The Nicobar scops owl (Otus alius) is a species of owl in the family Strigidae. It is endemic to the Nicobar Islands, India, in particular Great Nicobar Island, but it may also occur on Little Nicobar Island.[1]
Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests. It has an uncertain status but is thought to be rare or endangered.[1] It was originally discovered by Pamela C. Rasmussen in 1998.[2] Very little is known about this species, but individuals have been reported to consume spiders, beetles, and geckos.[1]
