Spotted Eagle Owl Kassandra

His story

In Tanzania, owls are believed to bring bad luck, even death, to those who see them. Therefore, it has always been tradition to kill any owl before it can bring harm to anyone. No surprise then that kids in West Kilimanjaro were throwing stones at Kassandra trying to kill her, when someone observed this, rescued and handed her over to Kili CREW.
