Question

Read the passage and answer the questions given below.

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 close 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 eerilyhuman, 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.
