Palau owl
The Palau owl is a species of owl in the family Strigidae. Formerly united with the scops owls in Otus, it is now placed in its own genus Pyrroglaux. Palau owls are dark reddish brown with small white dots scattered across their feathers. They are endemic to the Pacific Palau Islands, where they are found in woodland and lagoon trees, ravines and mangrove swamps. Palau owls nest in hollows of trees, live in groups and are territorial.
