You can always count on people on the internet to lose their minds at something that isn’t all that insane.
Much like how you look better in business casual instead of in your pajamas, of course an owl is going to look inexplicably odd without its feathers.
More so, an owl can turn its head around 360 degrees. You’re darn right they’re going to have some idiosyncratic-looking skeletal and muscular systems to accommodate that.
Also, they’re birds. Birds are weird as hell.
But enough caveats. On to the demon spawn, tweeted by @DanaSchwartzzz.

Twitter users also responded in kind with pictures of all sorts of animals without fur, which, surprise, look kinda weird, but not all that weird when you think about it.
You’ve got your bears.

Opossums probably aren’t going to get invited to any parties.
@tittenkits @patel_jesse @DanaSchwartzzz I would like to submit a hairless possum for your enjoyment. pic.twitter.com/jnI8xcCp6X

But none of those have anything on cats without fur.
That is… disquieting.
(And also a fantastic Tumblr just in case you forgot the joke.)
