Voodoo Time Dot Com

Today I learned that owls have extremely large eyes relative to the size of their brains. An owl’s eye is roughly the same size as a human eye, though their facial feathers make them look slightly smaller.

If humans had the same eye-size/brain-size ratio, our eyes would be the size of grapefruits and weigh about five pounds each!
