Description
To maintain its blood at a constant temperature, the snowy owl must eat more food than an animal in a warm environment. The snowy owl uses fat left over from summer to survive when food is scarce. Instead of flying to keep warm, the snowy owl stands as still as possible such as in this pose. Males are whiter than the females. The male owls such as this one, uses its white feathers to blend in with the surrounding snow. The female, on the other hand, has brown speckles that she uses to blend in with the rocks and melting snow around her. This camouflage protects the owl from many predators including the arctic fox, wolf, and even humans.
As you can see, the snowy owl is well adapted to its environment. It has managed to get food and survive in the tundra.
