How do owls see in the dark?

Owls see in the dark thanks to their large eyes, which gather more light than those of most animals. Their retinas have a high concentration of rod cells, which are highly sensitive to low light. Owls also have forward-facing eyes that provide binocular vision, enhancing depth perception. Combined with their ability to rotate their heads nearly 270 degrees, these adaptations make owls exceptional nocturnal hunters.
