Owl Shows Off Silent Flight Superpower
Clip: Season 33 Episode 9 | 2m 59s
Just how quiet is a barn owl in flight? The answer, as it turns out: very quiet indeed.
Evolution has endowed owls with a suite of superpowers: precision hearing, incredible eyesight, night vision. Add to that the power of virtually silent flight, and no prey in their path stands a chance.
