Yet more raptors with their heads on backwards
Here are a couple more backwards-headed raptor photos, courtesy of ceratopsian palaeontologist and home-brewing consultant Andy Farke:
Here’s what he had to say about them:
Your recent post spurred me to snap these photos of a burrowing owl doing backwards head things. There are a few individuals at the Living Desert Zoo in Palm Desert, California….it’s a super cool enclosure, in which you can walk into an aviary habitat that has free-roaming burrowing owls, prairie dogs, a turkey vulture, and a few other cool North American critters.
(Even though the San Diego Zoo is most famous, I am of the firm opinion that both Living Desert and the Santa Barbara zoos are objectively better – they have an amazing variety of semi-obscure animals, large and naturalistic enclosures, cool up-close opportunities, and both mostly avoid having kiosks placed every three feet selling cheap plastic crap, which has always perplexed me about organizations that purportedly promote conservation).
At some point, I’m going to have to stop just posting photos of these weirdos, and start writing about what’s going on and how and why.
