That's not half as scary as the inside of a penguin beak.
Yikes, you're right! They traded the talons for this:
The owl mouth is still pretty cool, with directional ridges and a tongue bone, but owl prey is usually pretty well dispatched by the time it ends up there.
It seems the more teeth the better when catching a fish with your mouth while you're both shooting around like torpedoes!
