Leap and Strike kinetics of an acoustically 'hunting' barn owl Tyto alba
Barn owls are effective hunters of small rodents. One hunting technique is a leap from the ground followed by a brief flight and a plummeting ‘strike’ on to an acoustically targeted – potentially entirely hidden – prey. We used forceplate measurements to derive kinetics of the Leap and Strike. Leapi...
