Q.

The owl can see most clearly in total darkness because –

A. it has squint eyes
B. it has large eyes with orbs directed forward, giving it binocular sight
C. it has light bulbs in its eyes provided by nature
D. it produces infrasonic sounds
Answer» B. it has large eyes with orbs directed forward, giving it binocular sight
Explanation: Because of their eyes, an owl can see much better in the dark than we can. Owls have very large eyes which maximize light gathering in conditions of minimum light, thereby enabling them to see at night. The orbs of their eyes are directed forward, giving them binocular vision. They are able to see their prey in a three-dimensional manner. However, an owl's eye cannot rotate.
