Owls are nocturnal hunters that use specialized adaptations like large eyes to see in low light, sensitive ears to locate prey, and soft wings for silent flight. They feed on insects, small mammals, birds or fish depending on the species. All owls swallow their prey whole and later regurgitate indigestible parts like bones and feathers in pellet form. Their vision is adapted for low light conditions with binocular vision and the ability to see far distances clearly.
