The amazing world <strong>of</strong> animals<br />

A young snowy owl nesting in the Arctic tundra<br />

waits patiently in its nest for its parents to return<br />

with some much needed food<br />

During the breeding season, snowy owls rely on small rodents like<br />

lemmings for food. A snowy owl uses a ‘sit and wait’ style <strong>of</strong> hunting,<br />

pouncing on unsuspecting prey with its sharp talons extended,<br />

swallowing it whole. Unlike other species <strong>of</strong> owls, snowy owls hunt<br />

during both night and day.<br />
