Owl

Comin' at you hot with some funny animal memes! 

The start of the week, so everyone needs a little pick me up. Some giraffes, some fishes, and a whole bunch of dank doggo memes to hopefully make your week a little easier to get through. So, get 'em now, and if you let one breathy laugh out through your nose, then we have been successful! And if laughing is not what you're going for, here are some adorable and wholesome otter memes to get you through the day.

These owl memes have got us feeling owl kinds of good! Get it? Because "owl" sounds like "all"? 

We'll stop now. 

Did you know there are up to 220 species of owls in the world? We swear we feel like we've only seen 15 or so. And that it's a myth that owls can turn their heads a full 360 degrees? Close but not all the way because that is absolutely terrifying. 

Oh, and you know those big owl eyes that stare at you with the force of a thousand suns? Yeah, apparently an owl's eyes account of 1-5% of the owl's body weight. Which is insane but also doesn't really surprise us. 

Enjoy some owl goodness on us! 

One viral photo tweeted by journalist, Mark Rees, started an internet stardom. 

People have suddenly discovered that baby owls nap with their faces down and look unbelievably cute while doing so.

Turns out, the reason behind this weird sleeping position is that their heads are too big.   

The responses have been pretty funny, as well as generally wholesome, starting off an entire owl appreciation thread.

"Another day, another successful hunt. Can life be any more predictable and boring?"

That's the inner monologue we assume this snowy owl is currently reciting. 

Picture this, you're a gorgeous, majestic snowy owl. You have incredible wing span, can fly silently and have large talons deployed and ready to strike. You are fearless and feared by many.

Repetitive wins could eventually becoming your life's boring routine.  

Obviously, we have absolutely no idea and this owl could be expressing a surplus of joy and we wouldn't know. 

However, if we were only to go by looks and what we know boredom to look like... well, this is it. 

Owls are beautiful creatures that are associated with wisdom. They're also the subject of some of the funniest posts on Tumblr and we are here to bring you some of the best ones we have found, just because we love you owl!  

Suffolk Owl Sanctuary has deemed a rescued owl "too fat to fly" when it was brought in from a ditch and thought to be injured... turns out, the owl wasn't injured and simply too chonky to fly. 

The little owl, known as a Athene noctua, was examined by staff and they found it to be "simply extremely obese" and "unable to fly effectively" as a result of that. 

So even so the owl isn't injury, it's still good that it's at the sanctuary where they can regulate its diet and he it achieve a more "natural weight" and thus, able to fly once more. 

Good luck, little guy! We believe in you!

Some happier news to emerge from the blazes in California revolves around an injured great horned owl discovered by CAL FIRE in the ashes of the Maria Fire. Firefighters used a coat and took Ram to a wildlife rehabilitation group, where the bird will recover from its injuries.

'Hoo' knew?! The owl known as Kaln, is actually a female! Kaln first arrived at Gloucester's Barn Owl Centre as a chick in 1996, and the bird's gender had never actually been checked because the bird was so healthy, according to Vincent Jones, who set up the centre. 

"You should have seen his face after he laid it. You should have seen our faces," Mr Jones said.

The staff plans to change Kaln's name to Kalnee in recognition of his newly discovered gender.
