Like Owls, Right where You Belong

They’re beautiful, they’re dangerous, they’re owls. Most of my current knowledge on owls is because of a book I read, “Wesley the Owl”. Like many other birds of prey, they are very intelligent. Owls are also different from birds of prey like day and night, literally! It’s no matter how different they are, because both can still teach us things about ourselves.

Hunting silently through the night, owls live nocturnally. Their unique anatomy is perfectly suited for night. Owls have super light fluffy feathers that make every move they make inaudible. Their Eyes are on the front of their face, for binocular vision. Since their eyes take up most of the space in their skulls, their necks have adapted to swivel 270 degrees to be able to see their environment. The ears of an owl are often placed one higher than the other, to better pinpoint a sound when they turn their heads. The preferred method of killing is by swooping in from behind their prey, and crushing it on impact. In fact, “A Great Horned Owl could puncture your skull with all four talons” (Stefan Pociask).

Poor humans, whose evolution has lead them to be physically futile, slow hairless blobs of flesh. Well at least we have the power to take over and destroy the world going for us.

 I think if we could be as connected and in-tune with our surroundings like owls, we’d probably grow to respect it more. We would live life more easily, using our genetic advantages for hunting, escaping predators, and whatever else they were meant to do. With us doing what we’ve always been doing as owls, humans would be more sure of themselves as well as their place in the world. This behavior would probably limit fights to establishing and maintaining territory.

When a owl pairing nests together for a season, they become more aggressive than usual, especially the females. When defending their territory, females will fend off other females that get too close. This type of behavior was also described by my dad with his last dog, Luna. Luna was a medium-sized, short-haired black female. My dad didn’t spay her as a puppy, in hopes she would make puppies. She never did get pregnant. He has told me about how whenever she came across another female dog her size, she would get extremely hostile. However, with any other dog that was bigger or smaller than her, she had no problem with them. She would only challenge those that were on the same level as her. I find this interesting. In almost every other species, males will leave females be when they dealt with offspring or whatever role they played in the community, and females would leave males to their business. You know a species (humankind) is smart when they realize they can be more powerful than others of their kind, and oppress them.
