    SEYCHELLES SCOPS OWL, MORNE SEYCHELLOIS, MAHé ISLAND, SEYCHELLES
    Endemic to the Seychelles this little owl is also called the Bare-legged Scops Owl because it has no feathers on its legs. It makes a strange call, a sawing noise, rather like the big wood saws used to cut logs in the old days. Millions of years of total isolation have led to the development of animals and plants which exist only on the Seychelles. It became undisturbed by human civilization in a warm and tropical environment.
