Description
Short-eared Owls are a globally distributed species that inhabit a variety of habitat types across five continents and many island chains. Pueo are the subspecies of Short-eared Owl native to the Hawaiian islands, and as one of the only native terrestrial predators in Hawai‘i, Pueo play an important ecological role in the islands. Through adapting to the unique ecosystem of Hawai‘i, Pueo appear to have evolved some notable differences between them and their continental cousins. In addition to their ecological importance, Pueo hold cultural significance to native Hawaiians and appear frequently in mo‘olelo. As the landscapes of Hawai‘i undergo rapid development and change, Pueo face new challenges to overcome.
