- Snowy owls are large white and black flecked birds that live in the cold Arctic regions.
- They mostly eat rodents and water birds.
- Snowy owls nest on the ground, and unlike many other owls they are active during the day and sleep at night.
- Snowy owls can weigh from 3.5 to 6.6 lbs (1.6 to 3 kg) and be 20 to 28 in. long (52-71 cm).
- Their entire bodies, even legs and toes, are covered with soft, fluffy feathers, and their feet have extra thick pads to keep them warm.
- They will even crouch on the ground behind any object that can block the wind when the temperatures get very cold.
