Not bad, many scientists think that it hunted at night, in a batlike fashion.

Or perhaps an owl as doesn’t it lack the complex ears of a bat?

Yeah but it has these big eyes instead and a wing power that can lift the 20x of its own weight. Just like Bats, they need it for special maneuvers like landing on the celing of a cave.
