context_page_description: Owls are animals in the order Strigiformes. There are 200 species, and they are all animals of prey. Most of them are solitary and nocturnal; in fact, they are the only large group of birds which hunt at night. Owls are specialists at night-time hunting animals. They feed on small mammals such as rodents, insects, and other birds, and a few species like to eat fish as well.
  As a group, owls are very successful. They are found in all parts of the world except Antarctica, most of Greenland, and some other small islands.
