Why can an owl's head rotate 270 degrees? It turns out that this is related to the structure of the owl's head.

Although the owl has large eyes, it cannot turn its eyeballs and can only increase its field of vision by turning its neck.

Second, owls have no outer ears and can only turn their necks to capture sound and judge another position, so they have evolved longer cervical vertebrae.

And the ligaments on both sides of the cervical spine are very developed, and the head can be turned to a range of 270 degrees in any direction, thus making up for the lack of eyes and ears.
