Is the Sad White Owl real?

Saddest owl ever?

Found these pictures of this little guy on Tumblr, and fell in love!..

Then found out it's not a real animal. :( I searched in a owl web-site to try to find out which breed he was, without success, of course. A lot of people were asking if this gorgeous owl was real, after searching I found out it's actually a plush... a unique plush, it seems.

Too bad this cute guy is not real! He even is a meme now! haha
