🦉 Fun Fact! 🦉

Did you know that Eurasian Eagle Owls have some of the largest eyes in the animal kingdom? 👀🔥
Their eyes don’t move like ours – instead, they turn their entire head up to 270 degrees to look around! 🌀🦉

With incredible night vision and super-sensitive hearing, these birds are built for silent, stealthy hunting. 🕶️🌙
