Meet our African grass owls (Tyto capensis), Dube and Ganga!
This owl species makes its unlikely home in wetland habitat. They roost on the ground in drainage lines or in areas that have not been burnt or trampled by cattle. They are found on the eastern side of South Africa in areas of higher rainfall.
Their ground-nesting habits make this species very vulnerable to habitat degradation and loss as a result of farming, burning firebreaks, and development too close to wetland areas.
They are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
