Its range extends from Senegal to South Africa, mainly inhabiting open forests, savannas, rocky areas, and plantations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Distribution and habitat<\/strong><br>This owl is characteristic of regions with tree vegetation and open spaces where it can easily hunt. It prefers areas with abundant tree or rock cavities for nesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Description and behavior<\/strong><br>The African wood owl measures between 30 and 36 centimeters and weighs between 240 and 350 grams. Its plumage is dark brown with light streaks, it has bright yellow eyes, and a rounded head without tufts. It is mostly nocturnal, although it can be active at dawn and dusk. They form stable pairs and usually nest between July and October, laying 1 to 3 eggs that are incubated for about 31 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Diet<\/strong><br>It is a versatile predator that feeds on insects, small mammals, reptiles, and birds. Its varied diet allows it to play a key role in controlling prey populations and maintaining the ecological balance of its environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conservation<\/strong><br>Currently, the African wood owl is classified as \u201cLeast Concern\u201d by the IUCN. However, habitat loss and human persecution represent potential threats in some regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2363,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"grupo-animal":[47],"class_list":["post-3188","animal","type-animal","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","grupo-animal-birds"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>African wood owl - Natura Parc Mallorca<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/naturaparc.net\/animal\/carabo-africano\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"African wood owl - Natura Parc Mallorca\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"(Strix woodfordii): an emblematic African owl The African wood owl, also known as the spotted owl, is a medium-sized nocturnal bird of prey native to sub-Saharan Africa.
