With wide yellow eyes and sideways-drooping ear tufts, the tawny fish owl, a nationally-protected endangered animal in China, boasts remarkable technique in fishing and catching crustaceans.
In March, within a nature reserve in Jiujiang, east China's Jiangxi Province, the tawny fish owl was observed engaged in fishing activities. With around a dozen of these owls inhabiting the reserve, it has evolved into a small community of these majestic birds, adding to the diverse wildlife thriving within the area.
The tawny fish owl primarily hunts in the late afternoon and dusk, preying on fish but also consuming rodents, insects, snakes, frogs, lizards, crabs, and other birds. While nights are vibrant and eventful for them, their days are marked by monotony, often perched motionless on trees, resembling statues amid the foliage of tall trees.
