This handy coat-changing cammo trick, used by, for example, Arctic foxes and snowshoe hares, isn't shared by snowy owls. But their year-round light plumage-plus their bulky bodies, layers of down, and low metabolism-does make them well adapted to living north of the Arctic Circle. (Cottagers can spot snowies in southern and central Ontario in the winter, though.) Males have a lighter coat and can sometimes look pure white; females and young birds are typically barred or flecked.

More neat factoids about snowy owls: They're the heaviest North American owls, and they can scarf prey, such as voles, whole and head-first. Later (as with other owls), they regurgitate the bones and fur in a slimy pellet. Efficient! Yet so disgusting.

Is there a liquid that will change color when it comes in contact with gold?

I doubt it. Color-change is an indication of a chemical reaction. Gold, however, is generally non-reactive (although highly conductive), which is why it doesn't tarnish or rust. Since I cannot think of another chemical gold reacts easily with, I'm giving a tentative "no" to your question.

No, gold does not change colors when burned. When heated, gold may maintain its appearance or form an oxide layer on the surface that can be rubbed off to reveal the original color. Burning gold may release fumes and emit a metallic smell, but the metal itself does not change color.
