Introduction

Owls are known for their unique ability to see in the dark. This allows them to hunt when most other predators are sleeping, giving them a unique advantage. How did they evolve this ability, along with with their unique ability to move their necks close to 270 degrees, silent hunting ability, and their appearance?

Owls also have microbes that help them survive. These microbes
