Dead! O rly? Yes rly
 

San Diego, California (AP) -- Jonathan, the Snowy Owl made famous as
the "O RLY" owl, has died in captivity in the San Diego Zoo.

The owl, which was 17 years old, died Tuesday afternoon after the
sudden onset of pneumonia. He was young for an owl in captivity,
however wild owls only live an average of 15 years.

David Phillips, executive director of the San Diego Zoo, said Jonathan
had been in good health but started showing signs of lethargy and loss
of appetite on Monday.

"This is a long sad day for us," Phillips said.
One of his handlers, Dale Richards, also said Jonathan died quickly.
"We checked his respiration rate and it was a little irregular ... he
wasn't doing too well," Richards told The Associated Press. "Early in
the evening, he passed away."
