The first time being minutes. So why aren't minutes called firsts? 5 - Most owls have asymmetrical ears. It helps them to figure out the direction of its prey by sound. The asymmetry causes an interaural intensity difference that the owl can use to figure out the origin of sound in the vertical plane.
