When: November 11, 2019

Where: BestZOO Best, The Netherlands

I so love how this photo turned out! This female's feather pattern fits so well with the dark background - that was all natural - coupled with the normal white... It's quite striking to me

Species: Snowy Owl (Sneeuwuil)

Latin name: Bubo Scandiacus or Nyctea Scandiaca

Originates from the northern circumpolar region, though they’re nomadic.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

…The Snowy Owl was long concerned the only member of the genus Nyctea, but research snows they’re closely relatied to the Horned Owls in the genus Bubo. Still, the classification Nyctea is preferred.

… The Snowy Owl is the official bird of the Canadian province Quebec.

…Both sexes aren’t similar; the male is mostly white, while the female – and young birds – have dark scalloping in their plumage.
