Oakley, the dancing owl

This will be a hoot for you! An orphaned owl has been seen grooving along to Monster Mash with a Halloween toy.

The orphaned owl known as Oakley is a great horned owl and can shimmy and shake with the best of them.

The owl dances alongside a Halloween-themed toy owl holding a jack-o’-lantern.

As the toy dances and sings the little owl swings side to side to the music of the 1962 hit song by Bobby Pickett, Monster Mash.

The video has attracted more than 1.2m views on YouTube.

Adorable.
