Description: A common sub-Saharan, large owl. Although they catch a varied diet of insects, small mammals and arthropods, this species thrives on the rats and mice caused by human habitation. In cities such as Johannesburg and Pretoria this owl has taken up residence and become very common. They normally lay 2 to 4 eggs and fiercely protect their chicks when they hatch, chasing any intruder including humans and dogs.

Description: A captive-bred chick of about 2 weeks old from the Bateleur Raptor Rescue Centre in Johannesburg. In the wild a small owl occuring mainly in bushveld and dryer regions. Feeds mainly on small rodents. When disturbed or frightened, elongates its body, raises the ear tufts and closes the eyes till they form slits. In this way it becomes completely camoflaged as it blends with the colour of branches. They do not build their own nests but take over nests of other birds or breed in naturally occuring hollows in forks of trees. A clutch of 2 to 3 eggs are usually laid.
