Owls eyes are designed for night vision. This is achieved with the eye being very rich in Rod cells (light-sensitive cells) in the sensory receptor layer of the retina. Owls pay the penalty for this by having very poor focusing powers, and the eyes are virtually immobile in the eye socket.
The owls can see at night but we can't, this is because they have a much better eye sight than human beings. Their body is adapted to be able to see at night or in dark. Their eye sight is ten times better than human beings this is because they have more rod shaped receptor cells than human beings. Human beings have more cone shaped ones. This is why we can't see at night but owls can.
Not very well, of course, but their method of adaption has led to tubular-shaped eyeballs! Some species also possess very specialized hearing capabilites, enhanced by offset skull cavities.

It depends on the type of Owl you're talking about. Most owls are nocturnal, actively hunting their prey only in darkness. Several types of owl, however, are crepuscular - active during the twilight hours of dawn and dusk; one example is the pygmy owl (Glaucidium). A few owls are active during the day also; examples are the Burrowing Owl (Speotyto cunicularia) and the Short-Eared Owl (Asio flammeus).
Much of the owls' hunting strategy depends on stealth and surprise. Owls have at least two adaptations that aid them in achieving stealth. First, the dull coloration of their' feathers can render them almost invisible under certain conditions. Secondly, serrated edges on the leading edge of owls' remiges muffle an owl's wing beats, allowing an owl's flight to be practically silent. Some fish-eating owls, for which silence has no evolutionary advantage, lack this adaptation.
An owl's sharp beak and powerful talons allow it to kill its prey before swallowing it whole (if it is not too big). Scientists studying the diets of owls are helped by their habit of regurgitating the indigestible parts of their prey (such as bones, scales and fur) in the form of pellets. These "owl pellets" are plentiful and easy to interpret, and are often sold by companies to schools for dissection by students as a lesson in Biology and ecology.
It absorbs the little light reflected off the moon and has extra rods and cones in its eyes to make out figures.
An Owl sees very good in very dark places as its eyesight is much more advanced than ours is, therefore it can see in the night extremely well
With its eyes
Yes. Owls can see in the dark thanks to their giant eyes and pupils
All nocturnal animals have large eyes. The eye of an owl helps it see better in the dark
yh take the owl for example and bats , bats can ONLY see in the dark :)
The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark was created in 1968.
Type your answer here... .lhnmtemetlmn, nklmn, klmn
screech owls can see in the dark, rotate around their head, and are nocturnal !!!!!!!!!!!
You don't... not without a sort of machine that helps you see in the dark. You have trained him (or her) to come when they are called.Either that, or you happen to have their favorite food ever around.
It helps owls survive because they need it to catch prey, fly, (see) ect.
Plop
no the owl lives only in the dark not sunny and spaces owl are always moving from place to place
the owl will hoot soon at night in the dark when it will catch its prey
NO, Owls cannot see in complete darkness however they Have more light sensing cells (Rods) Enabling them to have good night vision. If you stick a owl in a dark room it will have to rely on hearing more then sight because no light is available.
