One morning, someone from California found an injured owl on his porch. It turned out to be a blind owl with eyes that look like a starry night. After the owl was taken to the vet, he found a permanent home at the Wildlife Learning Center in Sylmar, California. He was named Zeus because of the Greek god of heaven and thunder because of what his eyes look like.

Wildlife Learning Center Zeus was injured when he was found on the front porch of a California home, but a dedicated team of animal lovers at the center helped him get better again. Since he was blind, they could not free him in the wild, so he now lives in a log next to the desk of the founder of the Wildlife Learning Center Paul Hahn. Wildlife Learning Center "Zeus is very peaceful and always calm. He has a very big personality and shows how interesting nature can be." Wildlife Learning Center "A veterinary ophthalmologist thoroughly examined him, cured him and considered him irreparable because he only has about 10% of his vision and could not survive in the wild on his own." Wildlife Learning Center "He is so camouflaged that most people don't notice him until we point him out. Many others see him but think he is a stuffed animal because he is always calm. When he wakes up and opens his eyes, everyone is surprised — we have had people almost crying when he reveals his beautiful eyes." Wildlife Learning Center "It is really special that Zeus' disability is causing many people to be aware of and care about our environment everywhere. He really is an ambassador for his species." Here we leave you a video of Zues.
