The owl is a bird classified under the order Strigiformes and the family Strigidae, widely distributed in the northern part of the Eurasian continent. In Japan it can be found in Kyushu, Shikoku, Honshu and Hokkaido, typically in lowland forests and satoyama (traditional rural landscapes). This specimen was stored at the former Fourth High School and is believed to have been used as teaching material in biology classes at that time.
