Blakiston's Fish Owl

Blakiston's Fish Owl, Japan’s largest owl, with a wingspan reaching 180 centimeters (72 inches), makes its home exclusively in the central and eastern parts of Hokkaido.
However, their number in the wild has diminished to approximately one hundred due to river-related construction, a decrease of fish for prey, and deforestation.
Blakiston’s Fish Owl is currently classified as a “Critically Endangered” species in the Red Data Book.
