Blakiston's fish owl is a large species of owl native to the forests and rivers of eastern Asia, particularly in Russia, Japan, and China. It is known for its impressive wingspan, which can reach up to 2 meters, making it one of the largest owls in the world. This owl primarily feeds on fish, using its keen eyesight and strong talons to catch prey in water. The habitat of Blakiston's fish owl includes riparian forests and wetlands, where it can find abundant food sources. It is a nocturnal bird, often hunting at night. Due to habitat loss and declining fish populations, this species is considered vulnerable, and conservation efforts are underway to protect its natural environment.
