Snowy Owls are striking creatures known for their predominantly white plumage adorned with sparse brown bars and spots. With their distinctive golden eyes—small for an owl—and feather-covered toes and claws, these large birds are a sight to behold. Growing up to 27 inches in height and weighing between 40 to 70 ounces, they exhibit sexual dimorphism, with females being larger. These magnificent owls boast a wingspan ranging from 4.5 to 5.5 feet, and can live for several years in the wild, with some captives living even longer.
