Arctic Foxes & Snowy Owls: a free online word search

Arctic fox and snowy owl word search, free and printable. A white tundra where nothing stands out until it moves, and a silent wing overhead.

About Arctic Foxes & Snowy Owls

Out on the tundra, winter means a world with almost no color, and the animals that live there have answered it by turning white. The arctic fox grows a thick coat that can keep it warm through brutal cold, then sheds it for brown and gray when the snow pulls back. The snowy owl hunts in daylight, sitting low on a rise and watching for the small movement of a lemming under the crust.
