Owls are birds from the order Strigiformes, which includes over 200 species of mostly solitary.

- This is especially true for strictly nocturnal species such as the barn owls *Tyto* or Tengmalm's owl.
- Asymmetrical ear placement on the skull allows the owl to pinpoint the location of its prey.
- Asymmetry has not been reported to extend to the middle or internal ear of the owl.
- Owls can have either internal or external ears, both of which are asymmetrical.
- They are noted for asymmetrical ear placements on the skull in some genera.
- Owls exhibit specialized hearing functions and ear shapes that also aid in hunting.

- These attributes of the owl cause its nocturnal eyesight to be far superior to that of its average prey.
- Thus, the primary nocturnal function in the vision of the owl is due to its large posterior nodal distance; retinal image brightness is only maximized to the owl within secondary neural functions.
- These mechanisms are only able to function due to the large-sized retinal image.
- Owls are farsighted and cannot focus on objects within a few centimetres of their eyes.
- which gives them some of the largest binocular fields of vision.
- Owls are regarded as having the most frontally placed eyes among all avian groups,
- This ability keeps bodily movement at a minimum, thus reduces the amount of sound the owl makes as it waits for its prey.
- easily enabling them to see behind them without relocating the torso.
- Owls' heads are capable of swiveling through an angle of roughly 270°,
- Today, we proudly introduce ourselves as Avara.
Avara is the home to some of the most innovative web3 brands: Aave, Lens Protocol, GHO, Sonar, and now Family, all building towards a people powered internet that benefits all.
We're thrilled to announce the acquisition of Family. With Family, led by Benji Taylor, we're reinforcing our commitment to making web3 accessible through world class product design.

- Instead of moving their eyes, owls swivel their heads to view their surroundings.

- Since the eyes are fixed into these sclerotic tubes, they are unable to move the eyes in any direction.
- This shape is found in other so-called nocturnal eyes, such as the eyes of strepsirrhine primates and bathypelagic fishes.

- An apparent consequence of the evolution of an absolutely large eye in a relatively small skull is that the eye of the owl has become tubular in shape.
- Owls are known for their disproportionally large eyes in comparison to their skulls.
- Owls are part of a small group of birds that live nocturnally, but do not use echolocation to guide them in flight in low-light situations.
- We rewrote the code and added some features.
Now go build.

- Eyesight is a particular characteristic of the owl that aids in nocturnal prey capture.
- Lenny is heading to Devconnect and @lens/ethglobal İstanbul
- so large numbers of downy feathers help them to retain body heat.
- Owls can struggle to keep warm, because of their lack of waterproofing,
- but are unable to climb out.
- Barn owls are frequently found drowned in livestock drinking troughs, since they land to drink and bathe,
- In wet weather, they cannot hunt and this may be disastrous during the breeding season.
- To retain the softness and silent flight, the barn owl cannot use the preen oil or powder dust that other species use for waterproofing.

- The feather adaptation that allows silent flight means that barn owl feathers are not waterproof.
- It also allows the owl to monitor the sound output from its flight pattern.
- and to hear any noise the prey makes.
- This optimizes the owl's ability to silently fly to capture prey without the prey hearing the owl first as it flies,
- making the sound level emitted drop below the typical hearing spectrum of the owl's usual prey and also within the owl's own best hearing range.
- These unique structures reduce noise frequencies above 2 kHz,
- The surface of the flight feathers is covered with a velvety structure that absorbs the sound of the wing moving.
- The serrations are more likely reducing aerodynamic disturbances, rather than simply reducing noise.
- Serrated edges along the owl's remiges bring the flapping of the wing down to a nearly silent mechanism.
- longer pennulum, and achieve smooth edges with different rachis structures.
- Owls’ feathers are generally larger than the average birds’ feathers, have fewer radiates,
- Hey anon, hey!
Hey @lensprotocol family! We are excited to announce our brand new home, https://hey.xyz!
**Why the change?**
Because we wanted to re-introduce ourselves as the one-stop shop for all things Lens. we will be continuing to showcase the latest features from the protocol while listening to our community for what they want to see next.
We will be exploring communities, open actions, and whole new ways you, your NFTs, and the DAOs you’re a part of can benefit from web3 social powered by Lens. This is just the beginning, so thanks for stopping by, and saying hey!
