Il gufo pescatore di Blakiston, la specie di gufo vivente più grande al mondo, è un uccello raro che si trova solo nelle foreste ripariali dell'Asia nord-orientale, tra cui Giappone, Cina ed Estremo Oriente russo. Alto fino a 75 cm, con un'apertura alare di 190 cm e un peso di 4,6 kg, il gufo pescatore di Blakiston è un predatore aviario prodigioso. Tuttavia, questo affascinante uccello rischia oggi l'estinzione a causa della perdita e della frammentazione del suo habitat forestale, in particolare dei grandi alberi secolari di cui ha bisogno per nidificare. Il gufo pescatore di Blakiston è attualmente elencato come in pericolo dalla IUCN, con solo circa 1.000-1.500 individui stimati in natura.
