Rescued baby owl dancing to 'Monster Mash' is a real hoot

Updated


An adorable baby owl bobbing his head to the Halloween classic "Monster Mash" became a viral sensation after Raptor Rehabber shared a video of his sick moves on YouTube.

"This is Oakley the juvenile Great Horned Owl," the video's caption reads. "He came to us after a Tornado hit in Kansas a few years ago."

"Whenever we get babies, we try to put them together for comfort and security," it continued. "He was by himself so I put a puppet in with him until I got some other ones his age. I wanted to see what he would do when he heard a strange voice, so I played the puppet. Here are the results!"

Needless to say, the internet fell in love with little Oakley -- the original video was viewed over 2 million times since it was posted back in 2012.

If there's any takeaway here, it's this: owls are wonderful creatures and we have done nothing to deserve their magic.
