ʻO ka Great Owl Owl kahi lālā kupaianaha loa o ka ʻohana pueo. I ka nui, hiki ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia kēia manu me kahi moa.
Helehelena
Ana ke kino i ka 60 a i ka 85 mau kenimika ka lōʻihi a he 1.5 mau mika ka eheu o kona kino. ʻO ke kaumaha o kēia mau lunamakaʻāinana hiki i 1.2 kilokilo. Hoʻomaopopo ʻia ka pāhaʻi maka a me nā kala hina hina me ka nui o nā pōʻai concentric pouli. Ma ke poʻo he mau maka melemele liʻiliʻi me nā eyelids ʻeleʻele. ʻO nā hulu keʻokeʻo kokoke i nā maka ke ʻano keʻa. He melemele ke kumu o ka nuku me ka hinahina, a melemele ka nuku iho. Aia kahi kiko ʻeleʻele ma lalo o ka nuku. ʻO ka waihoʻoluʻu nui o ka Great Owl hina he hina me nā kaha ʻeleʻele liʻiliʻi. ʻO ka hapa haʻahaʻa o ke kino he hina hina me nā kaha. Hinahina ka plumage ma nā wāwae a me nā manamana wāwae. ʻO ka huelo lōʻihi o kahi pueo ke kala ʻia me nā kahakaha transverse nui i pau i kahi ʻāpana pouli nui. Aia ka dimorphism moekolohe i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahine a ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o nā kāne.
Kahi noho
Ua pālahalaha aku ka nohona o ka Great Owl Nui i Kanada a me ʻĀlapa. Aia ka hapa nui o nā lehulehu i ka ʻākau o ʻEulopa a me ke kikowaena o ka ʻaoʻao ʻEulopa o Lūkia. Loaʻa kekahi mau lunamakaʻāinana ma Siberia a me Sakhalin.
Koho ka pueo i nā ulu lāʻau coniferous a spruce ma ke ʻano he wahi noho, a hiki ke noho i nā ululāʻau taiga a me nā mauna. ʻO ke koho ʻana o ka nohona ma muli o ka loaʻa o ka meaʻai lawa.
ʻAiʻai Pono
ʻO ka papaʻai nui o ka pueo tawny me nā rodent murine, shrews a me nā mammal liʻiliʻi. I kekahi manawa hiki ke alualu ʻia nā squirrels, nā manu liʻiliʻi, nā bea, nā rana a me kekahi mau mea kolo nui e like me ka nui o nā mea pio. Hiki i kahi pueo ke nānā i ka mea pio mai ka perch a i ka wā o ka lele lohi, ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ma mua o 5 mika ma luna o ka honua. ʻAi nui ia i nā wahi ākea. I ka wā o ka pūnana, makemake ʻo Great Grey Owls e ʻimi holoholona i nā hola o ke ao ma nā kihi o ka ululāʻau a me nā mālamalama. Hana ʻia kahi predator maikaʻi loa no kēia pueo e kahi lohe pepeiao hoʻomohala ʻia a me kahi iwi kuamoʻo o ka helehelena, e ʻae ai iā ʻoe e lohe i nā nīwīwī ʻike ʻia o kahi mea hiki ke hōʻeha ʻia. Ua hopu ʻo ia i kāna mea pio me nā māiʻu ʻoi loa, ʻo ka pueo hina nui e ʻai a pau.

ʻO ka hapanui o ka Great Owl species he manu noho wale. Koho pono lākou i ko lākou wahi e noho ai a noho i loko o ia mau makahiki. Hiki i ka Great Grey Owl ke hoʻololi i kona panalāʻau no ka lawa ʻole o ka nui o nā māmela āna e ʻai ai.
ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona hiʻohiʻona o ka pueo ʻumiʻumi ko lākou leo. Kuhi nā kāne i nā kani kani humming o 8 a i ʻole 12 syllables, e like me "uu-uu-uu-uu-uu-uu-uu-uu-uu."
Hoʻopiʻi hou
ʻO ka hapa nui o ka Owl Nui he monogamous. Hele pū ka wā hānau me ka male ʻana a me ka noho aloha ʻana. Noho kēia kau mai ka hoʻoilo. Hoʻomaka ka ʻimi ʻana o nā kāne i ka meaʻai no ka wahine, nā hulu maʻemaʻe a ʻimi ikaika i nā pūnana. Koho ka nui o nā kāne i kahi noho o ka hawk kahiko ma ke ʻano he pūnana. Hoʻomoe ka wahine i 5 mau hua i ka pūnana i wae ʻia, a hoʻouluulu ʻia iā lākou no 28 mau lā. I kēia wā, loaʻa i ke kāne nā meaʻai no ʻelua. Hoʻokumu ʻia nā Chicks ma 4 mau pule, a mākaukau e lele i 8 mau pule o ke ola.
