Verreaux’s (Giant) Eagle Owl
Bubo lacteus (Verreaux's eagle-owl, Giant eagle owl)
The Verreaux's eagle-owl occurs across sub-Saharan Africa, mainly occupying arid savanna and forest. It mainly eats mammals and birds, including large species such as the Pel's fishing owl. It is an extremely agile hunter for its size, and can actually catch smaller birds in flight! It uses stick nests constructed by other birds, such as weavers, crows and raptors. Here it lays 2 eggs, which are incubated solely by the female, for about 38-39 days, who is fed at night by the male. Of the two chicks only one survives, the other obtains less food from its parents, and usually dies of starvation after 2-3 weeks. The surviving chick stays in the nest for about 2 months, after which he remains dependent on his parents for 1-2 more years.
