This owl is a hoot! Owls are just too adorable with their enormous, enchanting eyes and beautiful feathers. When they are babies, the level of cuteness definitely takes flight to another level.
In a recent video, a brown-and-white, fluffy little baby owl is seen sitting cozy on a towel. With big baby blues, this baby owl is a fuzzy, feathered ball of delightfulness. He’s leaning in and getting his head thoroughly scratched by his caretaker. The scratch turns into a temple rub, which sounds good especially if you’re a human staring at your computer screen too long!
On the flip side, these intriguing and mysterious nocturnal creatures are the ones who have the impressive eyesight. Their big eyes let them make use of any available light. However, there is little room for eye muscles. Therefore, owls can’t move their eyes. Instead, owls must move their entire head to follow the movement of prey, according to the San Diego Zoo.
Another fun fact is that owls’ hearing is so precise that they can hear a mouse stepping on a twig from 75 feet away. Yikes, watch out little buddy!
Owls also have a massive wingspan. Their feathers have soft edges, so they can silently fly and sweep down and hunt mice and rodents.
While wide-eyed with intense stares, some owls also have a good sense of humor and can be affectionate. One funny owl played a game of fetch with his owner, and in a touching moment, a great horned owl embraced the man that rescued her.
