СОВА — досконала машина для полювання в темряві

Silence is the owl's main weapon. It sneaks up so that its prey has no time to get scared or run away. Behind the image of the "symbol of wisdom" and "night ghost" lies a real living hunting machine, honed by millions of years of relentlessly precise selection. In this film, we take the owl down to the smallest detail: eyes that catch crumbs of light, a neck that can rotate almost a full circle, hearing that can hear a mouse under the snow, and wings that fly without a sound. And also - why does nature need so many owls, what will happen if they disappear, and how the silence of the owl's wing has helped engineers make trains, turbines and airplanes quieter. Make yourself comfortable - and let's start with perfect, almost eerie silence.
