Snow Owl Information
Snow Owls are found around the northern hemisphere polar regions also known as the 'tundra'.
These owls have special thermal isolating feathers for extreme weather conditions, their feet also have extra feathers and the beak is short with only the tip protruding from the feather protection.
Small mammals are the staple food source for the Snow Owl but they also eat fish or left over prey from someone else's kill.
Snow owls are not territorial and will wonder all over the place. They build nests on a mound of stones on the ground.
During the breeding season in May, between four to fourteen eggs are laid and take 38 days to hatch. Both parent attend to rearing the young owls.
