LRK Diary Feb-15

[Vipin Sharma]

Short Eared Owl :
Location : LRK,India , 08/02/15
First day , first safari and first time in LRK and what a surprise.
Of all an Owl's features, perhaps the most striking is its eyes. Large and forward facing, they may account for one to five percent of the Owl's body weight, depending on species. An Owl's eyes are large in order to improve their efficiency, especially under low light conditions. In fact, the eyes are so well developed, that they are not eye balls as such, but elongated tubes.
