Snowy Owl

Snowy owls are large, white owls dapples with sparse black or grey spots. These large, strikingly-colored owls are naturally found in Polar Regions. 
Living in snowy, polar regions fits these birds perfectly because they blend right in! These birds are quite large. Their wingspan can be nearly 5 ft. wide, and they can easily weigh up to 6.5 lbs.! This makes these heavyweight birds the heftiest owl in North America.
These creatures are highly specialized, and located in a very small subset of habitats. Most of their time is spent in the harsh Arctic tundra. When prey is scarce these birds will migrate, in patterns known as irruptions, to other areas. They have been found in coastal dunes and prairies that are geographically similar to tundra.

Snowy owls are found across the entirety of the Circumpolar Regions. Most of their summer is spent north of the 60º latitude line. Their usual range includes the northernmost reaches of Alaska, Canada, and Eurasia.
When food becomes scarce they have been found as far south as the northern United States, Russia, and even China. These birds are also occasionally found on ice floes at sea, suggesting they are comfortable flying over expanses of ocean.
