the eurasian scops-owl is found throughout southern europe and asia, with a wintering range in part of africa. the owl has several possible colors, in varying shades of grey and brown. they also feature small earlike tufts on the top of their head, though their real ears are on the sides of their head. their call is similar to that of a toad that shares their range, the midwife toad. though they are nocturnal like other owls, unlike most other species a large portion of their diet comes from insects.
