Discovered in a Dave's Garden gardeners garden this rare Ear Owl fills one of the missing evolution all time questions. Daytime will find the rare Ear Owl posed as a vegetable but come nightime the owl leaves the plant hiding place and ...well does what owls do. By day the Ear Owl is part vegetable and part animal. Evidently this is the only plant to animal evolution step ever discovered and photographed. Close observation shows the less than important eyes, a nose, a mouth and chest with teats burried in the part hair, part vegetable mass and part skin apparently still evolving. It is in this mass the Ear Owl catches its prey in a sticky unknown substance that then absorbs the insect and sperm as well. The teats are developed aparently to be ready for suckling baby Ear Owls. This would permit us to speculate that within the same area there is or was a male counterpart. Copulation would likely be the act of bringing the four ears together so the ejected sperm could be absorbed by the female the same as her food. The readership is begged to be extremely carefull when in the fall cleanup this year one could accidently eat an Ear Owl thinking it half a cured yellow green pepper. For certain without the male this amazing missing step would be broken and evolution of the Ear Owl could not continue.
