Snowy owl The snowy owl is native to the arctic region and is also called the white owl.
These cute birds will aggressively protect their territories and nests when someone gets too close for comfort. They are extremely quiet when they fly thus, most attacks happen without any warning sound. And the fact that they nest on the ground and have white plumage makes it difficult to spot them in the snow before getting too close. The snowy owl’s attacks are usually aimed at the head or face. They can make a person blind if their razor-sharp talons dig into their eyes. If you sight this bird it is best to observe it from afar and not try to get close.
