The Far Eastern fish owl Bubo blakistoni is a large bird with a wingspan of almost 2 meters and a body length of up to 70 cm. The female fish owl is much larger than the male, its weight sometimes reaches 4 kg.

Basically, this owl feeds on salmon fish going to spawn. It also eats crayfish, muskrats, minks, amphibians. Usually an owl hunts like this: it looks for a floating fish from a rock, a steep bank or a tree hanging over the water, and then dives into the water and grabs it with its claws. But the owl never completely submerges into the water. Thus, the owl can catch fish weighing up to 1 kg. There is another way of hunting: a bird enters the water up to its belly and gropes for prey with its paws. So she gets sedentary fish, crayfish and frogs. 

Usually the owl hunts at night, but it can also hunt during the day (except in summer, in summer - only at dusk and at night). In the winter, more hungry period, the owl also attacks other birds, rodents, does not disdain carrion, drags bait from traps.

Agama-sitana Sitana ponticeriana stands out against the background of its relatives with a spectacular throat "flag" painted in three colors at once – blue, black and red, but this effect appears only during the mating period. The rest of the time, the neck bag has a matte white color.

In a calm state, the agama-sitana looks like a quite ordinary iguana, and the tricolor fold of skin under her neck swells in special cases. For example, when a lizard is scared, communicates with neighbors, or tries to impress a future partner during the mating season.

Agamas-sitans live in not too dense forests and in open spaces, most often rocky or rocky, with vegetation breaking through in some places. Their homeland is India, Sri Lanka and the eastern regions of Pakistan.

The most active time for these agile lizards is early morning, when they go hunting ants, midges, grasshoppers and other insects.
