About These Birds
Barn Owl
メンフクロウはあらゆるフクロウの中で最も非対称な耳を持ち、動物界最高の聴覚的方向定位能力を誇る。完全な暗闇の中でも音だけで獲物を捕まえることができる。特徴的なハート形の顔は放物線状の皿として機能し、ずれた両耳に音を集める。
シロエリハゲワシ
The griffon vulture is one of Europe's largest flying birds and a crucial scavenger in Mediterranean ecosystems. These social birds nest in large cliff colonies and can soar for hours using thermals without flapping. Vulture populations faced a crisis from the veterinary drug diclofenac, which proved fatal when consumed through contaminated carcasses.
