Interesting facts about OWLS:
1. An owl's eyes are fixed in bony eye sockets and they cannot turn their eyes. Instead, owls rotate their heads up to 270 degrees, but they cannot turn their heads all the way around.
2.Most owls hunt at night and in doing so avoid competition with daytime avian hunters such as hawks and eagles.
3. Owls cannot chew their prey because they do not have teeth.
4. Owls have developed special feather adaptations that enable them to minimize the sound made when flapping their wings.
5. Owls are farsighted and are unable to see anything clearly within a few centimeters of their eyes.
