A book report on Aesops Fables

Aesops fables is a collection of fables.

Aesops fables illustrate moral maxims.

Everybody has heard of the fable about the relationship between the farmer and the snake.

Aesops Fables is one of my favorite extra-curricular reading books.

Owls are nocturnal hunting birds with eyes that face forwards. They are closely related to hawks. Owls sleep during the day and emerge at night to hunt small prey.

　　Owls have a large head and large eyes that face forwards (unlike other birds, whose eyes are on the sides of their head). This eye placement gives them binocular vision and very precise depth perception. Also, there are circles of radiating feathers surrounding each eye, giving them a wide-eyed, alert look.

　　Owls cannot move their eyes within their sockets like we can. In order to look around, they have to move their entire head, which has a range of movement of about 270°.

　　Some owls have feathered ear tufts； these are not ears, but are part of the owl's camouflage.
