Owl Eyes

Owl eyes refer to special structural adaptations in an owl’s eyes that enhance their ability to see in low light. These eyes are large relative to their head size, with a high density of light-sensitive cells called rods, allowing for exceptional night vision. Additionally, owl eyes are fixed in their sockets, so they turn their entire head to change their viewing direction. This adaptation provides a wide field of view and helps them hunt effectively in darkness. Overall, owl eyes are a remarkable evolutionary feature that support their nocturnal hunting habits.
