Wacky Owls

Owls are known to be fascinating creatures, but do we think of them as funny? Well, as a matter of fact, they are quite funny and these pictures are testament to that fact.

We see many different kinds of owls in these pictures and as you can see they look extremely funny. To begin with, their large bulging eyes give them a very funny expression, no matter which type of owl they are. And when they close their eyes and cock their head to one side, it gives one the feeling that they are listening to a tune unheard by any of us. When they have their beaks open, they look like they are actually laughing openly. There is one picture of a large dog licking the face of a snowy owl which is exceptionally funny. Another funny picture is that of an angry looking owl being hosed down.
