Owls的意思

"Owls" 這個詞在英語中指的是一類夜行性鳥類,屬於鳥綱中的鴞形目(Strigiformes)。這些鳥類通常具有圓形的面盤、大而明亮的眼睛,以及尖銳的聽覺和視覺能力,使它們成為優秀的夜間獵手。

Owls are known for their distinctive appearance, with large, forward-facing eyes and ear tufts, a flat face, and a short bill. They have a wide range of sizes, from the tiny elf owl to the great gray owl, which can be over two feet tall.

Owls are found on every continent except Antarctica, and they inhabit a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, deserts, and even urban areas. They are known for their silent flight, which is adapted for hunting small mammals, birds, and insects at night.

In many cultures, owls are considered symbols of wisdom, and they have been featured in literature, mythology, and folklore throughout history. In some cultures, however, owls are also associated with bad omens or death.
