e duet that echoes through the night forest. The mating season begins in February-March, when there is still snow. Eagle owls do not build their own nests - they look for hollows in old trees with a diameter of at least a meter! A prerequisite: there must be an ice-free river nearby. The female lays 2-3 eggs. The chicks leave the nest after 35-50 days, but the parents feed them until the next winter. Puberty occurs only in the third year of life. There are only about 4,000 eagle owls left in the world. The species is listed in the International Red Book. It lives in the Russian Far East, Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands and the Japanese island of Hokkaido. Life expectancy in nature is about 20 years. In captivity they can live more than 40 years. The fish eagle owl demonstrates unique evolutionary capabilities: the owl turned into a fisherman, lost its silent flight, grew spikes on its paws and learned to roam the water. This is a living monument of nature. A symbol of the wild taiga, which we can still preserve. 🏀 Hit the hoop and get an NFT gift — https://t.me/BasketbolX_bot
