As the name suggests, the Eurasian eagle-owl is found in much of Eurasia and is one of the largest species of owls. Females are slightly larger than males; they grow to a total length of 75 cm and can attain a wingspan of 188 cm.
Though they occupy a range of habitats, Eurasian eagle-owls usually prefer mountain regions, coniferous forests and other relatively remote places. These birds can live up to twenty years in the wild.
Eurasian eagle-owls are nocturnal. They are active at nights and spend their days resting and roosting. Though they prey on a variety of small animals, they are rarely preyed on. If they spend too much time on the ground, they will be at the risk of falling prey to animals like foxes. Their powerful feet and strong wings make them effective predators.
