Can owls see in the dark?

Yes, and so can people!  However, owls have large, sensitive eyes that can see little pieces of light 100 times better than people.  Outside, at night, it may seem completely dark to you, but an owl will see the tiniest bit of light and find things you cannot find.  Their great hearing also helps them find food in the dark. 

Did you know that owls may not see color?  What would the world look like if everything you saw was black, white, or gray?
