Bird Park sees successful hatching of Eurasian Eagle Owl

SINGAPORE: The Jurong Bird Park has welcomed a successful hatching of the Eurasian Eagle Owl, one of the largest owls in the world.

The chick, which was hatched two months ago weighing 54 grammes, now weighs over one kilogramme.

The typical height of an adult Eurasian Eagle Owl is between 58 and 71 centimetres.

They are usually found in Europe and Asia.

The owls are sexually monomorphic, which means the male and female species look alike, although the females are larger in size.
