Baby Owl Questioned In Owlbsolutely Adorable Police Encounter

Quote:

Whoooooo's this shady character?

A sheriff's deputy in Boulder County, Colorado, came across this suspicious baby owl last week. As you can see in the clip above, she proceeded to interrogate the little bird.

After a brief and clearly tense standoff, it seemed clear the northern saw-whet owl was guilty of being owl-bsolutely owl-dorable.

One Twitter user asked if the owl revealed how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

"The owl wouldn't give anything up," the department wrote in response.

They also wrote that the encounter took place near the Rainbow Lakes Campground in Nederland.

"After some curious head twisting (on both sides) it safely flew away," the agency wrote in its YouTube description.

We kid the Aussies about Drop Bears and all the deadly wildlife they have.
Well, be that as it may, we've got a few ourselves.

Not going there, no thanks.

Yes, but look at dear old Wyoming. Another good reason to like the place.

To be fair, Wyoming might be packed with species we don't know about because there aren't any damn people there... What is it about hot desert-y climates like Australia and Arizona that lend themselves to venomous evolution?

That chart must include insects and arachnids. Virginia has like 2-3 species of poisonous snakes, but that's all I can think of without getting into bugs.

And why the hell would the eagle video get deleted by the owner?

Clodfobble · 07-28-2015, 08:37 AM

Not only that, but I'm pretty sure it includes species that are technically venomous but could never really hurt something as big as a person, like Daddy Long-Legs spiders.

Not poisonous, venomous. Bugs? Absolutely. Plus ex-wives, and politicians.

VENOMOUS SPIDERS FOUND IN EACH STATE
That's incomplete because PA has recluse spiders also. One of the guys I worked with got bit. Nasty results. And climate change will see all of them moving north.

VENOMOUS SCORPIONS FOUND IN EACH STATE

The Eagle video was evidently sold to CBS News.
It's here, but with commercials.
