World second largest owl in Iran

You can observe the second largest owl in the world up close if you visit Iran's Birds Garden.

The photos show eagle-owls, an endangered species whose breeding and reproduction are crucial.

Because of this, the rare animals are in safe hands in Tehran’s Birds Garden.

Specifically known as the Eurasian eagle-owl, the animal is the second-largest owl in the world. It is a powerful predator that can take down prey much larger than itself.

The eagle-owl is found in Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. It is a nocturnal bird, meaning it is mostly active at night.

The owl is an expert hunter and will use its sharp beak to kill its prey.
