Perhaps it is trying to make itself look like a cat?

The show is just a typical variety show in Japan on TV that shows interested stuff, any interesting stuff, kind of like but is on during Prime Time. They love these sorts of pesud-educational shows in Japan on TV, as there are dozens of them, during the day and at night.

The owl has taken on a massive trend in Japan as an alternative pet to a parakeet/budgie or cat/dog. Because of its small size and entertainment value and relatively docile nature.

Looks like it’s an “Afurikaookonohazuku” or White-faced Scops-Owl (Otus leucotis).

But my Kanji is pretty mediocre so I could be wrong.

Out of curiousity, anyone know what type of owl this guy is? I don’t think I’ve ever seen his kind before (Although I can recognize the barn owl used to scare him).

That has got to be the most extreme example of sucking in your gut that I’ve ever seen.

I wish I had the answers for you, but the YouTube entry is in Japanese. Maybe someone who can read it will respond. Please?

What is the name of this show? When will it end up on Animal Planet, as “Iron Chef” did on FoodTV and “Ninja Warrior” did with G4?

And what is the story with that Lapp band?

That was pretty funny.

When they brought the owl into the show the only word I could catch was “KAWAII!!!!”
