∙ 14y agoMost owls have extremely large pupils, which give them excellent night vision. Also, the owl has forward-facing eyes (most other birds have eyes on each side). This allows the owl "binocular vision" (the ability to see out of both eyes at once), which gives them more depth perception, which is an advantage in low-light hunting.
