bufo-real

A maior espécie de coruja do mundo em altura e peso, a bufo-real (Bubo bubo) tem envergadura de até 1,9 metro e habita paisagens rochosas, bordas de florestas e penhascos da Europa à Ásia e à China. Caçadores noturnos silenciosos com garras poderosas, predam coelhos, lebres, raposas e até outros rapinantes. Seu uivo profundo e ressonante carrega a grandes distâncias. Populações relativamente estáveis, embora historicamente perseguidas.

Seu pescoço alongado, contendo as mesmas sete vértebras cervicais de todos os mamíferos, evoluiu para se alimentar de acácias nas savanas e bosques africanos. Animal social que vive em manadas soltas sem vínculos permanentes, comunica-se por infrassons e linguagem corporal. Vulnerável, com populações em declínio devido à perda de habitat e à caça ilegal.
