Description: Greater Sooty Owl (Tyto tenebricosa) preens before total darkness in the rainforest. Fine white spots cover the crown, nape and down the breast. A powerful hunter, the Sooty Owl is a predator which preys on almost all tree and surface-dwelling small mammals. Tree-dwelling species such as gliders and Ring-tailed possums comprise a large part of the Sooty Owl diet.
