About These Birds
Eurasian Eagle-Owl
The Eurasian eagle-owl is one of the largest owl species in the world, with females sometimes reaching a wingspan of nearly two meters. Its deep booming call can be heard up to four kilometers away on calm nights. These apex predators sit at the top of the avian food chain, preying on other raptors including buzzards and smaller owls.
Annobon Scops-owl
The Annobon Scops-owl is a critically endangered small owl endemic to Annobón Island, with a wingspan of about 26 cm and weighing around 67 grams. As one of the rarest owls in Africa, it faces severe threats from its extremely restricted island range. Its nocturnal habits and small population make conservation efforts especially urgent.
