🦉Blakiston`s Eagle Owl

Bubo blakistoni Seebohm, 1884

Le Grand-duc de Blakiston (Ketupa blakistoni, anciennement Bubo blakistoni), aussi connu en tant que Kétoupa de Blakiston, est une espèce d'oiseaux de la famille des Strigidae. C'est le deuxième plus grand rapace nocturne après le Grand-duc d'Europe. Ce hibou essentiellement piscivore se retrouve dans l'extrême nord-est de l'Asie et au Japon, où il est extrêmement rare et nécessite des mesures de conservation. Cette espèce a été décrite pour la première fois en 1884 par Henry Seebohm d'après un spécimen rapporté de Hakodate sur l'île de Hokkaidō au Japon par le naturaliste Thomas Blakiston. Le nom de l'espèce lui rend hommage.
