Sometimes it is hard to remember that owls are incredibly dangerous predators seen by cultures throughout the world as ill omens. Especially when they look like toasted marshmallows.

The waitress you see there is a French exchange student, who was quoted as saying something to the effect of “I thought it was a weird ugly dog” and had no idea it was a reptile that wanted to rip her arms off. She’s been hailed as a hero who saved diners.

Meet Batlam, a lamb born at a science center. Batlam was born on Easter In Norway, at Vitengarden, in 2014. He was born with corpse paint, or more accurately, corpse wool. Batlam’s wool darkens into a pure black around his evil eyes and the front part of his mouth.
