Imagine the terror that would grip the hearts of humans as they gazed up at the sky, beholding the majestic sight of a 500-pound owl descending upon them, its piercing gaze fixed upon its next meal. The owl’s wings would cast a shadow over the earth, and its hooting cry would strike fear into the hearts of all who heard it.

But it gets even more absurd. With their newfound size and strength, owls would also develop a taste for human technology. They would use their massive talons to rip apart buildings, crushing cars and bridges beneath their feet. They would swoop down upon cities, snatching up humans and buildings alike, and carrying them off to their nests to feast upon the steel and concrete.

And don’t even get me started on the owl’s new favorite pastime: owl-sized yoga. They would use their powerful talons to grasp the earth, and then proceed to contort themselves into impossible poses, their massive bodies bending and twisting in ways that would make even the most flexible human look like a stiff board.

In short, if owls got up to 500lbs, they would be the ultimate predators, and humans would be their playthings.

For a few months perhaps. Until humans decide "Ok, we can't have these things just roaming the countryside, snatching people at random. Jedediah, fetch the big medicine!"



"No, no, the BIG medicine!"



"There we go."

At which point those big owls will become graceful, majestic, and highly endangered animals.

Humans will always be the apex predator. Everyone else, the bigger they get, the more they better hope we can find a nature reserve big enough to safely house them so we don't have to drive them to extinction instead. Because if you're a threat or even an inconvenience to us, those are your only two options.

Owls are not generally aggressive, though they are supreme predators.

Now, chihuahuas and roosters are both enormous dicks, and would easily wipe out humanity at that size.

I voted owl.  Square cube law says a 15k lb owl would be over around 30 feet tall with a 64 foot wingspan, they adapt to pretty much any territory, and they actively hunt and kill mammals.  Wolverine is a scavenger.

Owls are very light for their size. A 15k pound owl would be fucking massive. Easily capable of killing everything else on the list.

Sacred Cow Shipyards did a video recently about the ornithopters of Dune. Those things would have wings that broke the sound barrier in order to fly like they do.

The concussion from the wings of a hummingbird that big would probably liquefy all the earth in a 10 mile radius. It would probably demand multiple train cars full of nectar to take off.

I would think any of them would be brutal to life on earth as we know it, not sure if we would survive any of them but would really depend on the population of them.  I also think if all of them increased to the 15k weight the owl would win.  Pound for pound they take out rosters now, all you did is make them both bigger.  The fact the owl has much better vison and unlikely to hear it coming if they are in attack mode.....FUBAR.

Negative - you need to account for scale in 3 dimensions, not just one.

So you need to take the cubic root of that 4285x, which comes out to about 16x.

Thus, the wingspan of the 15,000 lb owl would be 16 x 4, or approximately 64 feet. (Which is still pretty damn scary).
