From WildCareOklahoma
Meet WildCareOklahoma patient #24-3218, great horned owl. This is not a typical position for an owl. This one is being weighed. Taking and tracking patient weights is one of the most important protocols followed at WildCareOklahoma. Changes and trends in weight can indicate the patient is improving and moving toward release or that something may be wrong when weight is lost.
You may recognize this scale - it’s the same kind used in pediatricians’ offices!
Yup, owls are about 40-60% air by volume. You really don’t get your money’s worth with owls.
They are the hollow chocolate bunny of the animal kingdom.
I always thought this pic was fake
Now take away the floof from the top and you have an almost human shaped owl running around.
There really is not much to an owl…
Say that again…
Bubo is in a category all of his own!
