About this deal
The smallest owl—weighing as little as 1 + 3⁄ 32oz) and measuring some 13.5cm ( 5 + 1⁄ 4in)—is the elf owl ( Micrathene whitneyi). [6] Around the same diminutive length, although slightly heavier, are the lesser known long-whiskered owlet ( Xenoglaux loweryi) and Tamaulipas pygmy owl ( Glaucidium sanchezi). [6] The largest owls are two similarly sized eagle owls; the Eurasian eagle-owl ( Bubo bubo) and Blakiston's fish owl ( Bubo blakistoni). The largest females of these species are 71cm (28in) long, have a 190cm (75in) wing span, and weigh 4.2kg ( 9 + 1⁄ 4lb). [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

In many species, female owls may not leave the nest. Therefore, females may have a larger mass to allow them to go for a longer period of time without starving. For example, one hypothesized sexual role is that larger females are more capable of dismembering prey and feeding it to their young, hence female owls are larger than their male counterparts.
