Answer:
In order to look for their prey, owls turn their head
Explanation:
Despite giving the impression of having a thick neck because of the plumage, the owls have a very thin and articulate neck. Their vertebrae are much more mobile than the common vertebrae of mammals. In addition to the cervical spine being formed by extremely flexible vertebrae, these birds still have around 13 vertebrae in the neck, while we have only seven. All this results in this incredible ability to be always attentive to the movements that surround it.
This ability, coupled with excellent vision and improved hearing, makes the owl an excellent hunter.
When you hear about a lottery, you think about the chance to win something good (like money, trips, etc). In the story, the lottery ends up being something you definitely would not want to win. The less chance you have to “win”, the better.
