Brown Fish Owl (Ketupa zeylonensis) #39905
Owned by PixelGalaxyArt
Description
Appearance: This is a large owl characterized by its prominent ear tufts, bright yellow eyes, and mottled brown and buff plumage. Unlike many other owls, its legs are unfeathered, which is an adaptation for its semi-aquatic lifestyle.
Habitat: As their name suggests, they are closely associated with water. You will typically find them in forests near rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs across South and Southeast Asia, including Sri Lanka.
Diet: They are specialized predators that primarily hunt fish, but they also eat crabs, frogs, small reptiles, and occasionally small mammals or birds.
Behavior: They are nocturnal, though they are sometimes active during twilight hours. They are powerful hunters and can often be seen perched on overhanging branches near water bodies, waiting to spot prey.
Conservation: In Sri Lanka, they are relatively widespread and can be seen in various wooded areas near water, including areas close to human settlements.
