Madagascar Owl

Asio madagascariensis (Smith, A, 1834)

The Madagascar Owl (Asio madagascariensis) also known as the Madagascar Long-eared Owl, is a medium sized owl endemic to the island of Madagascar. It is sometimes considered to be conspecific with the Long-eared Owl, Asio otus. It ranges from 40–50 centimetres (16–20 in) in length, making it the largest of the country's owls; females are larger than males. Source: Wikipedia
