Siberian Elf Owl

The Siberian Elf Owl is a small, agile bird native to Siberia, known for its striking appearance and keen hunting skills. It typically measures around 15-20 centimeters in length, featuring soft, tawny feathers that provide effective camouflage in its forest habitat. Primarily nocturnal, it hunts insects and small rodents using excellent vision and hearing. Despite its small size, the Siberian Elf Owl is a resilient predator adapted to cold environments, often roosting in tree cavities during the day. Its behavior and physiology help it survive the harsh Siberian winters while maintaining efficient night-time hunting efficiency.
