The mottled brown and grey owl is partially camouflaged within the folds of the taupe towel, but its ear tufts (a.k.a. plumicorns), whiskers (a.k.a. rictal bristles) and pair of curious olivine eyes give it away.

There’s not much additional information on this particular owl, so this will be a generic post in support of Lilongwe Wildlife Trust:

Established in 2009 this amazing rescue and rehabilitation centre has worked tirelessly to secure a future for Malawi’s wildlife, particularly animals falling victim to illegal wildlife trade. Be sure to check their work to stop the poaching of Pangolins (the world’s most trafficked animal).

Link to donate to Lilongwe Wildlife Trust for those willing and able.
