When Marina Scarr first photographed this handsome Great Horned Owl in Fort De Soto Park, Florida, she thought the noble bird was alone. It wasn’t until she looked at her photo again later on that she noticed the owl was a proud parent caring for an owlet tucked into its feathered breast. The baby raptor blends in so perfectly, it’s practically invisible. That’s got to be one of the safest, softest places on earth. It’s a pretty awesome shot. [via Telegraph.co.uk]

It’s a brand new week, which means it’s about time for a new crazy photo meme from Japan. This time those crazy kids, inspired by a new anime series based on the manga Attack on Titan, are playing with the age-old trick of forced perspective and staging awesome photos in which one giant student is grabbing or about to devour their classmates.

“…Attack on Titan tells the story of a wall city that’s being attacked by human-eating giants. The anime’s opening is utterly mental, and it’s inspiring all sorts of video parodies. 

The show seems to have captured the imagination of Japan’s youth. Since late April, photos of “Pretend Attack on Titan” (進撃の巨人ごっこ or Shingeki no Kyojin gokko) have been popping up online. Using perspective tricks, this photo trend usually depicts teens pretending to hold or even eat other kids. There are also photos of teens “attacking” giant classmates. Over the past few days, the number of pics has really begun to take off.”

Visit Kotaku to view many more “Pretend Attack on Titan” photos.

So, with all of these fantastic photo memes to play with, when do these students have time for class?

Please brace yourself against something or someone sturdy. It’s time for another visit to the Department of Incapacitating Cuteness: This itty-bitty creature, who looks like he/she just had one too many pancakes for breakfast, is part of a new species of mouse lemur. Microcebus mittermeieri is one of three newly announced mouse lemur species found on the African island of Madagascar. Photo by Mark Thiessen [via National Geographic]

The inestimably awesome Sir Patrick Stewart took this fantastic self-portrait in which he fashioned a piece of pink cotton candy into a fabulous mustache. We’re speechless with glee. And if that wasn’t enough to put a smile on your face, click here to see him molding a larger piece of cotton candy into another self-portrait. [via Neatorama]

People in Poland have figured out an amazing way to reduce their carbon footprints. They’re getting invisible pets. It’s much easier on the environment and there’s no stray fur stuck to their furniture or clothes. (At least not that anyone can see.)

Okay, maybe not. These photos are actually part of an awesome series by Weronika Krzemieniecka, an illustrator and graphic design student based in the city of Łódź in central Poland. Entitled Invisible dogs in Poland, the photos appear to be unassuming street shots of everyday people out walking their dogs. That is until you notice that, thanks to Weronika’s playful digital artistry, those dogs are completely invisible, with the noteworthy exception of their mysteriously cast shadows on the ground.
