Snowy Owl: The Coolest Bird of the Arctic
Listen now
Description
You’re probably familiar with Hedwig, who according to ranker, is the world’s second most famous owl and perhaps the most famous snowy owl. But, what else do you actually know about this Arctic bird? Did you know this owl can survive at -135.4 Fahrenheit, and has several unique adaptations that are quite distinct from other owls. Such as their feet act like little snow shoes, and their thick, pigment-less feathers make them one of the heaviest owls in the world.  Unfortunately, they won't deliver your mail. So please don't acquire one because it doesn't want to be a pet.  The snowy owl is one of the largest owl species and the only one to migrate. Not all of them chose to migrate, though, nor do they seem to care too much about where they migrate. If you tried to follow their movements, it'd be like Zuko mapping Aang's movement's after the Avatar first became unfrozen.  All this, and more, makes the Snowy Owl, one of the most unique birds you can find on the planet today.  In the Good, The Bad, The News Did an owl attack Kathleen Peterson outside her home on Cedar Street in Durham and start a chain of events that lead to her death?  Czech singer dies after catching Covid intentionally.
