The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Posted in , ,

The Yorkshire Dales Falconry Centre is committed to educating the public about the need to protect wild birds of prey and promoting associated conservation efforts. These pictures of a snowy owl chick born at the center were taken earlier today by photographer Margaret Woodward. Snowy owl parents are well equipped for defending their babies. When a predator gets too close to the nest, both mother and father will dive-bomb the threat with their sharp talons extended.

    We had a baby pet owl when I was a kid. We lived on a farm and had a big barn so he had a great home.
