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。
Indian Peafowl
The Indian peafowl is the national bird of India and one of the most spectacular birds in the world. The peacock's enormous train, which can span over two meters, is used in elaborate courtship displays where the feathers are fanned and vibrated. Despite their size, peafowl can fly short distances and roost in tall trees.
