The owl
owl is an animal that belongs to the clade of the strigids. It is a bird of nocturnal and rapacious habits, which is characterized by having feathers that look like ears. This peculiarity allows differentiating owls from owls and other similar species.

This animal is worth knowing a series of signs of identity such as the following:
• Although you prefer to live in wooded areas, you can adapt to any place.
• It stands out for its speed.
• He has a great vision and a developed sense of hearing, hence he is even able to hunt at night.
• Their diet is varied, it depends on the season of the year and the enclave where life is. However, the usual thing is that it is nurtured with mice, worms, rabbits or spiders that it captures by itself.
The owl, which usually measures about forty centimeters, has bulging eyes and a curved beak. Their characteristics, however, can be quite varied, since birds belonging to different genera are known as owls.
Among them we can mention the Bubo bubo or owl, which lives in various European, African and Asian regions. Throughout history, the owl used to be found in different habitats, from forests to tundras, passing through very arid spaces. However, for various reasons, their area of influence was reduced and now they are usually confined to mountains.
The eagle owl, which can be bred for falconry, is a hunting animal that feeds on other birds (including owls) and mammals such as small foxes, hares, squirrels and rabbits.
Another genus of owl is what is known as the American eagle owl or horned owl, which lives throughout the American continent. It can weigh about a kilogram and, like the aforementioned Bubo bubo, is usually used in falconry.

It is interesting to note that there is what is known as ululophilia. This can be defined as the collection of owls and artisanal owls carried out by many people and that in recent years has been generalized for two reasons mainly: because it has a low cost, since the pieces are usually small and of little value, and because this animal is associated with magic and protection.
Specifically in these moments, in a high percentage of cultures, the owl is also identified with courage, power, intuition, wisdom, knowledge and intelligence. Specifically for these last three values, that is used as a symbol of education as a mascot in the different educational graduations that take place.
Due to the nocturnal customs of these animals, in informal language it is often said that a person is an owl when he works or develops activities at night. For example: "I've been an owl for eight months and I cover the night guards at the hospital."
