Question

Passage

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 dose 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 (in a strange and frightening

manner) 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.
