Barred Owl | |
| Cat Given Name: | Owl | |
| Common Name(s): | Long-eared Owl, Barn Owl, Great Horned Owl, Barred Owl, Snowy Owl, Great Gray Owl, Short-eared Owl | |
| Other Name(s): | ||
| Scientific Name(s): | Asio otus, Tyto Alba, Bubo virginianus, Strix varia, Bubo scandiacus, Strix nebulosa, Asio flammeus | |
| Physical Description: | A large sized owl with a grey-brown backside and white underside that has dark barring on it. Females are larger than males. | |
| Physical Statistics: | Size: 43-50 cm (17-20 in); Wingspan: 99-110 cm (39-43 in); Weight: 470-1050 g (16.59-37.07 ounces) | |
| Behavior: | As most owls are, Barred Owls are nighttime hunters. Their preferred habitat is forest and their preferred prey are mammals and birds although some have the taste for crayfish. | |
| Social Organization: | Solitary unless a breeding pair with chicks. | |
| Danger Level: | Medium (Kits, apprentices and elders are vulnerable); Being of a large size, any cat the barred owl finds to be weak is an ideal peice of prey. In extream cases a warrior might be attacked. | |
| Approval Level*: | Moderator; Being territorial, such an owl would potentially be hunting the area repeatedly (though individuals "passing through" are possible). | |
| *Some creatures require approval to appear in RP. This is to make sure the Admins and Mods who need to know are fully aware of a beast currently active in their area. These ratings are mainly for those creatures that cats cannot simply drive off. | ||
