Eurasian Scops Owl Shows off Flexible Neck

Animation description:

This Eurasian scops owl called Frutya is able to keep its head in place by focusing its eyes on the camera while the body rotates. Owls can turn their heads often making a 270-degree turn! Such flexibility of the neck is possible due to the large number of cervical vertebrae, of which an owl has 14 (and a human has only 7).
