Summary
| Description |
English: The snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus), also known as the polar owl, the white owl and the Arctic owl, is a large, white owl of the true owl family.
Females tend to have more extensive flecks of darker grey, while males tend to be a purer white overall. Juvenile male snowy owls have dark-grey markings that may appear similar to females until maturity.
