An owl has two slits for ears. One is higher than the other in order to use sound to locate its prey.
An owl has an extra eyelid that opens and closes sideways like a curtain. This extra eyelid is transparent so it can close its eyes and still see while swooping through foliage to catch a small animal, and at the same time protect their eyes from branches.
Today we went to Central Library in Nottingham to see a talk by the boss of Greenwood Owl Rescue. I learned something new.
