Considered one of the two largest species of owl in the world, the Eagle Owl is quite large and very powerful. Only slightly smaller than the Golden Eagle, it has an impressive wingspan that can reach up to six and a half feet. Their body length can range from 22 up to 30 inches, and as with other birds of prey, the female is larger than the male by about one-third. While males can weigh up to six pounds, a large female can reach nine pounds.
