Myth Or Fact ?

We are here again with an exciting read about myth or fact?
So owls a very pretty bird i guess, can rotate its head to 360 degree
Like really? Man Is it myth or fact?
Just imagine you turning your face 360 degrees might stare some more of your crush? ;) hahaha

Lets talk , Owls are more flexible than humans because a bird’s head is only connected by one socket pivot instead of having two like humans. But even though with one pivot and small number of bones in neck the owls can't really turn their neck 360 degrees and thus an owl shouldn’t be able to withstand such extreme levels of movement in her neck.

But YES it can turn their head to a lot more degree maybe around 300 ;)
According to researchers vascular network allow the owls to turn their heads that far without cutting off blood to the brain.
