"Some owls have ears located directly across from each other, in symmetrical placement. Others have asymmetrical placement, where an ear on one side of the head is located above the one on the other side of the head, which increases their ability to locate sound on a vertical axis. These owls use their uneven ears to judge exactly where sound is coming from." https://www.owlresearchinstitute.org/adaptations https://www.owlresearchinstitute.org/adaptations
