About These Birds
Schleiereule
Die Schleiereule besitzt die asymmetrischsten Ohren aller Eulen und damit das feinste Gehörsortungsvermögen im Tierreich. Sie kann Beute allein anhand von Geräuschen in völliger Dunkelheit fangen. Der markante herzförmige Gesichtsschleier der Schleiereule wirkt wie eine Parabolschüssel und leitet den Schall zu den versetzt angeordneten Ohren.
Andaman Masked-Owl
The Andaman Masked-Owl is a barn owl endemic to the Andaman Islands. It inhabits forested areas of the archipelago and hunts at night for small mammals and other vertebrates. Its heart-shaped facial disc is characteristic of the Tytonidae family.
