Owl Watchful Tilt Confounds Maryland Man
A Maryland man tested an old tale of an owl wringing its own neck by following a bird closely as he walked around a post. The owl kept its head perfectly aligned with the man’s path, only turning when the observer was opposite, then snapping the gaze back with precision. The experiment repeated showed the owl’s shifting gaze was unnoticed by the man, highlighting the bird’s uncanny head movements.
