You can find many amenities in a luxury hotel… But something tells me "owl" isn't on that list!
A great-horned owl somehow found its way into the Aspen Ritz-Carlton hotel, possibly through the roof. Footage of the animal was caught on camera by Aspen police. It's seen flying down the hallways of the hotel.
Hotel staff called the Aspen police after closing doors to trap the animal. Only one, Officer Tina White, has prior experience dealing with raptors, and was able to capture and calm down the bird. Although, it took several attempts to capture it with a net, and then cover it with a blanket to subdue it. Then, it was released back into the wild.
Hopefully, this owl won't find his way back into the hotel — that capture doesn't look pleasant for the bird, and it definitely wasn't easy for the officers!
And this isn't the first time we've seen the creatures stand up to the authorities. Just watch this tiny bird take on Deputy Sophie Berman in this awesome clip. This little guy isn't afraid of anything, just like, we suppose, our hotel guest.
If you're glad this creature made it out of this hotel mishap, please SHARE!
