Buffy Fish Owl was a big hit last year. A big, loveable, horned owl with a fabulous anthropomorphized personality is a killer combination that got it to last year's Final 4. Buffy comes from tropical forests and wetlands in southeast Asia. They eat some typical owl food, but Wade into the water to snag fish, crabs, and frogs. Buffy has a number of differences from other owls: different feathers, different beak, doesn't make pellets, nests in a fern, and only ever lays one egg a year.
The Mottled Wood Owl is from the deciduous forests of India and Nepal. Not much data seems to be out there on this owl. We'll have to let this owl's unique looks speak for themselves.
Both owls are quite unique. Do you prefer the comedic looks and unusual anatomy of the Buffy, or are the wild looks of the enigmatic Mottled Wood Owl more your style? Vote below!

A lot of folks don't know this, but the Mottled Wood owl is full of caramel. Probably. More investigation is called for at any rate.
That said, The Buffster is the Underdog Rockstar, I gotta go Buff.
👏 Team Buffy 👏 I love the feral looking fish owls
