The owl on the thumbnail looks at you like it knows your most embarrassing secret ever

"They can dig their burrows from scratch". I see what you did there.

evolution: *gives wings, hollow bones, strong flight muscles, good eyesite, sharp scooping talons* owl: *lives underground* evolution: that's not how this works

*Talks about tense moment and possibilities of baby burrowing owls dying* *Ends the video on a cliffhanger and plays happy music*

These clips are way too short, love this sort of stuff

I've never even seen an owl walk yet alone dig a hole. Thas-a chicken

Narrator: With no trees to nest in... 2 secs later: Literally a tree in the background.

I was excited to learn a new owl fact, and then it was just burrowing owls. We have many where I live. This video made me appreciate the ecology at my doorstep.

Active both night and day: 'o' Digs his home underground °0° Where his mate's rests on eggs: ...❤

Amazing at just how long his legs are.

Just when you thought you've seen all known species on Earth, nature surprises you

>Hey, I have wings that are evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to carry me far distances and help me fly silently throught the night. >i better dig a hole

I’ve seen these in the wild!. It’s a bizarre site. I saw clusters of burrows with juveniles and watchful parents. And lots of pictures. A bunch of owls is called a ‘Parliament’ of owls. Quite fitting.

It's Digger! -The Legend of the Guardians

I am genuinely worried about these owls. They don't have the high ground.

I thought this was common because I grew up near a park that just had them. For decades now. Like the birds just build burrows wherever they feel like it every year. They have a colony. I think park authorities tried to have them removed to another location, since this was a neighborhood park with kids, not a nature park, but found out these were special owls and just had to put caution tape around their burrows.

Owls are such cool animals. I shot a video of a large Barred owl, you can see how the camouflage works in some of the different views, pretty neat :)

We have many families of this owls living and thriving inside our soy crop fields. They just found a beautiful way of living together with us :))

I wondered what _owl_ the fuss was about. Amazing!

I love burrowing owls, so cute and adorable! 😍💖

0:04 Owl: what did you say about my mom?

"they can dig their burrows from scratch" You don't say? 😂

I didn't know I needed to see an owl run in slow motion... But I did. Thank you KZfaq. 😂

That's a goofy looking meerkat... 😮😮😮

You know that Jonny Wurster kid, who that delivers papers in the neighborhood. He's a foreign kid. Some of the neighbors say he smokes crack, but I don't believe it. Anyway, for his tenth birthday, all he wanted was a Burrow Owl. Kept bugging his old man. "Dad, get me a burrow owl. I'll never ask for anything else as long as I live." So the guy breaks down and buys him a burrow owl. Anyway, 10:30, the other night, I go out in my yard, and there's the Wurster kid, looking up in the tree. I say, "What are you looking for?" He says "I'm looking for my burrow owl." I say, "Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick. Everybody knows the burrow owl lives. In a hole. In the ground. Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?!"

That's like the most unexpected thing a bird could do, and yet because it's just as bizarre it's makes it perfect for hiding out of harms way. They should turn this into a Pokemon.

"You've never seen an owl species that does this" There was a book (and movie) called "Hoot" about some kids saving a borrowing owl nesting site from a greedy developer.

Got the same type of owl in my area,they have long legs and live in holes in the ground.It's the only owl that's ever attacked me too!

*Beautiful owl.* We can be glad to have such fun birds on our planet ! Would be interesting to see a longer video about this ground nesting owl.

Actually I have seen these owls before, there was one that burrowed in a field right next to the track at my high school in Florida, one time I got too close to its burrow and it freaking charged at me

I actually live around a few of these, they use gopher tortoises abandoned homes and are far more adorable than this video shows.

Grew up with these little guys. One of em used to play tag with my dog every morning. Sat on the rock wall, waited for the dog to run up and chase him, then would fly back down and chase him, too, taking turns. Never once hurt each other.

It's just a chicken with a strange head.

We have burrowing owls in Florida. The mascot of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton

DAMN THEM LEGS. These dinosaurs are great.

Fun fact: *Owls can rotate their head up to 270 degrees*

I love how he found an old armadillo burrow and make some alterations. Knocked out the kitchen wall, put in a new bathroom, put in under floor heating and changed that god awful wall paper in the hallway.

What an unusual and beautiful bird 🦔

0:40 when you’re grocery shopping , checking out but can’t help but feel like you forgot something.

"You have never seen an Owl species that does this..." Transformer Owl " *Hold my beer* "

Sorry folks, Colombia is not the only place with burrowing owls. They also live in South Florida. I used to see them when I was a kid.

