Wildlife to Witness: Philippine Grass Owl

The Eastern Grass Owl (Tyto longimembris), or Australian Grass Owl is a species of owl in the Tytonidae family. It is found in Australia, Bangladesh, China, Fiji, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Myanmar, Nepal, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

Though some authorities consider this owl to be conspecific with the African Grass Owl, T. capensis, other consider it to be a valid species.

They feed predominantly on small rodents.
