Owls have a 'dance off' in viral YouTube video

Tuesday, February 10, 2015, 3:42 PM - There's a reason this video has received more than a million views in just three days' time. To put it simply, these little guys are a hoot.

Wildlife photographer Megan Lorenz set up a GoPro camera on her lawn and then left the house.

She had no idea she was about to film a dance off that would go down in history.

Internet history, anyway.

This competition has a clear winner. The owl closest to the camera shows off its best moves while the owl farther behind gives up a few seconds in and falls asleep.



Burrowing owls can be found throughout North and South America in grasslands, deserts and in residential spaces -- like Lorenz' front lawn.

Owls are typically nocturnal but this species tends to be active during the day.
