Philippine Scops Owl
As cute as this little guy looks, he’s really a fearsome beast if you’re smaller than he is!
From Wikipedia :
They are ferocious feeders and specialize in tearing flesh. Their raptorial claws, curved bill and excellent hearing and sighting skill make them powerful predators. They have been observed to kill their victim by crushing its head, then breaking every other bone of the body to finally swallow the animal whole. This method has cost the lives of many juveniles who suffocate because the prey is too large to swallow.
