Can owls turn their heads 360 degrees? Unveiling the truth behind this fascinating ability

Researchers Panyutina and Kuznetsov used CT scans to analyze owl necks, discovering that neck joints and spinal coiling enable extreme head rotations. However, some experts, like Habib, worry about potential nerve damage. Live owl experiments are needed to confirm these findings conclusively.
