Tundra Snowy Owl

Tundra snowy owl

The Snowy Owl prefers to live in open areas with few trees. In the Arctic, they live in tundra, but also inhabit grasslands and open fields.

How does the Snowy Owl affect the tundra?

Snowy owls play an essential role in controlling the numbers of rodents in the Arctic tundra environment. One snowy owl can eat up to 1600 rodents in a year.

How did Snowy Owls adapt to the tundra?

Like all birds and mammals, Snowy Owls are homeotherms, allowing them to regulate their internal temperature. Additionally, they have dense body (or contour) feathers that insulate their stocky bodies; long, thick feathers cover their toes and legs, helping to block arctic winds and offer protection from feisty prey.

What do Snowy Owls eat in the tundra?

Snowy owls will eat a variety of food including lemmings, Arctic hares, mice, ducks and seabirds. Females remain with the young, males bring the food and then females feed it to the owlets.
