These photos of an owl wrapped up tightly in a little blanket have gone viral.
The saw-whet owl, who was suffering from a fractured pelvis, was being nursed back to health at the University of Minnesota when an employee decided to take a snap of the adorable scene.
Miranda Taylor, of the University of Minnesota's Raptor Centre, explained: "The specially-designed wrapper makes these wriggly little patients easier to weigh."
The owl has since made a full recovery and has been released back into the wild, this time a famous face, Metro reports.

There's a reason for this cuteness: The owl can be easily weighed whilst wrapped up.
