This is a rare image of a juvenile striped owl in Ecuador. It is believed this young owl can grow up to 16 inches and weigh 20 pounds, but there’s a good chance we’ll never know.
These nocturnal animals rarely come out during the day and scientists know very little about them. It is believed to live along most of the Amazon rainforest and has stable population numbers. Coming up, the only monkey that eats mushrooms by choice!
