The World of Owls

Owls are stealthy birds known for their silent flight, excellent night vision, and unique neck rotation abilities. They are carnivorous, with diets ranging from insects to small mammals. Owls produce various sounds, not just hoots, and play a crucial role in agriculture by controlling rodent populations. Their anatomical adaptations, such as special vertebrae and serrated wing feathers, make them efficient hunters and fascinating creatures.
