Ninox:

Ninox is a genus of true owls comprising about 30 species found in Asia and Australasia. Many species are known as hawk owls or boobooks. Note that the northern hawk-owl Surnia ulula is not a member of this genus. Molecular analysis indicates the genus is an early offshoot from the ancestors of the rest of the true owls, and are maybe best-classified in a subfamily Ninoxinae with the genera Sceloglaux and Uroglaux.[1]

The species of Ninox are:

The fossil owls "Otus" wintershofensis and "Strix" brevis, both from the Early or Middle Miocene of Wintershof West, Germany, are close to this genus; the latter was sometimes explicitly placed in Ninox (Olson 1985) but is now in Intutula. "Strix" edwardsi from the Late Miocene of La Grive St. Alban, France, might also belong into this group[citation needed].

In Human Culture[edit]

  • "NINOX" is an Australian Army project to develop night vision goggles; it is named after Ninox strenua.

Philippine hawk-owl:

The Philippine hawk-owl (Ninox sp.) is a complex of owls in the Strigidae family. They are all endemic to the Philippines.



Description[edit]

The Philippine hawk-owls are earless. The males and females look much alike. They differ in size and pattern on the bottom side. N. reyi and N. spilonota are the biggest and N. philippensis, N. spilocephala and N. mindorensis the smallest. The pattern on the bottom side of N. reyi, N. p. spilonota and N. mindorensis is checked. The pattern on all the other species are striped.

Species range in size (including the tail) to a length of 21.0 to 26.5 cm and have a wingspan of 16.5 to 20.5 cm.

All are species splits from what was once recognized as a single species, N. philippensis, known together as the Philippine hawk-owl. Two of the owls have been recognized in 2012 as distinct species based on vocal and other differences. They were also previously characterized as subspecies.[1]

Systematics and taxonomy[edit]

There are seven known species:

Locally,[where?] this bird is known as kuwago, like other large owls.

Ecology[edit]

The Philippine hawk-owl species can be found in forest areas up to 1800 metres, although they mostly reside in areas less than 1000 metres above sea level. Natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. All of the species mate around February. The nests can be found in hollow trees.

Moluccan boobook:

The Moluccan boobook or Moluccan hawk-owl group (Ninox sp.), are a group of owls in the Strigidae family. They are found in Indonesia. The three species formerly were considered conspecific. Natural habitat for all species is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
