Listed as a “Waldohreule,” which translates from German to “Wood Owl,” “Wood(Forest) Ear Owl” but many of us would know it as a Long Eared Owl.

Yes, they are impressive and, of course, beautiful. Sadly, as “animal rights enthusiasts” broke into the shelter and released him, this one isn’t alive anymore.
It’s sadder in some ways when someone thinks they’re helping, but actually doing a bad thing. I like my animals wild and free, but a flightless owl stands no chance on its own.
It’s also disappointing seeing an animal that could have been rehabilitated, but people tried to help it on their own too long and now they are imprinted and can no longer be returned to nature for their own safety.
