An owl hurrying somewhere on the grass touched millions and became a popular meme

Internet memes are born daily. But some are destined to remain local and sink into oblivion, while others are destined to go viral and take over the network. It seems that we are witnessing the birth of a meme with a great future. A photo of a white owl running with a preoccupied look on the grass is spreading in social networks with lightning speed. Funny picture is provided with funny captions, photoshopped and even redrawn in anime style.

The author of the picture with the owl is a photographer from the Netherlands Hannie Heere. This woman took a lot of funny pictures with animals and birds in different parts of the world. Her photos are often found on the web, but none of them "shot" like a running owl.

The photo that went viral was taken a long time ago. Few people knew about it until one of the Twitter users posted it on her page. She signed her cute post like this:

And so it happened — the picture made millions of users smile. Moreover, in some people, the photo awakened creative impulses and specialists in the field of editing "uncovered" their photo editors. So the bird got hands, a gladiator sword, anime eyes and even unusual abilities.

The purposeful bird has also generated a lot of funny signatures. Users have speculated where an owl with such a concentrated look might be hurrying to.

Among the options were a trip for ice cream, beer and even, in the spirit of the times, to the vaccination center.

Well-versed Photoshop pranksters even provided photos with other backgrounds, for example, a wall of explosions.The owl looks organic even as an action movie hero!

And one girl was not too lazy and put a bird on a frame from the news with burning buildings. There's an owl shooting laser beams from the eyes of some building. The signature anxiously asks where President Biden is looking when the bird terrorizes the city.

There were also art with an owl from lovers of drawing. The bird is depicted both in the classical version and in the anime style.

A running owl is unusual and funny. But in order to become a meme, you don't even have to move. A cat from Britain became famous all over the world just by falling asleep in the right place.
