Description
The Mindanao hawk-owl is an earless species. The males and females look much alike. It is one of the smallest in the Philippine hawk-owl complex.
Ecology
The Mindanao hawk-owl can be found in forest areas up to an altitude of 1800 metres, although they mostly reside in areas below 1000 metres above sea level. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. This species mates around February. The nests can be found in hollow trees.
gollark: It's hard to make things which are good at *both* of those, and you would deal with twice the heat in one place.
gollark: CPUs have to execute x86 (or ARM or other things, but generally a documented, known instruction set) very fast sequentially, GPUs can execute basically whatever they want as long as it can be generated from one of the standard ways to interface with them, and do it in a massively parallel way.
gollark: It's not very efficient to have one thing do both because being specialized means they can make specific optimizations.
gollark: But they're not as good because thermal constraints and no ability to swap the bits separately.
gollark: I mean, you have CPUs with built-in integrated graphics.
