The Owl Hunts at Night

Have you ever heard about owls? Owls are special birds that are different from many others because they like to be awake when it’s dark outside, at night. This is why we call them nocturnal animals!

Why do owls hunt at night? Let's find out by breaking it down step by step:

• Eyes that See in the Dark: Owls have big eyes that help them see very well in the dark. This helps them look for food when it’s night!
• Quiet Flyers: Owls have special wings that let them fly quietly. This means they can sneak up on their food without being heard!
• Hungry for Mice: At night, when owls are out, many small animals like mice are also looking for food. Owls search for these little animals to eat.
• Safe from Other Animals: Being awake at night helps owls stay safe from animals that might try to catch them in the daytime.

So, when the sun goes down, the owl starts its adventure to find food. Isn’t it cool how they have special skills to help them thrive at night? Next time you hear an owl hooting, you’ll know it’s out hunting in the dark!
