A mouse rustles in the leaves, but nothing seems to be moving above you. Then, without a single sound, an owl swoops down out of the shadows! With its round face and big, glowing eyes, this feathered night hunter is one of the quietest fliers in the whole animal world.  \nThat silent swoop is no accident, because an owl's feathers are built like nothing else. The front edge of each wing feather is soft and fringed, like the teeth of a tiny  \ncomb. This fluffy edge breaks up the rushing air, so the owl flies without the whooshing sound other birds make. That means a mouse never hears the owl coming until it is too late!  \nFlying quietly is only half the trick, because an owl also needs to find its dinner in the dark. Its wide, flat face works like a satellite dish, funneling every tiny sound straight to its ears. In some owls, one ear sits higher than the other, which helps them figure out exactly where a sound is coming from. Their huge eyes cannot roll or move at all, so an owl must turn its whole head to look around.  \nAfter all that hunting, an owl leaves behind a surprising clue. Because it swallows small animals whole, the parts it cannot digest, like bones and fur, get squished into a little ball called a pellet. Later, the owl coughs the pellet back up and drops it to the ground. Scientists love to pull these pellets apart, because inside they can find tiny skeletons that tell them exactly what the owl ate for dinner!  \nOwls: Hunters of the Night  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the main idea of this passage?\u003Cbr>A.
