True or False: The great horned owl can lift heavier loads in proportion to its size than any other raptor.

The statement is true because the great horned owl is known for its impressive strength and ability to carry prey that is often larger and heavier in proportion to its body size than what other raptors can manage. This strength is partly due to their powerful legs and talons, which allow them to grab and lift prey such as rabbits, skunks, and even other birds. Owls, including the great horned owl, have a unique hunting adaptation that involves stealth and strength, enabling them to successfully capture and transport these relatively heavy loads compared to their body size. This remarkable ability distinguishes them in the raptor category, contributing to their efficiency as hunters.

The other options do not accurately represent the great horned owl's lifting capabilities when compared to other raptors.
