WINNER: SNOWY OWL 57-44

The Snowy Owl has achieved Internet legend status thanks to its O RLY? meme. It’s a large owl, and the only owl with primarily white feathers. Males lose many of their black spots as they age, while females keep them. There found all across the Arctic region, but will migrate down south to more temperate zones. Recent studies show their populations may have been overestimated, as they don’t always return to the same area. This is going to be one tough owl to beat.

The Black and White Owl is another unique looking bird. This is a medium sized owl from Central and very northern South America. It has a classic cartoon prison outfit of black and white stripes, a bright orange beak, and reddish brown eyes. It usually hangs out in the forest canopies as it primarily eats insects and bats. Is this unusual owl unique enough to get a win over one if the most popular owls?

      I’m glad you all are having fun! The reaction was a little tepid when I brought it up, but it really seems to have you guys participating at a greater rate than normal. I keep doing it every day because you guys tell me it’s a positive experience for you.

      Some of these matches have gone very different than I anticipated, so it’s fun for me to watch as well.
