Northern White-Faced Owl, also known as Professor Konoha, is an owl Friend who first appeared in the original Kemono Friends mobile game and held a notable role in the original Kemono Friends anime, recurring frequently across Kemono Friends media ever since.

Appearance

Northern White-Faced Owl has short steely-gray hair, with darker gray tones on the top of her head and to the sides of her bangs (dark blue-gray in the anime and Pavilion), and a large area of white crowning the forehead. Further detailings in her hair represent her animal counterpart's characteristics; the beak is represented by her yellow-tinted forelock, the patterned areas on the sides of her head serve as her wings, and two upward tufts of hair in-between her bangs mimic those above the bird's eyes. Her owl's tail is striped gray and dark-gray, and her eyes are amber.
She wears a buttoned coat with a fur-like collar, pockets, and rounded cuffs. Her jacket is patterned similarly to her wings, with sparse dark-grey hatching.

In Real Life

A northern white-faced owl at the Cotswold Wildlife Park, Oxfordshire, England.

The northern white-faced owl is found in a band across Africa between the Sahara and the Equator. Like all owls, they can rotate their heads as much as 270° by virtue of their flexible necks; these birds are equipped with 14 neck vertebrae, compared to the seven found in humans. This adaptation is likely consequent of the way the owl's eyes evolved, being an oval shape rather than a sphere; while this shape grants the owl incredible vision, it also means they cannot rotate their eyes within their sockets. As such, the owl must move its entire head in order to look left, right, up, or down.

Northern white-faced owls have a unique set of defense mechanisms which vary by the type of threat being faced. When faced with a threat comparable in size to itself, the bird flares its wings to make itself appear larger in an effort to intimidate its foe. When faced with something significantly larger than itself, its response is to instead make itself appear smaller, as achieved by pulling its feathers inwards, elongating its body, and narrowing its eyes to thin slits. Beyond simply making the owl harder to detect, it is thought that this may be a form of environmental camouflage, as its altered profile may cause the owl to be perceived as a stick or branch.
