This feature is crucial for hunting prey in the dark.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Head Rotation:<\/strong> Owls can rotate their heads up to 270 degrees. This ability allows them to scan their surroundings without having to turn their bodies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Role in the Ecosystem<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Owls play a vital role in controlling populations of rodents such as mice and rabbits.
