Question

An owl is a bird. There are two basic types of owls: typical owls and bam owls. Owls live in almost every

country of the world. Owls are mostly nocturnal, meaning they are awake at night. Owls are predators—they

hunt the food that they eat. Owls hunt for mice and other small mammals, insects and even fish. Owls are

well adapted for hunting. Their soft, fluffy feathers make their flight nearly silent. They have very good

hearing which helps them to hunt well in the darkness. The sharp hooked beaks and claws of the owl makes

it very easy to tear apart their prey quickly, although owls also eat some prey whole.

Owl’s eyes are unusual. Like most predators, both the eyes of the owl face front. The owl cannot move its

eyes. Owls are far—sighted, which means they can see very well far away………. but they can’t see those

very well at all. Fortunately, their distant vision is what they use for hunting and they can see far away even

in low light. Owls have facial disks around their eyes, tufts of feathers in a circle around each eye. These

facial disks are thought to help the Owl’s hearing. Owls can turn their heads 180 degrees. This makes it look

like they might be able to turn their heads all the way around, but 180 degrees is all the owl needs to see

what’s going on all around it. Perhaps because of the Owl’s mysterious appearance, especially its round eyes

and flexible neck, there are a lot of myths and superstitions about owls. Many cultures believe that owls are

unusually wise. Because owls are nocturnal, some cultures associate owls with bad omens. The screech of

the bam owl is considered by many to sound eerily human, like a person screaming. However, owls probably

do not interact with the fates of humans at all. In fact, some owl species may become extinct because of

humans.
