*** About Snowy Owl

***: The snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus) is famed for its striking appearance and association with Arctic environments. Adapted to life in the cold, its white plumage serves as camouflage against the snowy backdrop, while keen eyesight and acute hearing make it a formidable hunter. Typically found in the circumpolar regions, snowy owls have gained attention for their occasional irruptive movements southward, fascinating birdwatchers across North America. Their diet primarily consists of rodents but can vary widely based on their environment, from lemmings in the Arctic tundra to rabbits and birds in southern climates during migration.
