About owl
- Owls cannot rotate their eyes, so they turn their entire heads up to 270 degrees to look around.
- Special fringed feathers on the edges of an owl's wings muffle sound and allow the bird to fly almost completely silently.
- Many owl species have asymmetrical ears placed at different heights on their heads to help them pinpoint the exact location of sounds in the dark.
