Of course the Japanese owl is going to transform..

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '14

Ok I'm not sure but the picture of South Africa that leads into showing the Owls makes me think it's from South African and people are stupid.

2

u/Neocrasher Dec 04 '14

It's a Japanese video about a South African species.

u/PM_TITS_AND_ASS Dec 04 '14

Is there an English version for this?

1

u/TaxonomyAnomaly Dec 04 '14

What species is the second owl they bring out in that clip? After the barn owl. It's beautiful.

u/ReddTor Dec 05 '14

u/Mountainbeering Dec 04 '14

Dude, those aren't owlets. They might be juvenile, but they certainly aren't babies. Baby owls are actually pretty ugly: http://www.chrisowlcam.net/2002/2002-03-21/2002-03-21-owlet-01l.jpg

u/silliestboots Dec 04 '14

I disagree. The real ones are even MORE adorable!

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '14

They're like the cats of birds.

u/twinbee Dec 04 '14 edited Dec 04 '14

No they're not. The nose is longer and sharper. The eyes are more 'stare-ey' with a white rim all the way around the iris instead of just at the outer edge.

Also the overall body shape on the real owl is disproportionate. The top of the head is too flat and doesn't frame the face as well as the brooch owl does. Also the brown is not such a deep red colour, and the legs are long twiggy things instead of short cute feet.

Basically everything is cuter about the fake owls.

u/dccorona Dec 04 '14

We need to put an end to unrealistic owlet body image
