关于

The Arabian Scops-owl is a small nocturnal owl from the Arabian Peninsula, weighing about 66.5 grams with a wingspan near 25 cm. It inhabits rocky wadis, date palm groves, and dry woodland, where it hunts insects and small vertebrates at night. Its cryptic streaked plumage makes it nearly invisible when roosting against tree bark or rocky surfaces during the day.
