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.
Peregrine Falcon
매는 세계에서 가장 빠른 동물로, 먹이를 향해 급강하할 때 시속 320km 이상의 속도를 낼 수 있습니다. 남극 대륙을 제외한 전 세계에 분포하며 도시 고층 건물에서도 번식합니다. DDT 사용으로 20세기 중반 크게 줄었다가 현재 회복되었습니다.
