Compared to the Mauritius scops owl and the Rodrigues scops owl, it was the most terrestrial species of the genus, with long legs and possibly somewhat reduced flight capability; more probably though it was simply smaller than the Mauritius bird – between that species and the one from Rodrigues in size – but had equally long legs: the only ...

Molecular studies of phylogeny indicate that hutias nest within the Neotropical spiny rats . [5] Indeed, the hutia subfamily, Capromyinae, is the sister group to Owl's spiny rat Carterodon . [ 6 ] In turn, this clade shares phylogenetic affinities with a subfamily of spiny rats, the Euryzygomatomyinae .
The extinction of the Réunion kestrel, which thus seems to have been around 1700, is something of a mystery, just as that of the Réunion scops owl (Otus grucheti).
