Brown Hawk Owl by ysbae491

Urotriorchis macrourus, Long-tailed Hawk. An aptly named hawk of tropical rainforests in western and central Africa. It primarily eats squirrels, especially scaly-tailed squirrels and small birds. It kills prey by breaking the neck. It has also been known to attack hammer-headed fruit bats. Its strong legs and feet suggest its main prey are mammals. Gives a loud scream, one second long, that falls in pitch toward the end, often followed by a second, louder scream.
