Barn Owl's White Plumage: Nocturnal Camouflage, Not a Handicap
A new study in PNAS reveals that barn owls' white underbelly acts as nocturnal camouflage by reflecting moonlight, allowing them to approach prey undetected, challenging the previous theory that the brightness shocked prey into immobility; however, the exact interaction between these two theories re...
