@ematz.1: The snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus) is a species completely adapted to life in the Arctic tundra, where the cold never shows mercy. Its white plumage, sometimes with dark spots in females, works as the perfect camouflage against the snow. It even has feathers covering its legs, a key adaptation that helps it handle extreme temperatures. It’s also one of the few owls that can hunt during the day, and its vision is so sharp that it can detect prey even in the middle of snowstorms. When it comes to feeding, Bubo scandiacus depends heavily on lemmings, and when they’re abundant, it can hunt an impressive amount in a single day. If food becomes scarce, it switches without hesitation to birds, hares, or even fish. Males tend to become almost completely white during the breeding season, while females keep a more spotted pattern to blend in while protecting the nest. And something curious is that they don’t build complex nests they lay their eggs directly on the frozen ground, as if that harsh landscape had always been their natural home. #owl #animals #animalsworld #wild #fyp
