Owl legs
We all know what owls look like, right? Long bodies, fluffy feathers, large eyes, short legs, and heads that turn around weirdly. I’m sorry, but you’ve all been lied to. Owls actually have long, spindly legs that look like they skipped leg day at the gym for a whole year.
Every time I look at this image I can’t get over how strange it looks. I also feel bad for the owl and the indignity of having your feathers hooked up around your waist for all the world to see. I guess that it makes sense for their legs to be this long, otherwise moving over the ground would be tricky and they are formidable hunting machines. Still, I’m sticking with the original picture in my head.
