Acerca de
El cárabo común (unos 450 g) es el búho más abundante y extendido de Europa. Su silueta rechoncha, la cabeza grande y redonda sin orejas y los ojos oscuros son inconfundibles. El conocido reclamo nocturno 'uh-wuuh' que se escucha en los bosques y jardines europeos proviene del cárabo. Muy territorial, ocupa el mismo bosque durante toda su vida. Se alimenta principalmente de topillos, ratones y pájaros pequeños. Es un indicador de la salud del bosque caducifolio europeo.
