Acerca de
El búho chico (unos 260 g) tiene prominentes penachos auriculares que le confieren una expresión característica, aunque en realidad son plumas decorativas y no oídos. Habita bosques y arboledas en toda Europa, Asia y Norteamérica. A diferencia del búho campestre, caza principalmente de noche y prefiere áreas con cubierta arbórea. En invierno puede congregarse en dormideros comunales de docenas de individuos. Se alimenta principalmente de roedores.
