For owls that are superb.
One of the rehabs has a fun weekly game to guess the species based on a very zoomed in photo.
I did get it right in the end, but I thought it was a little bit tricky.
Anyone got any guesses hoo this fuzzy foot belongs to?
I'll post the answer in the comments later in the day in case spoiler tags aren't working across the board.
Mountain lion!
Edit: Oh, I'm in superbowl...
It does look like a big cat foot. Wrong number of digits though.
When I was scrolling through my feed, there are plenty of other animals mixed in, so it did not register to me immediately as an owl, due to the lack of scale.
~~I'll guess O RLY.....?~~
Edit: Wait no. Let's try my favorite, the Barry White of owls, Mr Great Horny!
I like that description!

Indeed! No owl is big enough to cause any life threatening injuries (if you disregard that Barred Owl murder theory!) but this owl could absolutely leave a lasting impression on you if you made it upset!
Oh great, now I'm over here googling pictures of various owl feet 😂
Given what I've seen, I'm also gonna go with my neighborhood buddy, GHO
Those won't be the strangest feet pics being Googled today, I'm sure! The internet is a wild place! 🤣
Hey! That's my sleep paralysis demon.
At least it's a cute and fluffy sleep demon!
This wasn’t a photorealistic render by Pixar?

There were many good guesses. I can't fool you guys!
At first I thought it was a Snowy, but the color didn't look right. I'm used to them having the fuzziest toes of the owls. The only other foot that giant and fluffy is our dear friend, the GHO!
So I think you all got it or came in a very close second. Way to go!
Snowy owl?
Another excellent possibility!
I’m going to guess GHO.
Uh oh, a serious guess. I wasn't prepared for this! 😆
