| Blakiston's Fish Owl | The Blakiston's Fish Owl, Bubo blakistoni, is an owl. This species is a part of the larger grouping of owls known as typical owls, Strigidae, which contains most species of owl. The other grouping is the barn owls, Tytonidae. The Blakiston's Fish Owl and two related species were previously placed in the genus Ketupa, but DNA studies indicate that the fish owls are just specialised horned owls. (references) | ||
