International Owl Awareness Day celebrates the winged messenger of wisdom, the owl.
There are 236 known species of owls, falling into two families, the Tytonidae and Strigidae. Thirteen owls are currently on the critical or endangered species list, including the Pernambuco Pygmy Owl and Siau Scops Owl, both with fewer than 50 remaining.
A large owl can consume over 2,000 rodents, fish, and small animals annually, making them essential for pest control. Smaller owls keep the insect population under control, and the birds of prey live on six of seven continents.
The largest species is the Blakiston's Fish Owl, with a wingspan of 6.5 feet (1.98 meters) and weighing over eight pounds (3.6 kilograms).
The smallest owl is the Long-whiskered Owlets, with a wingspan of 4.1 -4.6 inches (10 - 11.5 centimeters) and weighing less than 2 ounces (0.06 kilograms).
