Owls are very interesting creatures. They sleep during the day, and hunt during the night. This is called being Nocturnal.
The beak of the owl is short, curved, and downward-facing, and typically hooked at the tip for gripping and tearing its prey. It mainly hunts mice and other small creatures.
Owls can rotate their necks 270 degrees. A blood-pooling system collects blood to power their brains and eyes when neck movement cuts off circulation.
Owls hunt other owls. Great Horned Owls are actually the top predator of the smaller Barred Owl.
In fact, owls are insanely good hunters. Check out this video to learn why:
Barn Owls swallow their prey whole—skin, bones, and all—and they eat up to 1,000 mice each year.
