About These Birds
Barn Owl
헛간올빼미는 어떤 올빼미보다 가장 비대칭적인 귀를 가지고 있어, 동물계에서 가장 정밀한 청각 위치 파악 능력을 지닙니다. 소리만으로 완전한 어둠 속에서 먹이를 잡을 수 있습니다. 헛간올빼미의 독특한 하트 모양 얼굴은 포물면 접시처럼 작용하여 소리를 어긋난 귀로 집중시킵니다.
King Penguin
임금펭귄은 남극 주변 아남극 지역에 서식하는 세계에서 두 번째로 큰 펭귄이다. 선명한 주황색과 노란색 귀 깃털이 특징이며 키가 약 95cm에 달한다. 깊은 바다로 잠수하여 물고기를 잡으며 번식에 14개월이 걸리는 긴 번식 주기를 가진다.
