    This reminds me that owls can turn their heads to freaky angles because that head looks turned way around that my neck hurts just from looking.

    But the shot is great though. Just that phwoosh of warer.

      They’ve got twice the neck vertebrae than we do, and they’re a bit coiled like a spring. The blood vessels and airways are also similarly coiled inside so they don’t suffocate themselves contorting like this. Those would have been some interesting generations to observe while that was evolving! 😆
