Verreauxs' Eagle Owl is one of the largest owls. Also known as the Milky Eagle Owl because its colour, and Giant Eagle Owl, because its size. It is a very large and huge, powerful owl, with ear tufts on the head.
The Other common name given is Verreauxs' Eagle Owl after a noted taxidermist, who apart from birds not also famous for doing the same to a human!!
