The mysterious birds we know as owls are very interesting creatures. Owls can rotate their necks 270 degrees which allows them to see their environment. The eyes of an owl are not true ‘eyeballs’. Their tube-shaped eyes are completely immobile, providing binocular vision which fully focuses on their prey and boosts depth perception, so being able to move their head 270 degrees really comes in handy when they are hunting for small animals.

A. Owls are very interesting and mysterious birds. They can rotate their necks 270°.
B. Owls do not have true eyeballs, they have tube shaped eyes that are completely immobile.
C. Owls can rotate their heads 270° which allows them to see their environment because their tube shaped eyes are immobile.
