*** About Snowy Owls: Snowy owls are majestic birds primarily found in the Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia during the breeding season. They are identifiable by their striking white feathers and large size. Adapted to life in the Arctic, they have a thick layer of down and feathered feet to combat the extreme cold. Snowy owls hunt during the day, unlike many other owl species, making them a diurnal predator. The diet of these owls mostly includes lemmings and other small rodents, which influences their migration and breeding patterns based on prey availability. With a wingspan of up to 145 cm, they are one of the larger owl species and have few natural predators.
