A friend showed me this video over the summer and now I cry every time I watch it because I laugh so hard!

@derz owls are birds of prey.

But yes, that is a heck of a little owl! I am duly impressed! ^^

That was extremely incredible. It looked like the owl was trying to turn into a hawk or another bird of prey.

The survival tactics of animals are so amazing. There is also another animal call the Mimic Octopus that mimics several different species of aquatic animals. From flounders to crabs. Check it out sometime.

WTF?????

that was scawey!

Monica, you nearly got me in trouble at work for snorting out loud at the “why I eyes ya,” because I could imagine that PERFECTLY at that moment. That owl definitely has anime eyes.

Thank you for the translations and explanations – I still can’t believe how he makes half his face disappear!

But what kind of owl is the Death Star? He’s impressively HUGE!!!

BWAAA HAAAA HAAA! What a HOOT! I ’bout died laughing….

European eagle owls do an odd mix of the two if they see a dog or something scary – to look big, they stretch up as tall as they can, and then spread their wings. Since they’re large birds to start with, the effect is bloody terrifying!

When I first saw the owl increase its size, I started making the “oh long John, why I eyes ya” cat noises. The owly face looked like it would say that if it could.

Wow, freaky! Nature is an awesome thing, isn’t it? It astounds me every day.
