A white owl can turn its head 270 degrees

How can an owl's head turn 270 degrees?🦉

Owls can control their surroundings by turning their neck 270 degrees, providing a panoramic view.

Owls have to turn their heads this way because they hunt at night; because their eyes are fixed in the eye sockets on the skull. So they have to move their heads to change their field of vision.

Owls' necks are more flexible than human necks: they have 14 neck bones, while we have 7. But more than that, the way the owl carries oxygenated blood to its brain is an impressive skill.
