The snowy owl is a large, striking bird known for its beautiful white feathers and bright yellow eyes. Found mainly in the Arctic regions, these owls are well-adapted to cold environments. They primarily hunt small mammals, especially lemmings, and can be seen gliding silently over the snow-covered landscape in search of food. During the winter months, some snowy owls migrate south to find more abundant food sources. Their unique appearance and fascinating behavior have made them popular in culture, including in the Harry Potter series, where a snowy owl named Hedwig serves as a loyal companion to the main character.
