The snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus) is a large, white owl that inhabits the Arctic tundra. Snowy owls are predators that hunt small rodents, hares, and other birds. They are also known for their distinctive white plumage, which helps them to camouflage themselves in their snowy habitat.
The habitat of the snowy owl is crucial for its survival. The Arctic tundra provides the snowy owl with a cold, dry environment in which to live and hunt. The tundra also provides the snowy owl with nesting sites and cover from predators. Without the Arctic tundra, the snowy owl would not be able to survive.
