Owls do not in fact have teeth but rather a long sharp beak. These animals swallow their prey whole, though they do tend to tear the animals they catch into smaller pieces before they swallow them. Later on the owl throws back up certain indigestible parts of their prey, such as bone fragments as well as feather and fur.
Although it may be true that owls do not have teeth, their razor sharp beak and talons make for excellent hunting weapons. Owls are actually able to eat some animals which are twice their size, all without a single tooth.
