Marc Hammond, co-star of a viral video featuring a sassy owl, was surprised to learn that the video had reached over 21 million views on TikTok. The video shows the rescue of the owl from an attic, with Hammond providing fun facts about the species while the owl is perched on his hand. The owl was safely released after being rehydrated.

The video of the owl has become a meme, with over 1,500 TikToks using the audio from the original video. Hammond, who runs Animal Experts with Jeff Carver, had never seen an owl in person before the rescue. The success of the video on TikTok led Hammond to create his own account on the platform.

Animal Experts, Inc. was founded 33 years ago as a side gig for Hammond and Carver while they were working at Pima Animal Care Center. The company specializes in wildlife rescues and has gained popularity on social media for sharing videos of their rescues. Hammond expressed gratitude for the success of the business and has no plans of retiring anytime soon.
