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.
Because it's sick AF, and they're sick AF.
then they should go to the hospital
Owls have the right to get ill.
Right answer.
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
*loose-eyed humans.
I like the thought of a world where Owls are speciest towards us and call us stiff-necks
This comment made my neck hurt
My neck already hurt so I was hoping after reading your comment that it would have the opposite effect and stop hurting, but alas.
so owls have double the neck per neck compared to humans. that's wild.
And it's coiled up like a spring!
They figured out the drift-stare before Luigi did!
Someone had to be the most badass after the dinosaurs threw in the towel to some space rock.
Who’s going to stop them?
Now that you mention it, they are kind of OP. Flight, stealth, hypermobility. And looking like absolute BAMF'ers at any size or angle.

That actual owl looks like a cubist rendition of an owl.
They're not, but who's going to stop them? The system is crumbling.
Corkscrew neck bones.
If you can make it to the same height, you're free to try as well!
whos gonna stop them, the federal owl service? they can't even put a ladder up without hitting their head
I'd like to put in an evolutionary pull request to upgrade the human body with the following features:
Hold up, if we’re doing that we need to add internal gonads and separated food & air tubes.
2 cm longer arms so we can scratch that spot at the back, pls
As long as you’re redesigning us intelligently, straighten out that recurrent laryngeal nerve.
To see the Side Mice, duh
Someone has to. Might as well be them. It wasn't going to work on bears because bears can't fly.
That you know of
Next tier evolution.
