Burung hantu (Owls)
Ural Owl
Strix uralensis
- umum
- 28 km/h
- Pemula
- Risiko rendah
Defends its nest by attacking humans. Photographers wear hard hats — and so should you.
- Populasi
- approximately 640,000-1,052,000 mature individuals (global)
- Habitat
- Found in mature taiga, mixed coniferous, and temperate deciduous forest, typically with clearings/meadows for hunting and snags/stumps for perching and nesting; generally avoids heavily fragmented woodland.
- Fakta menarik
- Despite being an owl, the Ural Owl is often active by day as well as night (cathemeral/crepuscular rather than strictly nocturnal), and it is notorious among field researchers for extremely aggressive nest defense - the Swedish name Slaguggla ("attacking owl") reflects females striking intruders from behind with claws at speeds up to ~40 km/h, hard enough to draw blood.
- Sebaran
- Eurosiberian Palearctic, from Scandinavia, central Europe (incl. the Carpathians) and northern Italy across Russia to Sakhalin and Japan
- Makanan
- Feeds on small mammals (chiefly voles, field mice, and other rodents, ~50-95% of diet across >200 documented prey species), supplemented regionally by hares, birds (up to ~40% by mass in low-rodent years), and invertebrates.
