WINNER: WHITE FACED SCOPS OWL 72-25

Another popular owl today, the White Faced Scops Owl has been known as the transforming owl. It has its regular face, it's puffed up defensive face, and it's Slenderman/Dracula face. This owl is found in Africa between the Sahara and the equator. It's cute, it's versatile, it's a tough owl to beat.

Living just outside the Great Horned Owl's range, the Spectacled Owl is able to dominate the rainforests from Southern Mexico to Argentina. It strikes quickly from a patched position to take out a wide range of rodents. Birds such as pigeons are also a regular target. This owl is antisocial and does not get along with other owls, or even other Spectacled Owls except during breeding season. Will this solitary hunter be score to conquer the Scops Owl?

I would love to see him scuttle away clicking his beak and making 3 Stooges sounds! 😂
