Short Description:

Eurasian Eagle-Owl is one of the largest owl species in the world, with a wingspan that can exceed 6 feet (almost 2 meters) and a height of up to 2 feet (60 centimeters). It has striking orange eyes set in a large, rounded face, surrounded by prominent feather tufts known as "ear tufts." Its plumage varies from mottled brown to gray, providing excellent camouflage in its natural habitat.

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

Eurasian Eagle-Owl is found in a variety of habitats, including rocky cliffs, forests, and open landscapes. It is distributed across different regions of the country, from the Himalayan foothills in the north to the arid plains of the south.

Eurasian Eagle-Owls are primarily nocturnal hunters, using their keen eyesight and acute hearing to locate prey such as rodents, birds, and even small mammals like rabbits. They are ambush predators, often perching in elevated positions and silently swooping down on unsuspecting prey. Despite their large size, they are remarkably agile flyers and skilled hunters.
