With its large orange eyes and upright tufts, the eagle owl is one of the most recognizable nocturnal birds of prey. Found in Europe, Asia, and even North Africa, it adapts to diverse environments such as forests, mountains, and steep cliffs.
A formidable predator, it hunts mainly at nightfall and feeds on rodents, rabbits, and sometimes even other birds. Surprisingly, its wingspan can exceed 1.80 meters, making it one of the largest owls in the world. Its flight is completely silent, thanks to the particular structure of its feathers, which allows it to surprise its prey. Its deep, powerful song resonates for several kilometers, marking its territory.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the eagle owl: detailed plumage, large expressive eyes and vigilant posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent mysterious stories or to introduce children to the discovery of nocturnal birds of prey.
