If you've been fully vaccinated with all five routine doses, an additional dose of the tetanus vaccine is usually still recommended as a precaution if you're travelling to an area with limited medical facilities and your last dose of the vaccine was more than 10 years ago.

The hoot is a very recognizable owl call. Great horned owls are especially known for their hooting sound, which involves two short, deep âhooâ sounds followed by a long âhooooooo.â This sound is usually territorial and can be heard for several miles. Both male and female owls hoot, but male hoots are usually deeper than females.
If an owl put its talons in its ears, one talon would be higher on its head than the other talon. Having asymmetrical ear placement means that sounds reach the owl's ears at different times.

When this happens, it means that the source of the sound is directly in-line with the owl's face.
