Okay, this isn’t really geek-related … unless you pretend that this is the familiar of one of Harry Potter’s friends, which of course he is. I just had to post it. Oh, wait! This totally qualifies as science, because I’ve just learned that owls can swim! Science!
Yes, a great horned owl actually swam to escape some peregrine falcons by diving into Lake Michigan at a Chicago park. This may be my favorite owl video ever, followed closely by the creepy gif I’ve added below.
Happy Friday!
