About These Birds
Arabian Eagle-owl
The Arabian Eagle-owl is a large owl endemic to the Arabian Peninsula, placed in the Strigidae family alongside other eagle-owls. It inhabits rocky desert terrain, wadis, and escarpments where it hunts mammals and birds under cover of darkness. This species is distinguished from related eagle-owls by its adaptation to the harsh arid landscapes of the region.
