Fish Owls
The Fish Owls so-called constitute quite a distinct group (Ke-tupina), distinguished by the fact that the tarsus is generally naked and granular and the soles of the feet covered with prickly scales, much as in the Ospreys.
They are comprised in two genera, one of which (Ketupa) is confined to the Oriental region, from Palestine to the Indian peninsula, Malayan peninsula, and China, and is provided with large ear-tufts, while the other (Scotopelia) is exclusively African and is marked by the absence of ear-tufts.
