On October 26, the British "Daily Mail" published a cute set of photos: a spotted owl "invisible" on the trunk, even if you walk past it, it is difficult to detect its presence.
This set of photos was taken by Blake Hess of the United States. Blake, 47, works as a truck driver but is an amateur biologist.
For 5 years, he had been tracking a pair of eastern screech owl (a small owl) in Colorado to study how the creature "survives in the world today." ”
Earlier this year, Blake stumbled upon one of the owls resting on a large tree trunk, and when its eyes drooped, the fur on its body was completely integrated with the trunk, and even if it was deliberately searched, it could not be found. As soon as it opened its big bright eyes, the picture looked even better, as if the trunk of the tree suddenly became angry and very cute.
Blake said it's not easy to capture such images, and while the Cape Owl is not uncommon, it's not easy to find their nests and habitats.
Although from the picture point of view, the Dongmei horned owl has large eyes that are bright and energetic, in fact, this animal is born without vision, and as a "compensation", their hearing is particularly good, more than ten times better than that of humans. The East American Owl lays an egg every day or two, but after the eggs hatch, they lay eggs less frequently.
The newborn Dongmei Horned Owl has only a very thin little fluff on its body, which is protected and fed by its mother.
Nature is amazing. Have you found the bird in the picture above?
