Wildlife spotlight
Snowy owl
Range and habitat
Snowy owls live much of their lives on the open Arctic tundra in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, northern Scandinavia, and Russia.
Interesting info
Unlike most owls, snowy owls are active during the day, when they hunt for lemmings and mice, as well as other mammals and birds. They spend much of their time sitting in one spot, using their good vision and hearing to locate prey.
Snowy owls, which often pair for life, are the heaviest owls in North America. Females may weigh more than six pounds; males are slightly smaller. Adult males are almost entirely white; adult females have dark markings. Their legs and feet are covered in white feathers, which help protect them from cold weather.
