7 weeks old… Waddling around on big feet, like a puppy dog… Still learning how to fly.

Each of her eyes is bigger than her brain.

As an adult, she will be able to kill small deer with her beak and pierce 18-gauge steel (e.g., a baking tray) with her talons.

The European Eagle Owl is the largest owl in the world.
