The Madeiran scops owl (Otus mauli ) is a small extinct owl that once inhabited the island of Madeira in the Macaronesian archipelago off the north-west coast of Africa in the North Atlantic Ocean.
The owl was similar in size to the Eurasian scops owl, though the leg bones were longer. Estimates of its body weight and wing loading suggest that it was largely ground-dwelling.
The extinct São Miguel scops owl was similar but differs from the Madeiran species by the smaller size of many of its bones, especially the ulna and tibiotarsus.
