This is for your friends who are afraid of owls… we hope they won’t be anymore, after reading this.

Apparently, all babies are born with heads that are bigger than their bodies but baby owls’ heads take the win. Their heads are so heavy that they have to sleep face down.
How old were you when you knew this fact? We were today years old.

It first surfaced online as a meme because everything cute and funny either becomes a meme or a Twitter thread. Well, this one became both.
Sources say that adult owls sleep standing up because they’re fully developed but baby owls have to lie down to hold the weight of their bodies.
This particular tweet has been getting a lot of traction but for a different reason. Netizens are actually amazed to see owl’s legs than the fact they sleep face down.
I've just discovered that baby owls sleep face down like THIS because their heads are too heavy. Also, I don't think I've seen owl legs before.... pic.twitter.com/dfKii2JtS8
