Ventura County firefighters saved a great horned owl during the Maria fire.
The owl’s wide-eyed expressions quickly flew across social media. The image of the creature offered a moment of respite from a tense week that saw thousands of residents forced to flee their homes as fires raged across the state.
According to Camarillo Wildlife Rehabilitation, the owl was found “among the ashes, disoriented and suffering from smoke inhalation. Thanks to these courageous men, he will make a full recovery and be released back to his territory as soon as it’s safe to do so.”The owl was named Ram after the NFL team in nearby L.A. County. Ram is in the care of the Wildlife and Environmental Conservation, the Ventura County Fire Department said on Twitter.
Great horned owls are no stranger to Ventura County. According to the California Mapping Project, the area is one of the owl’s breeding grounds.
