The Eurasian Owl, also known as the Bubo bubo, is one of the largest owl species in the world. It is characterized by its striking appearance, featuring prominent ear tufts, bright orange eyes, and a mottled brown and cream plumage that provides excellent camouflage in its natural habitat. This owl is primarily found across Europe, Asia, and parts of North Africa, inhabiting forests, mountains, and open landscapes.
Eurasian Owls are nocturnal hunters, preying on a variety of animals, including small mammals, birds, and even reptiles. They are known for their powerful talons and exceptional hearing, which help them locate prey in the dark. These owls are also territorial and can be heard hooting during the night, marking their presence in the wild.
