The Transformer Owl
The Southern White-faced Owl (Ptilopsis granti) is without a doubt the most amazing owl ever.
It's native to the southern half of Africa, and quite small with its 22-28 cm's and only 184-220 grams.
The special thing about this amazing owl is its ability to modify its appareance when it feels threatened.
It can enlarge its body, puffing it up to look double it size to ward off slightly bigger owls or enemies,
or it can make itself appear shrivelled to camouflage itself as a tree trunk or branch.
This is, the Transformer Owl!

It's in Japanese, but it doesn't matter, just watch and enjoy.
