The eagle owl is one of the largest owls in the world. It has large ear tufts of feathers, bright orange eyes, and a powerful body.
The eagle owl differs from other owls in its large size, orange eyes, and long ear tufts. It is important for nature because it hunts rodents and maintains balance in forests and mountains.
