Everyone's impression of the owl is not "sleep at night, sleep during the day", "walk like a penguin", in short, some cute impressions, but do not forget that the owl is also an "eagle".
In fact, the owl's hearing is very sensitive, and in the dark of the night, the owl's hearing plays an important role. The left and right ears of the owl are asymmetrical, the left ear canal is significantly wider than the right ear canal, and the left ear eardrum is developed. Most owls have a tuft of ear feathers that form a human-like pinna. Owls develop auditory nerves. Barn owls weighing 300 grams have 95,000 auditory nerve cells, while crows weighing 600 grams have 270 million auditory nerve cells.
Because owls are birds with good night vision and hearing, many small animals cannot resist these predators. Not only that, but these animals sometimes attack humans, for example, in 2015, a large owl in Salem, Oregon, had a claw grip of 500 pounds per square inch (similar to the bite force of a large police dog) and repeatedly hit the scalp of a jogger. So if you encounter an owl in the wild, don't feel curious and approach it.
