Short Description:

Rock/Bengal Eagle-Owl is a large and powerful owl with prominent ear tufts. It has a distinctive facial disk with striking orange-yellow eyes, surrounded by dark feathers. Its upperparts are mottled brown with gray and buff markings, while its underparts are paler with dark streaks. It possesses strong talons and a hooked beak, perfect for capturing prey.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

Rock/Bengal Eagle-Owl is found in various regions, including the rocky landscapes of Balochistan, the foothills of the Himalayas in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and the forests of Azad Kashmir. It prefers habitats with rocky outcrops, cliffs, and dense vegetation, providing suitable roosting and nesting sites.

Rock/Bengal Eagle-Owls are primarily nocturnal hunters, preying on a variety of small mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects. They are solitary birds, often roosting during the day in concealed locations such as caves, crevices, or dense foliage. Their excellent camouflage and nocturnal habits make them elusive and rarely seen during daylight hours.
