Long-eared owl. Historical artwork of a long-eared owl (Asio otus). This owl inhabits woodland near open country throughout the northern hemisphere. It feeds on rodents and smaller birds. It is mainly nocturnal,and relies on stealth and speed to catch its prey,which it locates largely by sound. Its colouration allows it to camouflage itself amongst tree branches. It has a wingspan of up to a metre. This artwork was drawn by Archibald Thorburn (1860-1935) | |
