Black-and-white Owl
Mostly eats larger insects, but also
small mammals, birds, and tree
frogs...not afraid of living near humans.

Strix in Latin is an owl;
nigrolineata in Latin
means black lines.
Of owls, there are two hundred kinds
We’ve been around since ancient times
From small to large, with raptor claws
I think I came from dinosaurs.
