Owl

We saw two pearl spotted owlets in Chobe.They often hunt during the day, and the small birds don’t like them around because they eat chicks. So they make a horrible racket trying to annoy it into flying away. This makes the owls really easy to find even though they are tiny and camouflage well.

They have fake eyes on the back of their head. Kind of like Mom.

They also have real eyes on the front of their head.

And they can turn their head so far around that they don’t need eyes on the back.
