Darwin would have said that a few owls were born with bigger eyes. The owls with the big eyes would survive better and have more offspring so the owls with small eyes were less common untill there were only big eyed owls. This is called natural selection.
You are probably thinking of an owl.
Barn Owls and True Owls are the main types of owls. Barn Owls hunt at night and strictly at night, so their eyes are black to help them see better. True Owls have orange and yellow eyes. Yellow eyes help owls see better during dawn and dusk, and orange eyes help owls see during the day and dusk. Owls do come out in the day.
Raptors in all, the group which Owls are a part of.
Owls eyes are a roundy kind of shape like a circle and an oval
No they have real eyes.
Owls can turn their heads, a lot more than us humans can.It's their eyes they can't turn.In comparison to the size of the head, owls have huge eyes that are fixed to the skull.So to be able to see anywhere else but straight forward, owls have to turn their heads.
Depending on the species of owl, the eyes can be black, brown, orange and yellow. Owls' eyes come in three different colors. The owls that live in North America have yellow or brown eyes. European owls have orange eyes.
They are very large. In fact, they take up so much of the owl's skull that there is no room for the muscles (such as human beings have) to move the eyes around. This is why an owl is able to swivel its head around to such a great extent (almost 180 degrees) On average, owls can rotate their heads 270 degrees. If humans had eyes in proportion to an owls, our eyes would be the size of saucers. NF
To see with
Owls' eyes face forwards, at least in most known species.
No. Owls cannot cry like humans as in tears coming out of their eyes. The only other mammal that can cry like humans are elephants.
