Eurasian Eagle-Owl

A magnificent and imposing large owl featuring prominent ear tufts, striking orange eyes, and heavily patterned plumage designed for ultimate camouflage and completely silent nocturnal flight.

Rich warm brown and tawny tones heavily barred and vermiculated with dark blackish-brown bands, transitioning to a clean white and mottled base.

Extremely soft, plumulaceous towards the base and velvety pennaceous towards the tip, featuring specialized velvety pile and velvety barbules that eliminate flight noise.

Incredibly soft, silent-flight velvet texture with matte finish and completely absent of any glossy sheen.

Distinctive bold dark brown barring over a warm tawny-brown background, soft velvety texture with specialized noise-dampening barbules, and a fluffy white basal region.

A wide variety of habitats ranging from coniferous forests and rocky mountain regions to open steppes, semi-deserts, and agricultural areas with rocky outcrops or cliffs.

Palearctic ecozone, widespread across Europe, Asia, and parts of the Middle East, with resident populations throughout its range.

Apex nocturnal raptor regulating populations of medium-to-large mammals and birds, serving as an important indicator of ecosystem health.

Long-eared Owl (Asio otus) and Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus), though their feathers are significantly smaller and differ in baring patterns.

The Eurasian Eagle-Owl is one of the largest living species of owls, capable of taking large prey including foxes and small ungulates, and possesses exceptionally powerful talons.

Good condition, fresh, with intact barbs and minimal signs of wear, suggesting it was naturally molted recently.
