Owls
The owls are part of the family Strigiformes, which include about 200 birds of prey. Most are solitary, and nocturnal, except for some like the Burrowing owl. Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects and other birds, though some specialize in hunting fish. Owls are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland, and some remote islands. Living owls are divided into two families: the typical owls, (Strigidae) and the barn-owls, (Tytonidae).

How do you draw a spotted owl?
Toucan get a picture off google and trace it, or if your looking for a challenge you can just draw it looking at the picture
You want to draw the owl in one swift motion from your owl scabbard. Grasp it gently but firmly by the outside of the feet and present it towards you opponent. It's wings should be either side of it's trunk, and the length of it's body should be pointed slightly above your opponent's head. Make sure it's belly is pointed towards the floor or it will likely to backfire.
When you first draw the owl it is likely to become flustered, flapping it's wings and swivelling its head in many directions in a rapid motion. This head movement is key to aiming the bird. If possible release the owl the first or second time it faces your target. Many animals have a "flight or fight" response to surprise. To combine these effectively in an owl for maximum effect it is important that you release as soon possible once aim and bird position are aligned.
Just as golfers shout "fore" and fencers "en guard", owl duelists traditionally cry "Vole-Mouse! It's unclear if the birds understand the phrase or believe such a hybrid exists. The spots make very little difference.

The tufts of feathers on an owl's head are called?
They are called "ear tufts"
It isn't really known why some Owl species have ear tufts. The two popular theories of why some Owls have ear tufts are:
That the tufts might help provide a given owl with a distinctive silhouette, thereby allowing other owls to help recognise members of their own species by sight.
That some Owl species erect their ear tufts when alarmed by approaching danger (while at the same time adopting a vertically elongate body shape different from their more rotund resting pose), it's been suggested that ear tufts help break up the owl's outline and make it appear more like a broken branch.

No, a healthy animal such as a rabbit should never take a bath. You shouldn't need to bathe your rabbit. Healthy rabbits groom themselves. Rabbits clean themselves the same way cats do, by licking themselves. If a rabbit is molting, it should be brushed daily to make sure it doesn't swallow too much fur, as they can't digest it and this can lead to serious illness.
Sometimes rabbits do need a bath, but if your rabbit does need a bath, that means something is wrong and you should consult a rabbit-savvy vet about it!
Bathe rabbits VERY carefully, because there are many risks and it can be very dangerous for the rabbit! Do research first about how to bathe the rabbit: there are many resources online that can help you: see the question below for details and links.

Another Wrote in Response: Grooming sprays like this can be very dangerous for rabbits: they can harm the rabbit's sensitive skin, or by licking its fur the rabbit can be poisoned. Do not use any commercial products on your rabbit unless a rabbit expert or rabbit-savvy vet has said it's good.

You can give a rabbit a bath, however, it is not as healthy for the animal because the water washes away oils that keep the rabbit's skin clean. Rabbits don't need a bath because they clean themselves and if your rabbit has not very clean feet then you can was the feet but they normally clean there feet so you shouldn't need to clean then.
No. Rabbits do not need baths and generally find them very stressful.
If absolutely necessary, it is better to just do a "spot cleaning" of the area that is dirty rather than subjecting a rabbit to the stress of bathing.
If it is absolutely necessary to bathe your rabbit, keep in mind that it takes rabbit fur a long time to dry, and in cold/windy weather they may catch hypothermia. In that case, it is a good idea to use a blow dryer (on a warm, never hot, setting) to speed the process. Rabbits are prone to overheating, so be cautious; you also want to avoid burning the skin. If the weather is warm and you can keep your rabbit away from drafts, let the rabbit air-dry instead.
There are many other risks associated with bathing your rabbit. It is best to avoid baths if possible.
