Their wings have evolved such that owls fly virtually silently through the air. Their eyes are oversized and allow superior vision in all conditions, especially darkness. Owls possess excellent hearing as well. Owls have a very sharp beak and talons allowing them to grab and hold prey.
Of great importance to the owl's hunting success and survival is the amazing camouflage provided by the coloration of its wings, making it nearly invisible to prey. Owls tend to mimic the colorations and sometimes even the texture patterns of their surroundings, the common barn owl being an exception.
