Abstract: Owls have a curious variability in the postrotatory head nystagmus following abrupt angular deceleration. Owls can exhibit a remarkable head stability during angular movement of the body about any axis passing through the skull. The vestibular apparatus in the owl is bigger than in man, and a prominent crista neglecta is present. The tectorial membrane, the cupula, and the otolithic membranes of the utricle, saccule and lagena are all "attached" to surfaces in addition to the surfaces bearing hair cells; these attachments are very substantial in the utricular otolithic membrane and in the cupula.

@HowardGolder Yes, it's SO cruel to turn an owl's body left and right. THE HORROR! THE HORROR!!!!! And you're right, what in the FUCK is the point of learning about biology?! Since when do the physical properties of a living organism ever come into play (outside of everything from engineering to medical purposes, besides all that). What a vile, evil, horrible experiment to take an owl...in BOTH HANDs...and...and...ROTATE IT! MY GOD!!!! WHYYYYYYYYYY????????
