In the summer, snowy owls are brownish with dark spots and stripes. In the winter, they are completely white.
Scientific name (Genus & Species): Bubo scandiacus
Habitat: Range; Northern most Canada, Alaska, also circumpolar
Summer Winter
Environment: open spaces; tundra, grasslands, or frozen lakes.
Description:
The feathers of the snowy owl have no pigment. This leaves more space for air which helps to keep the owl warmer because air is such a good insulator and it also makes the owl white.
One of the biggest owls is up to 27 inches.
Wingspan is about 45-60 inches.
They hunt silently, hunt during the day unlike most owls.
Breeding once is about 8-10 eggs, eggs are laid on the ground or on hummocks because there aren't trees in the Arctic.
Reason why I like it:
First, I am interested in it and start researching this owl because I think it’s beautiful and strange because it doesn’t live in Thailand. It is in the cold country and has snow. I see it from the movie (Harry Potter). When I researched this kind of owl, I found this owl is different from others. The usual owls hunt at night but these snowy owls hunt during the day. They all have the strange bright yellow eyes. Their skins are as white as the snow. I think that this kind of owl is not like an owl. It looks like a normal bird.
