It really isn't that obvious from the current image that the owl is actually rotating it's head much further than any other animal can. It relies too much on the reader going in already knowing that owls can rotate their heads pretty far.

Suggestions: Ragdoll from The Batman. A better picture of an owl rotating its head.

Ragdoll doesn't look so much like abnormal rotation as he does a completely unnatural design, period. I also hesitate to use owls because that range of motion is perfectly natural for them, although if we can't find any other examples, then the suggested owl is much more clear than the current pic.

I got a better one of ragdoll here: http://imgur.com/a/PChGH

Incidentally, I tried going through the trope examples for other pictures, but it seems most of them are describing Head Turned Backwards.

[up] If he didn't look like he was dead from a fall, I'd say that'd be a great pic.

Yeah, I'm not looking at that unless you post it at wiki size.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

^^ It doesn't make me think of "ability" since it seems to be a curse or something.

[up] Good point...that would disqualify it.

I think 10.2 would work. Although so would a picture of a real-life contortionist. I remember seeing a promo for a TV show about world records or "amazing" abilities with some guy wrapping his arms around himself in such a way that his shoulders seemed to almost vanish. But like I said, 10.2 would work, and work nicely. I'll vote for it.

This one's at a week and the leader's the only option in the green, so it's up and tagged. Caption?
