The Indian eagle-owl (Bubo bengalensis), also called the rock eagle-owl or Bengal eagle-owl, is a large horned owl species native to hilly and rocky scrub forests in the Indian Subcontinent. It is splashed with brown and grey, and has a white throat patch with black small stripes. Bubo bengalensis was earlier treated as a subspecies of the Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo). The Indian eagle-owls are usually seen in pairs. It has a deep resonant booming call that may be heard at dawn and dusk.