Owl: "It's over mice, I have the high ground, AND the below ground. Muahahahahaaaaaa!"

Want one to be my buddy. Their faces are so expressive.

I see Digger's getting along nicely in his life.

Imagine seeing an owl just casually walk out from underneath the ground.

Love burrowing owls!

0:21 - 0.28 . Me sneaking out of the bed to the kitchen in the middle of the night for food.

Running owl. Priceless. I can now die in peace.

0:20 actual footage of me running from the shower to my room when I’ve forgotten my towel

AAwwwww what a watchfull father he is for his loving mate. Mama who's underground nesting over 4 futur little baby owls.

What a unit this boi is

Loved the way he walks and runs.

Such unique and special owls. They are amazing and beautiful 🦉🤎

Other owls: THE DAYWALKER!!!!!

Owl is on high alert, forgets to see the cameraman.

Oh hey, I see these guys on my way home every week. They're adorable

It's sad this owls lives in my country but i'm from the city so i haven't seen them ever 😢. Also i adored the way it walks at 0:28 so cute aww 😍

"You’ve Never Seen an Owl Species That Does This", unless you've seen the 2006 film HOOT.

We have them all over here in Cape Coral Florida. Pretty cool birds!

I hope the eggs hatched 🐣 and the babies were healthy, learned to fly… etc

WAIT I NEED TO KNOW IF THE BABYS HATCHED AND SURVIVED THE FLOOD

I wish they would do a complete video. It seems like every single time I get hooked watching something like this. The video ends and me saying to myself, why do you keep on clicking on these short animal videos. Lol, nah more like why, why did y'all stop? I want to learn more about this confused little bird.

00:20 when you forgot your towel after the shower

Ah no wonder they look so familiar. "You've Never Seen an Owl Species That Does This" Unless you were born and raised on an island whose few pride and joys are the Shoco. The Aruban Borrowing Owl. Its a National Symbol over here lol

On Aruba the owl species does the same thing. You may be walking in a open field and all of a sudden one pops up out of a hole in the ground.

I actually have seen them, in south Brazil once, a couple of little owl heads raising above ground

Here in Ft. Myers FL a law just passed to protect this species. We have them all around, they are tiny and super cute. However theres a lot of bad evil ppl killing them so the laws do protect them as best possible. Sometimes I take a chair near a protrcted area to see them. I love owls!🦉❤

How cute this is aww😍

Lovely music suites sweet clip and little and very cute raptor

At the beginning this owl is like that little fella on the baseball game who stared at the camera then turned his head between his mum and the cam

Such a beauty

CGI is getting so good it’s hard to tell the difference at a glance lol good job

It's only forever not long at all . Lost and lonely that's underground - David Bowie aka king Jareth

Little guy is so cute. Lol

We have these from where I'm from. They sometimes live in prairie dog holes as well.

Way to end on a cliffhanger

Owls are just modified haws for stealth and silent night attack. When you look at their anatomy, they have sometimes talons that can put an eagle to shame.

0:42 - "...with no trees to nest in..."0:45 - Large tree in the background.

I have large wings, powerful legs, sharp eyes, hallow bones ... Perfect, let me dig a whole ..

Me: "Hey honey, im taking your cell for call" She: 0:09

I thought this was gonna be the owl who’s face scrunches up

Somewhere down the line, an Owl fell in love with a Meerkat.

This is too sweet 😍❤️

Wow, they’re beautiful!

And there goes my nerding on owls DIGGER

”Like snakes & raptors” is what I heard xD

I live in Florida.... they have these guys hanging out around the corner from Publix...

0:20 Me running to the supermarket

Wow how beautiful! I luv owls! 👍💗

This usually makes a lot more sense when you consider that they used to be reptiles at one point.

Owls are awesome. My favorite predatory bird.

This is completely different owl 🦉! Where will this owl mate? In mid air😇

0:22 when mom says the totinos pizza rolls are ready

That owl reminds me of Digger from Legend of the Guardians

I always thought that they couldn't dig their own burrows from scratch and relied on the burrows of other animals. I learn something new everyday!

When you hear somebody call your name and you can tell by the voice that it’s someone you don’t like 0:04

Seen this since i was a baby.... There are some that live at JOE ROBBIE STADIUM IN NW DADE COUNTY FL.......

There are burrowing owls just outside of Palm Springs, CA. Weird seeing something that's in your backyard being portrayed as an exotic animal.

"No trees to nest in" Literally a tree right behind him.

Owls is my fav type of bird.
