Answer 1

Explanation:

Snowy owl Arctic adaptations

The Arctic tundra is a harsh environment, but the snowy owl is well adapted to surviving and thriving in the cold habitat. They are quite round-bodied, which helps them maintain their body heat, and they have thick plumage. Most birds have bare legs, but the snowy owl has feathers covering its legs and feet to further insulate it from the cold. Its abundant coat helps make it one of the heaviest members of the owl family, with adults weighing approximately 1.8 kilos (4 pounds). As part of their survival technique in this harsh environment, snowy owls expend as little energy as necessary. Flights are short and low to the ground, and they wait for prey as opposed to flying and searching.
