Having asymetrical (ear openings in different places on the skull) ears allows owls to accurately triangulate the location of their prey. Sounds reach each ear at different times. Additionally, they can actually change the shape of the ear opening, including closing it. Barn owls have the best hearing of any animal ever tested and can strike and kill prey solely on sound alone. Great Grey Owls easily strike and kill rodents that move under the snow. This is all possible because of the triangulation of sound they can do with their asymetrical ears.

Why is one ear higher then the other on a owl?
The reason one ear is higher than the other on a owl is because owls are predators who have to have great hearing to catch the animals they feed on. Example: Some owls eat other owls, so if another owl was flying above, the owl who is hunting will be able to hear the owl above him with the higher ear.
