The rarest type of owl on earth is the Forest Owlet (Heteroglaux blewitti), native to India. It was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered in 1997. There are estimated to be less than 250 individuals left in the wild.
Man came to it's habitat and brought ship rats and dogs, and they ate the Laughing Owl's eggs and hunted the owls. Slowly they died out. The last Laughing Owl died in 1914. However, over the years, there have been unconfirmed reports of this owl.
