More than 100 species of owls occupy a variety of habitats around the world.A few oceanic islands and the Antarctic have no owls.The world's owls come in large, medium, small, smaller, and smallest.For example, the Eurasian eagle owl—one of the largest—has a body that is two to three feet long, with a wingspan (翼展) of up to five and one­half feet.The North American elf owl (the world's smallest owl) is five to six inches long and has a wingspan that measures slightly more than one foot.

　　Baby owls, called chicks, stay with their parents until they are about three months old.They soon find their own hunting areas, where they may stay for the rest of their lives.Some owls can live 20 years or more.
