Answer 1

The Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus) is in family Strigidae. Owls are classified into two general groups: the typical owls of family Strigidae and the barn owls of family Tytonidae. Asio flammeus is a species of typical owl. Owls belonging to genus Asio are known as the eared owls, which are characterized for tufts of feathers resembling that of mammalian ears. These "ear" tufts may or may not be visible. Asio flammeus will display its tufts when in a defensive pose. However, its very short tufts are usually not visible. The Short-eared Owl is an owl of the open-country and grasslands.

Interesting fact: People on Yahoo! Answers seem particularly averse to doing research on Short-eared Owls.

The "Ears" on a Short eared owl are merely feather tufts and lie flat normally. When surprised/ threatened they raise them to scare the intuder off.

i'm not constructive what's going to be incorrect with him, yet sure he will be a puppy. I stay very close to to a nationwide park, there are not that many human beings living out right here, and many human beings drop their undesirable pets off alongside our little stretch of street. between the accepted, canine and cats, we've observed a ferret (would were a mink, lol) and that i have even had to take a falcon to the woodland rangers/recreation warden. He replaced into only sitting in a small field close by, i concept he will be damage, so a cousin and myself went to look into. He enable us %. him up, ate strips of jerky from our fingers, or maybe enable me look him over for injuries (which he had none). He went to a flora and fauna rehabilitator, and with somewhat of tremendous fortune is harrassing a number of those annoying gackle birds. i honestly have self assurance that he replaced right into a 'puppy' of a neighbor of mine, specifically, because he replaced into observed utilizing round with a fledgling/chick about 3 or 4 months earlier the fowl grew to develop into up in my field. for sure, we informed the game warden our suspicions, yet this neighbor of mine could kill someone and damage out with it scott loose.
