A large owl found near water bodies in forests and grasslands. They have brown plumage with striking yellow eyes. Fish owls feed mainly on fish, amphibians, and small mammals. They help control prey populations and maintain the balance of aquatic ecosystems. Brown Fish Owls are known for their silent flight and nocturnal hunting behavior. They build nests in tree cavities or on cliffs, where they raise their young. Conservation efforts focus on protecting their forest and wetland habitats from degradation and human disturbance.
