🦉 Did you know owls can't move their eyes? 👀 Unlike humans, owls have tube-shaped eyes that are fixed in place. Instead of moving their eyes, they turn their heads to look around. And here's the amazing part… Owls can rotate their heads up to 270 degrees! 😲🦉 That's almost three-quarters of a full circle! Imagine being able to look over your shoulder without turning your body! 😂 💬 Did you know this one? 👍 YES – Already knew it! 😲 NO – That's a new one for me! Happy Friday from everyone at Mareeba Community Centre! 💙💚 #FunFactFriday #DidYouKnow
