It seems that now in each title you have to write “Eagle-owl / little owl / scops owl etc. is a type of owl”, because of outraged statements and angry questions like “is it an owl or an eagle-owl?!”, “this is an eagle owl, not an owl, the name is incorrect !!! 11" The number of people who say this amazes me.
And Gnus is just Gnus.

Note:
1: This confusion stems from how animals are named in Russian. In English, all owl species are named "something-owl" so English speakers don't get confused, but in Russian each owl species has a unique name. For example, eagle-owl is called "filin", and scops owl is "splyushka", while an owl is "sova".
2. To people who think throwing a bird is animal abuse: Remember that an owl can injure a person easily if it wants to, and there is no way a bird would come back to get thrown again if it doesn't like it. Every animal prefers different things.
