Eury

Eury is a genus of medium-sized to large birds of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes eagles, hawks, and kites. The genus includes two species: the Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) and the snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus). Eury is a monotypic genus, meaning it contains only one species, the Eurasian eagle-owl. The snowy owl is sometimes placed in the genus Nyctea, but recent genetic studies suggest it is more closely related to the Eurasian eagle-owl.

Eury is characterized by its large size, powerful talons, and distinctive facial disc. The Eurasian eagle-owl is known for its distinctive ear tufts, which are used to locate prey in the dark. The snowy owl is known for its white plumage and yellow eyes, which help it blend in with the snowy landscapes of its habitat.

Eury is found in a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, and tundra. They are nocturnal hunters, feeding on small mammals, birds, and reptiles. They are known for their powerful talons and sharp beak, which they use to tear apart their prey.

Eury is a protected species in many countries due to habitat loss and other threats. Conservation efforts are focused on protecting their habitats and reducing human-wildlife conflict.
