Episode 88
This episode—which is number 88—is all about owls. Owls are fascinating birds that have captured our imaginations since the dawn of humankind. They have amazing camouflage that allows them to blend in with their surroundings, and they have several other avian superpowers that set them apart from all other birds.
Owls are divided into two families—Tytonidae and Strigidae—and we'll be discussing both of them today.
