Strigiformes

Strigiformes is the scientific order that includes all owls. These birds are known for their excellent night vision, silent flight, and sharp talons, which help them hunt rodents and small animals. Owls have a distinctive facial disk that enhances their hearing, allowing them to detect prey even in darkness. They are found worldwide, with diverse species adapted to various environments. Owls typically nest in tree cavities or on cliffs and are often associated with wisdom in many cultures. Their unique adaptations make them highly effective nocturnal predators.
