Сипуха

The most widespread owl species on Earth, barn owls are found on every continent except Antarctica and in almost every habitat type from tropical forests to temperate farmland. Characterized by their heart-shaped facial disc that funnels sound to asymmetrically placed ears, enabling them to locate prey in total darkness by sound alone. They swallow prey whole and regurgitate compressed pellets of indigestible bone and fur, making them valuable rodent control agents for agriculture.
