The owl

Ever feel like you’re being watched? It’s probably this tree. Found in Parque das Nações, Lisbon, Portugal, it brings to mind a demonic owl or angry alligator. In reality, it's a birch tree. Birch trees are characterized by lenticels, which are pore-like structures on the tree that allow it to breathe. Clearly, this tree gives off a creepy vibe.
