Owls
The owls are part of the family Strigiformes, which include about 200 birds of prey. Most are solitary, and nocturnal, except for some like the Burrowing owl. Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects and other birds, though some specialize in hunting fish. Owls are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland, and some remote islands. Living owls are divided into two families: the typical owls, (Strigidae) and the barn-owls, (Tytonidae).

What is the average life span of a barn owl?
They will live around 2-3 years in the wild, and up to 10 years in captivity!
maybe. not many birds can kill a fully grown experienced house/wild/feral cat. an eagle will but any owl including snowy owl wont usually attack a cat if smaller prey is also in the area. if not they might but in turn the cat may do the same. i know this because my cat stalked a fully grown barn owl and killed it by going for the jugular.

yes they do . look at their name . then look @ their color . they are white so they can camouflage in the snow to catch their prey without it seeing them . it can also hide from enemies and predators .
That would be highly unlikely ... though a hawk which was injured or sick and unable to flee/defend itself might find itself an unexpected snack for a King Snake.
Hawks are more than capable of handling King Snakes and are one of a King Snakes predator as well as Badgers, Racoon's and other birds of prey (Eagles/Owls)

Just C. Urious said-They mostly eat insects and snakes.
Owls can be found all over the world, but I'm not sure about the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Maybe Snowy owls live there. It all depends on which owl you are trying to find. For example, if you were trying to find the Burrowing owl, you should look in the Southwestern region of the United States and Northern Mexico. Or if you were trying to find the Eastern Screech owl, you should search the Southeastern U.S. There is a totally cool website called The Owl Pages.com where you can look because it has everythingon owls.
