Do Owls Have Teeth?

No, owls do not have teeth.

Instead of teeth, owls use their sharp, hooked beaks to tear apart their prey. Their beaks are specially designed for ripping and shredding flesh, making it easy to eat their food. Since owls swallow small prey whole, they rely on their strong digestive system to break down bones, fur, and other indigestible parts, which they later regurgitate as pellets.

Owls’ beaks, combined with their powerful talons, allow them to efficiently catch, kill, and eat their prey without needing teeth.
