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.
Wilson's Bird-of-paradise
Wilson's bird-of-paradise is one of the most extraordinarily colored birds on Earth. Males meticulously clear a patch of forest floor as a display court, removing every leaf and twig. The species was virtually unknown to science until the late 20th century due to its restricted island range.
