If you have met Ripley the spectacled owl at one of our Owl Prowls, you know she is rarely in a hurry. Like most owls, she’s an ambush predator, so they will sit and wait for prey to come to them and glide down and pounce. Spectacled owls are found in rainforests from Central America down to South America. Ripley really has the “wait” part down pat, and we call it being on Owl Time. This video shows how owls protect their number one adaptation when they are eating. They can’t see close up anyway
