An owl with teeth?
This shot is a little creepy, although I love the perch this Barred owl was on. No, he didn't grow a set of teeth. Those are the feet of a good size mole that this owl ended up swallowing in just a matter of seconds after he tore into it just a bit
For owls that are superb.

If you find an injured owl:
Note your exact location so the owl can be released back where it came from. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist to get correct advice and immediate assistance.
Minimize stress for the owl. If you can catch it, toss a towel or sweater over it and get it in a cardboard box or pet carrier. It should have room to be comfortable but not so much it can panic and injure itself. If you can’t catch it, keep people and animals away until help can come.
Do not give food or water! If you feed them the wrong thing or give them water improperly, you can accidentally kill them. It can also cause problems if they require anesthesia once help arrives, complicating procedures and costing valuable time.
If it is a baby owl, and it looks safe and uninjured, leave it be. Time on the ground is part of their growing up. They can fly to some extent and climb trees. If animals or people are nearby, put it up on a branch so it’s safe. If it’s injured, follow the above advice.

What about bears? They're shaped like friends!
The bears look truly amazing to cuddle, but there's probably also some risk involved.
We've had some snacking on a few of our trail cameras the last 2 years.
If you woke up and found momma bear decided to sleep beside your bed, would your first reaction be joy? 😁
Squeeee! Li’l untouchables!
They are very adorbs. The one year my brother was sitting out at the base of a tree and had a momma and cubs come strolling by a few yards from him. I don't know if he's ever tried so hard to become a tree himself! He found it a very special encounter, but not until he was well away from them. 😂
