We love you, Ngobi! Have you seen this darling add We love you, Ngobi! Have you seen this darling addition to the colobus monkey family in the Tropical Rainforest loop?
Snow adorable! Hoo? It’s some of our newest hatch Snow adorable!

Hoo? It’s some of our newest hatchlings: a precious pair of snowy owl chicks. This is the first pair of snowy owl hatchlings at the zoo in six years! 
 
The chicks were hatched June 10 to parents, mom June and dad Dusty 💗

The beautiful snowy owlets, along with mom and dad, can be found in the zoo’s Living Northwest Trail. “These owlets are growing quickly and beginning to get curious about their environment—occasionally exploring outside of their nest,” said Christine Verador, Animal Care Manager at Woodland Park Zoo. “Zoo guests that are patient and lucky enough to get a glimpse of these cuties are in for a treat!”

The parents were paired under the Snowy Owl Species Survival Plan, which is a cooperative, breeding program across zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums to help ensure a healthy, self-sustaining population.

The fluffy white snowy owl is the heaviest North American owl and one of the largest in overall size. Males are nearly pure white and the female’s white plumage is highlighted with dark brown bars and spots.

The snowy owl prefers open areas for its breeding range, including tundra and grasslands. During winter it seeks treeless habitat to the south including prairies, marshes or shorelines.

The arctic-dwelling snowy owl is migratory and nomadic.

When there are changes in availability of prey, particularly a scarcity of lemmings, large numbers of owls will fly to southern Canada and the northern U.S., including Washington state, in search of food. This phenomenon is known as an irruption.
