Something about the Owl

Owls possess exceptional vision, considered their most developed sense. This trait is highlighted by the size of their eyes, which are very large in proportion to their skull. Positioned frontally, an owl's eyes enable three-dimensional (3D) vision, essential for accurately calculating distances. However, since their eyes cannot move within their sockets, they compensate for this limitation with the ability to rotate their head up to 270 degrees, or 135 degrees on each side. This movement allows them to observe their surroundings, aiding in both hunting and defense.

Owls are renowned for their outstanding night vision. Their eyes, adapted for better distance vision than close-up, feature an iris capable of contracting and dilating noticeably depending on the level of light, both during the day and at night.

The owl's particularly flexible neck further enhances their field of vision. Through oscillating and rotational movements, adult owls can accurately spot prey during hunts, while young owls use these motions to hone their visual skills and learn to master them.

Too tired to do much after finishing this week's lighting coursework, but there is always time to fit in a bit of sculpting.  An hour or so's work on the hyena skull - starting to take shape.
