um you know if you had the eyes of an owl you could read a newspaper 100 yards away to give you an idea of how it can't be true that can't be true how could anyone have tested that run They test the fovea of the eye. They taste the, what do they call it? The rods in the eyes. The eye people who know more than I do about eyes tell me that's the case. That's what they can focus on.

They've tested that. They also have incredible hearing. Now, I've done this test myself at the University of Florida where we took an owl. We covered its ears so it could not hear anything. I mean, covered its eyes, rather, so it could not see anything, released a mouse in a pitch black room, and that owl flew from 30 yards away and landed right on that mouse, just from hearing the mouse.

So it's flipping unbelievable the kind of hearing they have. Now, keep in mind, their ears are different than ours. We've got, you know, one ear on each side of our head kind of parallel to each other, but owls have one ear on the top part on the left side and on the bottom part on the right side.

So they're able to triangulate sound better than we can, and that's how they can find their prey, using sound alone. So they're incredible birds that way. They have very specialized feathers in their wings. So when they flap their wings, they make no sound. They have silencer feathers in their wings. So when they're flying, you know, a mouse is eating on the ground.

And all of a sudden, if you're a chicken, you flap, flap, flap, flap. The mouse is going to go incoming. I'm out of here. But with the owl, it's like the stealth bomber. They're unbelievable that way.

It's got to be the owl. Absolutely the quietest. Oh, yeah. I've seen huge owls, big great horned owls fly across the room and I cannot hear. And I'm listening for them. You cannot hear a single thing. It's absolutely savage. Special feathers in their way.

I'm going to get out of my seat for a second. Hold on.

This is really fun.

This is really fun.

A lot of wood. Did you guys see this? That's a narwhal horn? Holy shit. That's a narwhal horn.

A lot of wood. Did you guys see this? That's a narwhal horn? Holy shit. That's a narwhal horn.

That's about almost six feet, maybe. That looks cool. That's really cool. Oh, look at that.

It's hanging over the sliding doors that look outside into the yard. Anyway, so narwhals, you know, the males, they get the really long ones and they use it, they found to stun fish. They will use it to stun fish. And they use it kind of as an attraction to the females. The longer horns get more females. Who do you regard as the most- Does size matter? Size matters with narwhals.
