This Barn Owl hunting in daylight means one thing - babies to feed! Unlike most owls, Barn Owls have asymmetrical ear openings. One ear is higher than the other, creating a 3D sound map in their brain. They can catch prey in total darkness just by listening. That heart-shaped face? It's a satellite dish that funnels sound to their ears. They hear mouse heartbeats under 3 feet of snow. Silent flight comes from special fringed feathers that break up air turbulence. Prey never hears death coming.Fu

Barn owls are acoustic predators. The disk shape of their face funnels sound toward their ears and builds up a sort of 3D picture of the sound around them. Watch the moment this barn owl strikes its prey captured in stunning detail. http://bbc.in/1xW44Tc | BBC Earth

Tried to uncover an ear, but Kara’s feathers have grown in so thick 😀 A Barn Owl’s ear openings are placed just behind the eyes. One ear is higher than the other. During flight, the left ear captures sounds below, while the right ear focuses on sounds from above. The two different ears allow the owl’s brain to work out exactly where its prey is hiding – even in the dark or under long grass. #barnowlkara #owlears #owlhearing #animalambassador #bestlittlezoointexas | Frank Buck Zoo
