A new species of owl has been discovered in the rainforests of a tropical island off the coast of Africa.
The bird, called the Principe Scops-Owl, was found on Príncipe, which lies off the west coast of Africa in the Gulf of Guinea.
Scientists first found it in 2016, although suspicions of its occurrence gained traction back in 1998, and testimonies from local people suggesting it exists could be traced back as far as 1928.
