@birds.wildlife.nature: Its head spins 360°, its cry sounds like a scream... Nature's very own 'horror movie protagonist' has arrived! This raptor specializes in horror film sound effects—the undisputed King of the Night! The Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo) is one of the largest and most powerful owl species in the world. With striking orange eyes, prominent ear tufts, and a wingspan reaching up to 6.5 feet (2 meters), this nocturnal predator dominates forests, mountains, and rocky landscapes across Europe and Asia. Known for its deep, resonant "hoo-hoo" calls, it hunts silently at night, preying on rabbits, rodents, birds, and even foxes. Its exceptional night vision and stealth make it a formidable apex predator. Often associated with mystery and folklore, the Eurasian Eagle-Owl symbolizes wisdom and darkness in many cultures. Despite its intimidating presence, habitat loss threatens some populations, making conservation efforts crucial. 🦉 Key Traits: Size: Up to 30 in (75 cm) long Habitat: Cliffs, forests, open woodlands Diet: Carnivorous (small mammals, birds, reptiles) Lifespan: 20+ years in the wild Status: Least Concern (but declining in some regions) A true king of the night! 🌙 #eurasianeagleowl #owl #birds #DidYouKnow
