I mean, if they can turn 270 degrees in either direction then I suppose they can cover 360 degrees, just not from resting position.
I really doubt they can go 270 degrees in either direction.
You are wrong but recent research indicates that I may in fact also be wrong 😭😭
Owls may actually be able to turn their heads a full 360 degrees | New Scientist - https://www.newscientist.com/article/2413893-owls-may-actually-be-able-to-turn-their-heads-a-full-360-degrees/
That's still not 270 in either direction, that would be a total of 540!! That's seriously exorcist shit
I know it's not a scientific paper or anything, but a quick search led me to Smithsonian Magazine's article:
I stand corrected, owls are indeed some exorcist shit
You made me doubt myself lol, I was like "you're right, 540° neck turning range seems excessive so I should do a search"
