| Owl |
Owls have large forward facing eyes and ears of holes, a hawk-like
beak,
a smooth face, and usually a remarkable circle of feathers, a facial
disc in each eye. Most birds of prey sport eyes on the sides of their
heads, but the nature of the owl stereoscopic eyes face forward makes
greater sense of depth perception needed for low light hunting. Owls can
turn the head and neck as much as 270 degrees in either direction.
Prisoners captured by owls with filoplumes felt like feathers on the beak and feet as "antennae".
