Abstract

This study aimed to estimate the home range of Eurasian Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo) from May to November 2012. Bubo bubo were rescued by Chungnam Wild Animal Rescue Center. WT-100 weigh 83g. Analysis of home ranges used a SHP File and ArcGIS 9.0 for GIS, and used a Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) and Minimum Convex Polygon (MCP) for analysis. Home range were $39.1km^2$ (MCP) and $27.8km^2$ (KDE 95%), $20.9km^2$ (KDE 90%), $4.2km^2$ (KDE 50%). Home range of Bubo bubo showed very similar results to the previous study. That is result of opportunistic foraging tactics to selecting prey.
