Owls
The owls are part of the family Strigiformes, which include about 200 birds of prey. Most are solitary, and nocturnal, except for some like the Burrowing owl. Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects and other birds, though some specialize in hunting fish. Owls are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland, and some remote islands. Living owls are divided into two families: the typical owls, (Strigidae) and the barn-owls, (Tytonidae).

Owls are very capable of flying in the day, and I have seen numerous owls in the Namib desert hunting striped mice late morning to mid afternoon after an unsuccessful night. The pupils in the eyes simply constrict to a point where the pupil is a very small black dot, allowing in as little as possible light.

Extinction is the fear of all species. In order to avoid this, we as all mammals reproduce.
+++
Not only mammals but all living organisms; but I question the use of "fear". The drive to reproduce is innate, instinctive; but only we humans can think about thence "fear" extinction of our own species, and only we humans can choose by controlling our own instincts as individuals whether to breed. Even then I doubt many people "fear" the human species' extinction since the likelihood of it happening within anyone one person's life is vanishingly small. We fear own deaths, or more likely how we might die; we might fear death by world war, famine or pestilence; but overall extinction of our species? I doubt it! Yes, it will happen, naturally; more likely by evolution rather than catastrophe such as a major mass-extinction; but I don't think we alive now need worry about that!
