[@oddsman01]

Looked and sounded like a horror movie for rodents

[@toddstrickland973]

Owl's are cool 😎

[@AnthonySylvia-ej2xe]

I need owls in my yard

[@dan9809]

How many rats were there all together? Where did the rat that the owl caught come from?

[@apocketfulofcurious]

It's a property by a river, so there's a fairly healthy rat population about

[@Mushaboom-y6k]

Poor rat he was crying 😢😢😢😢

[@Lunar_Capital]

Why did you cut the catch? You’re documenting nature, it’s okay to show these things. -_-

[@apocketfulofcurious]

I didn't cut it - the camera stopped. It only captures for a set amount of time.

Sorry it had to cut at the most inconvenient time. :(
