Pretty tough, right? Well, for us humans, that’s exactly what our eyes are designed to do! We have these wonderfully flexible eyeballs that can swivel and dart around, letting us take in a huge field of vision without twitching a muscle in our neck.</p> <p>But here’s a super cool, and maybe slightly mind-bending, fact about our feathered friends, the owls: they literally <em>cannot</em> move their eyeballs! Seriously! Instead of having spheres that roll around in sockets, an owl’s eyes are actually more like tubes, or cylinders, that are fixed directly into their skull. They’re often called ‘tubular eyes,’ and they’re so big and well-anchored that they don’t move even a millimeter within their sockets.</p>
