The snowy owl is a relatively large species of owl whose primary white colour
represents an adaptation to their snowy habitat. Whereas young snowy owls are
rather greyish in colour, this changes as they get older. The females exhibit
dark spots and bands and older males are often completely white.
Fun Fact:Snowy owls have a thick feather coating on their feet. These are their
“snow shoes” which protect them from the cold.

Schleich products are developed with the assistance of parents, teachers and children and are therefore especially designed for children’s hands. The design of Schleich products is as realistic and naturalistic as possible. This enables children to experience the large variety of nature – from domestic animals on a farm to wild animals in the jungle.
