Because it’s sick AF, and they’re sick AF.

Right answer.
Show threadbaguettefishFeb 22
then they should go to the hospital

They have the right to get ill.

Their eyes are stationary in their sockets, so they gotta have crazy necks that are all bendy and whatnot

Owls have twice as many neck vertebra of us lowly stiff necked humans
Show threadMinnesotaGoddamFeb 22
so owls have double the neck per neck compared to humans. that’s wild.

This comment made my neck hurt
Show threadtoynbeeFeb 22
My neck already hurt so I was hoping after reading your comment that it would have the opposite effect and stop hurting, but alas.

And it’s coiled up like a spring!

I like the thought of a world where Owls are speciest towards us and call us stiff-necks

To see the Side Mice, duh

They’re not, but who’s going to stop them? The system is crumbling.

Next tier evolution.

Someone had to be the most badass after the dinosaurs threw in the towel to some space rock.
Show threadFauxPseudo Feb 22
Someone has to. Might as well be the. It wasn’t going to work on bears because bears can’t fly.

That you know of

I’d like to put in an evolutionary pull request to upgrade the human body with the following features:

  • Bendy neck for gyroscopic head stabilization
  • Ultra-low latency zoomable vision
  • 360° neck rotation

Hold up, if we’re doing that we need to add internal gonads and separated food & air tubes.
Show threadVenia SilenteFeb 22
2 cm longer arms so we can scratch that spot at the back, pls

Now that you mention it, they are kind of OP. Flight, stealth, hypermobility. And looking like absolute BAMF’ers at any size or angle.
Show threadzemoFeb 22
They are excellent predators, but they’re not that intelligent. There is always a trade off. Owls are often used as imagery to represent intellect or wisdom but it’s pretty much an ancient misunderstanding. Any corvid will beat an owl at intelligence. A true OP Animal would be excellent hunters AND be highly intelligent. Humans are a good example.

Who’s going to stop them?

They figured out the drift-stare before Luigi did!

That actual owl looks like a cubist rendition of an owl.
