Snowy Owl
Hi, I’m strigiform! Actually, that’s my scientific name for snowy owl, so I’m actually Larisa the Owl! I know you want to know ALL about me, so I’ll gladly fill you in on snowy owls! My phylum name is chordate. My mom could be at least 6.5 pounds and my dad could also be at least 5.5 pounds. My parents could be 25-27 inches tall. The older I get my fur will get whiter and I will have some black dots on me but it all will disappear. My habitat where I like to live is in the tundra, meadows, marshes and dunes during nesting season. The food that I will eat when I grow up with be mice, other rodents, fox, small birds, insects, and even rabbits. But since I am small now, I only eat worms and berries. When I am older I will have to use my claws to grab my food and bring it back to my nest. Males and females owls come together in spring and summer to form breeding pairs and establish summer territories. …show more content…
Lay eggs, incubating, owlet and then adult. My parents only stay with me until I fly. And I only live for 15 years in the wild. My mom could lay 3-5 eggs. People wonder if am endangered or threated. But I am endangered. I am endangered because poachers kill snowy owls to get their fur and sell it. But it is too hard to catch a snowy owl and take off their feathers off, so they kill
