Barred Eagle Owl

Barred Eagle-Owl, Bubo sumatranus, Burung Hantu Jalur

Also known as Malay eagle-owl, is a species of owl found from the southern Peninsular Malaysia down a string of several of the larger Southeast Asian islands to as far as Borneo. It typically is a resident of evergreen forests with pools or streams, but also ranges into large gardens with tall, densely foliated trees, as well as wooded groves in cultivated country, both sometimes not far from human habitations. Much like other eagle-owls, the barred eagle-owl has large, powerful feet for its size with large, heavy, slightly curved talons, indicating a diverse diet that can extend to relatively large prey given the opportunity. Known foods have included large insects, birds, small mammals especially rodents including mice and rats, and reptiles such as snakes.

Burung Hantu Jalur terdapat di Semenanjung Malaysia hingga ke Borneo. Ia selalulunya tinggal di kawasan berhutan tebal yang mempunyai tasik atau anak sungai, namun boleh juga dijumpai di kawasan kebub dan taman dengan pokok-pokok tinggi yang tebal. Ia memakan serangga besar, mamalia kecil seperti tikus dan reptilia seperti ular.
