An owl is any one of some 200+ species of solitary, mostly nocturnal predatory birds. They are classified as order Strigiformes. Owls mostly hunt small mammals, insects, and other birds, though a few species specialize in hunting fish. They are cosmopolitan, being found on all landmasses except for Antarctica, much of Greenland, and some remote islands.
