This excellent origami owl was folded by Flickr member "Origamidoc" from a 19.7" x 19.7" (50 cm x 50 cm) square of paper. The specific type of owl it is intended to represent is the Blakiston's fish owl, which is the largest species of the bird. An excellent video tutorial on how to fold the owl may be found
here. The original origami design is by Katsuta Kyohei.
