The Rufous Owl (rufous means reddish brown) is a pretty rare owl that lives mainly in rainforests of North Australia and New Guinea.

It is very shy and not seen very often. It is a strong owl for its size, taking prey from insects all the way to flying foxes.

    If you haven’t already, check out the Owl-natomy posts! They are a great way to learn a lot about the general anatomy of owls; I at least learned a lot from those posts.
