The barred eagle owl, also known as the common eagle-owl (Bubo sumatranus), is a large owl species native to Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Indonesia, and surrounding regions. It is characterized by its prominent ear tufts, striking yellow eyes, and mottled brown and black plumage that provides excellent camouflage in dense forests. The Malay owl, often referring to local or regional names, may also be associated with the same species or similar owls within the Bubo genus, known for their powerful calls and nocturnal hunting habits. These owls play a vital role in their ecosystems as top predators of small mammals, insects, and birds.
