Snowy owls are large white owls that live in Canada and northern United States. Snowy owls are white if they are males, and white with black spots if they are females. All Snowy Owls have black spots when they are young, but males lose theirs when they grow up. Females, however, keep their spots. Snowy owls live in fields, meadows, and other open areas, where they hunt small mammals such as mice and lemmings. Unlike most owls, snowy owls are diurnal, which means they are awake during the day.
