Why do owls hunt at night?
The owl is a bird that moves at night or dusk, and its two eyes, unlike other birds, do not grow on the sides, but directly in front; There are many cylindrical sensory cells in the retina of the eye, and these cylindrical cells can only function in low light, so the light is strong during the day, it can't see anything clearly, and can only move at night.
Why do owls hunt at night? Why not prey during the day? I believe that many people are full of curiosity about this question, and the following will reveal the reasons for the nighttime predation of owls.
An owl is a bird that moves at night or dusk with a hooked beak and claws that are very sharp. The two eyes are also different from other birds, not growing on the sides, but directly in front; The feathers around the eye are radial. The feathers are mostly brown with many fine spots. There are many cylindrical sensory cells in the retina of the eye, and these cylindrical cells can only function in low light, so the light is strong during the day, it can't see anything clearly, and can only move at night.
At night, its field of view is very concentrated, and it can clearly distinguish the distance between the front and back of the scene, helping it determine the capture target in the dark. The owl's auditory nerve is well developed, and the subtle sounds made by some small animals on the ground can be heard. Its feathers were soft and flying, as light as a breeze. Owls feed mainly on rodents, but sometimes also on small birds and insects. An owl can eat thousands of voles in a summer, so an owl is a beneficial bird and a master of mouse catching.
