• A rare owl not much bigger than a human fist was spotted for the first time in the wild in the Peruvian jungle last week (March 20, 2007). The bird with long, wispy feathers around its eyes was first discovered in 1976. Ornithologists believe only between 250 and 1,000 of the tiny animals, which occupy their own genus "Xenoglaux”, exist on the planet.
