OWLS

OWLS ARE NOCTURNAL

OWLS ARE AMAZING HUNTERS

• They have more rods in their eyes than anything
• Their ears are just holes in their heads
• Their legs are protected by feathers
• They fly silently

THEIR EYES

• Since they have more rods and less cones, their eyes cant move
• They make up for this by rotating their heads.

OWLS EARS

• They have holes in the side of their heads we went over this
• One ear is lower than the other
• They can hear their prey from underneath snow.

OWLS TALONS

• Those are their claws (the claaaaawwww)
• They have feathers down their legs too keep their prey from scratching at them

FOOD

• Owls swallow their food whole
• Because of this, they hack up a pellet of the things they cant digest
• They are brilliantly called owl pellets.

THE BABIES

• The number of eggs an owl lays depends on the season
• The babies need to learn to fly and leave as soon as possible (just like humans)
• This is because owls are very territorial

BARN OWLS

• They usually eat mice and other small rodents
• They live up to 20 years
