A clear size difference is visible between the four barn owl (Tyto alba) nestlings inside a nest box in Israel, captured on a live wildlife camera. This variation is a direct result of asynchronous hatching, where eggs hatch days apart while incubation has already begun. The oldest chick gains a head start in growth, leading to noticeable size and strength differences within the brood.
What does this mean? (Quick science note)
Asynchronous hatching is an adaptive strategy in barn owls. It ensures that at least some chicks survive during periods of limited food availability, while still allowing larger broods when prey is abundant.
This video is meant to document the lives of wild animals so that we can learn more for both educational & research purposes and serve as an aid for the species conservation effort. We do not set up, stage, or intervene but only document the lives of wild animals.
