An owl(猫头鹰) is a bird．There are two basic types of owls: typical owls and barn owls．Owls live in almost every country of the world.
Owls are mostly nocturnal, meaning they are awake at night．Owls are predators——they hunt the food that they eat．Owls hunt for mice and other small mammals, insects, and even fish．Owls are well adapted for hunting．Their soft feathers make their flight nearly silent．They have very good hearing, which helps them to hunt well in the darkness．The sharp hooked beaks and claws of the owl make it very easy to tear apart prey quickly, although owls also eat some prey whole.
Owl eyes are unusual．Like most predators, both of the owl's eyes face front．The owl cannot move its eyes．Owls are far-sighted, which means they can see very well far away, but they can't see up close very well at all．Fortunately, their distant vision is what they use for hunting, and they can see far away even in low light.
Owl can turn their heads 180 degrees．This makes it look like they might be able to turn their heads all the way around, but 180 degrees is all the owl needs to see what's going on all around him.
(66) Perhaps because of the owl's mysterious appearance, especially its round eyes and flexible neck, there are a lot of myths and superstitions (迷信) about owls．Many cultures believe that owls are unusually wise．Because owls are nocturnal, some cultures associate owls with bad omens．However, owls probably do not interact with the fates of humans at all．In fact, some owl species may become extinct because of humans.
