Item Number: 019

Anomaly Class: Code Yellow

Containment Protocol: Anomaly-019 is contained in a five (5) by five (5) by seven (7) mesh cage made of cross-hatched titanium wiring. Within this cage is a wooden perch measuring four (4) meters in height with four spoking branches. Daily maintenance rounds are to be performed to inspect for any faults in the mesh fence; mechanics will be alerted if any are found.

Four times per day, a rodent or lagomorph weighing at least 3 ounces is to be deposited in Anomaly-019's exhibit for feeding. Any personnel who must enter the cage or handle Anomaly-019 in any way must be equipped with heavy-duty, reinforced raptor handling gloves.

Anomaly Description: Anomaly-019 is a raptor of the species Bubo virginianus (the Great horned owl). It is 64 centimeters in length and possesses a wingspan of 153 centimeters. Externally, Anomaly-019 is identical to the average male specimen of this species. However, the eyes of the creature are made of an unknown "biometal" material that mimics titanium in make-up and strength.

X-rays and internal examinations of Anomaly-019 reveal that the majority (up to 92%) of Anomaly-019's internal body has been converted into a series of cogs, gears, pistons, and electrical wires. These wires have replaced the creature's circulatory system and are attached to a small electrical generator located where the heart previously was.

The skeletal structure appears to have been replaced by a series of hydraulic pistons that provide the creature with advanced flexibility and physical strength. Tests have shown that Anomaly-019's grip strength measured upwards of 2,000 pounds per square inch. Experiments have also indicated that Anomaly-019's eyes can "switch" to different settings, including infrared vision (similar to some species of rattlesnake) and x-ray vision.
