The Safari Ltd. Long-Eared Owl showcases the owl's distinctive features, including its slender body, mottled grey and buff plumage, and the prominent feather tufts that give the species its name. The figure's posture, with wings folded and talons gripping a textured, log shaped base, reflects the owl's typical roosting stance, often observed in dense foliage during daylight hours.
The detailing extends to the facial disc, a characteristic feature of owls that aids in sound localization, and the piercing orange eyes that convey the bird's keen nocturnal vision.
The coloring is spot on and the yellow around the eyes really pops and adds life to this figure.
