The Eurasian eagle-owl's range in Russia is truly massive, with the species apparently nearly unbound by habitat, with their distribution only excluding them from the true Arctic zone, i.e. their range stops around the tree line. If not the most densely populated species, they almost certainly stand as Russia's most widely distributed owl species.
The avifauna of the Rodopi Mountain Range National Park consists of 139 species, many of which are predatory. Some of them are the golden eagle, the peregrine falcon, the Eurasian eagle-owl and the Egyptian vulture, which is listed as endangered in the IUCN Red List.

The highest peaks are Wielka Sowa ("Great Owl", at 1,014 m (3,327 ft) in altitude) and Kalenica (964 m (3,163 ft)) with their observation towers. Other peaks reach ...
In the Sikhote-Alin range of the Russian Far East, bats were found to comprise 5.9% of the remains and, of five local owl species, the Eurasian eagle-owl was the most regular predator of bats in the area.

This owl does not have ear tufts and has the largest facial disc of any raptor. There is a white collar or "bow-tie" just below the beak. The long tail tapers to a rounded end. In terms of length, the great grey owl is believed to exceed the Eurasian eagle-owl and the Blakiston's fish owl as the world's largest owl.
A Eurasian eagle owl at the Minnesota Zoo escaped its handler, only to land in a tiger enclosure, where it was killed, according to a government report and the zoo.
Genetic testing indicates that the lesser horned owl, and then the snowy owl, not the Eurasian eagle-owl, are the most closely related living species.
