How long does an Snowy Owl live for in its habitat?
A Snowy Owl can live on an average of 9.5 to 10 years in the
wild. If it is in captivity, they can live as long as 28 years. The
Snowy Owl is known to be the longest living owls.
There are about 200 species of owls and just about as many varied lengths of lifespans. For instance, the Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) can live 5-15 years, while the Barn Owl (Tyto alba) may live for 20 years or more. Generally, 20-30 years is the upper limit for any species of owl though.
