The Snowy Owl



Snowy Owl

Also known as the polar owl, the white owl, and the Arctic owl

The snowy owl is mostly white. They are purer white than predatory mammals like polar bears and the Arctic fox. Often when seen in the field, these owls can resemble a pale rock or a lump of snow on the ground. Most owls sleep during the day and hunt at night, but the snowy owl is often active during the day, especially in the summertime. The snowy owl is both a specialized and generalist hunter.
