owls

Owls are birds of prey known for their exceptional hunting skills, silent flight, and keen eyesight. They have a distinctive facial disk that helps direct sound to their ears, enabling them to locate prey accurately even in darkness. Owls are mostly nocturnal, hunting small mammals, insects, and birds. Their special feathers allow for noiseless flight, giving them an advantage when approaching prey. They are found worldwide, with various species adapted to different environments. Owls play an important ecological role by controlling rodent populations and are often associated with wisdom in folklore.
