It's superb owl Sunday

These two great grey owls look like they're ready to play, which seems fitting around the Super Bowl (or 'superb owl') – one of America’s most popular sporting events. Great greys are bigger than most other owls, with broad wings and a long tail. But before you pencil them in at offensive line, consider that most of their size comes from feathers - they're relative lightweights. They generally live in pine and fir forests with meadows nearby, hunting small rodents at night and avoiding areas with people. Great greys hunt by listening and watching from a perch, then swooping down on their prey - sometimes plunging into more than 30 centimetres of snow to make a diving catch. Super Bowl LV will be played today in the state of Florida at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, with the Weeknd performing the beloved halftime show.
