Rotate your owl

This is a video that was on YouTube.  They talked about it on ‘Outrageous Acts of Science‘ on the Science Channel.  They said it was real and that the owl’s head is not connected to its body with the spine.  So it can focus on one place (their prey) without their head bobbing up and down when they fly.  The owl can even hold his head still with his eyes closed or covered.  I thought it was really cool, and I wish I could do it too.  It would be awesome!
