Great Gray Owl: The World’s Largest Owl by Length
📑 Article Contents
The Great Gray Owl (Strix nebulosa) is the longest owl in the world, a phantom of the northern boreal forest.
Identification
Despite its length, it is relatively light. Its large rounded head, concentric facial disks, and yellow eyes give it a wise expression. No ear tufts.
Hunting
It listens for voles moving under deep snow, then plunges feet-first to catch them. Its hearing is among the most acute of any animal.
Habitat
Boreal forests of the north, from Scandinavia to North America. More owl profiles in the Owls hub.
