Much folklore surrounds owls. To some, they symbolize wisdom. To others, they are harbingers of death. To the naturalist, they are one of the most finely honed predators the world has ever known.
Why do owls fly silently? What exactly is an owl pellet? Will an owl attack my little dog? Can owls really turn their heads completely around?

Johnson is a teaching associate in the biology department at Coastal Carolina University and has spent more than 30 years working with predators of all kinds in both their native habitats and zoological environments.
