WINNER: SNOWY OWL 85-70

โ„๏ธ The Battle of Ice and Fire is here! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

From the North, we have the transcontinental champion of the meme, the squishable polar bear of an owl, the one with the big fuzzy feet, the eater of lemmings, THE SNOWY OWL!

Few of us doubted the Snowy Owl would make it here. It's taken a look at every opponent and said O RLY? Even non-owl fanatics know and love this big plump owl.

Its opponent, from the toasty American Southwest, the tiny titan with a heart of fire, the muncher of moths big and small, the bird whose flaming spirit you can see on its face, THE FLAMMULATED OWL!

This tiny owl has developed a cult following here since taking down the North American King of Owls, the Great Horned Owl. A call had gone out for a new, unknown owl to lead us into the future of owl-ness. Can Flammy answer that call?

Which owl will go forward, and which will be left behind? Upvote your favorite now!

That last photo, looks so conniving! Definitely up to no good!. Good or bad, snowy owls have been a favourite of mine since I was a kid. Impressive beasts!

They are! I really want to see one in person.

I like Flammy, but I had to vote Snowy. Look at those feets!

You're right! I haven't noticed the feet. I have to reconsidere my vote now... And I brag so much about voting flammy * facepalm *

Feet make the raptor after all!

Maybe we could get a flammy-big-feet by crossbreeding...

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Crossbreed owls is a topic I'm looking into!

Not me literally breeding them, me researching them!

Snowy feet may be the best feet! So big and so fluffy!
