Winnipeg Zoo
Nov. 19th, 2009 10:07 amMore from the Winnipeg Zoo set. (I'm going to call it "The Winnipeg Zoo", because I can pronounce that. Apparently the zoo is named for the park, which is named for the river, which is named for the people, which are also known as Asiniibwaan, which means "Stone Sioux", which is not how they referred to themselves, which was Hohe Nakota, which I can pronounce.) Today is for owls. Owls are known for knowing things, but it must be noted that while all owls know things, all owls are not all knowing.

Tawny Owl (Strix aluco) - This owl doesn't know as much as others. He specializes in comic book trivia. (Specifically DC (Specifically DC Vertigo (Specifically Sandman (Well, really just issue 50 (most of it anyway (He liked the pictures but didn't bother reading all the text (He's a bit of a lazy owl, actually)))))))

Long-Eared Owl (Asio otus tuftsi) - This owl is an expert in typography, and really wishes that you'd stop using Comic Sans.
