Information:
People in Europe and America have long considered the snowy owl as "God of
the Mountain"; a symbol of wisdom and trust and a bringer of happiness. In
Greek mythology the snowy owl was known as the governor of knowledge and the
arts, and in Aesop's fables it is described as having powers of prophecy.
It is believed that merely placing pictures or ornaments of owls in corners
of the house will welcome good luck into one's home.
As the name suggests, the snowy owl is covered in snow-white feathers. This
large species of owl is mainly found in Arctic tundra areas. The snowy owl
can rotate its head up to 270°, giving it an extremely wide range of
vision. White feathers cover its body all the way to its toes, and its
short beak is buried beneath feathers on its face. Unlike most other owls,
the snowy owl is active during daylight hours. Summer in the Arctic circle
features nights of "midnight sun" , and the snowy owl, living in open areas
such as tundras, grasslands, wetlands, or rocky areas, must hunt for prey
from an elevated point with maximum vision of the area. For this reason,
snowy owls are often very active during the day, even though hunting is
commonly done in the mornings or evening. Their prey consists mostly of
small rodents, but they occasionally feed on other birds too.
