Night Hunters: Owls

Page 1

Sharp Eyes and Ears

Many owls hunt at night. Their big eyes help them see in the dark. Their ears help them hear tiny sounds, like a mouse moving in the grass.

Quiet Wings

An owl has soft feathers. They let it fly almost without a sound. Then the owl grabs its prey with its strong talons.
