3 NEW SNOWY OWLS!
The trio hatched on July 1, 3, and 6.
They have been in the care of their parents, Frost and Cirrus, in a private room in the zoo's Garden View Place building. “We’re really excited to welcome three snowy owlets,” said Doug Piekarz, president and CEO at the Akron Zoo. “Cirrus and Frost are doing an incredible job caring for the owlets. These hatchings are a major celebration for the future of snowy owls and increasing their populations. I am proud of my staff for helping to create a welcoming environment for Frost and Cirrus to expand their family.”Last year, the parents had a pair of snowy owlets that hatched but died three weeks later.
RELATED: According to the Snowy Owl Species Survival Plan, snowy owls have a 33% mortality rate in their first year.
