The Spectacled Owl’s white-rimmed facial disc and yellow eyes make it unmistakable. It lives in the dense, old-growth tropical rainforests of Mexico and Central and South America. It is a big owl, weighing as much as 2.76 pounds (1.25 kg) and while the Spectacled Owl snacks on large insects, spiders and snails, it also preys upon roosting birds, bats, small monkeys and even Three-toed Sloths more than four times it weight. http://goo.gl/UoYZ84
