Description
European eagle owl, Bubo bubo. This bird lives in parts of Europe, Asia and north Africa. It inhabits mainly wooded areas, steppes and deserts, preferring open country for hunting. It is the largest owl in the world, measuring nearly 70 centimetres in length. Adult birds are territorial. The young roam far during their first two years in order to find their own ranges. B. bubo takes a wide range of prey, including insects, rabbits and gamebirds. In captivity they have been known to live for up to sixty years.
