Why it matters
The elf owl, *Micrathene whitneyi*, is the smallest owl in the world, often weighing no more than a few ounces. Prized by naturalists for its diminutive stature, this species is uniquely adapted to desert life and famously makes its home within the abandoned nesting cavities of woodpeckers inside giant saguaro cacti.
