Short-eared Owl

you ever get like unreasonably proud of birds

like, they did it!

they evolved from the most successful group of animals in the history of the planet

they SURVIVED the impact that killed them all

and they're arguably just as successful as mammals, learning to survive on every single continent, which even MAMMALS haven't done

they're just so good!
