The Rufous Owl
The Rufous Owl (Ninox rufa) is as discreet as it is formidable. It can snatch a sleeping Brush Turkey off its roost and has also been known to take Scrubfowl, Papuan Frogmouths, Kookaburras, White Cockatoos, Flying Foxes, Gliders, Possums and a variety of insects and spiders.
Their nocturnal vision is legendary, with huge eyes that absorb as much as a hundred times more light than human eyes. Their forward-facing eyes cannot be rotated in their sockets, so they always look straight ahead.
