Owl’s habitat can be just about anywhere in the world, although you won’t find many owls in Antarctica. Owls do frequent the northernmost reaches of Canada and Alaska so some of them don’t mind the cold at all. Owls habitat can indeed be anywhere from in the tropical rainforest to high snowy mountains.Most owls do make their homes in trees but not all. The burrowing owl, as his name indicates, actually lives in a burrow. But, he does not dig the space himself, he takes over holes that were originally made and used by gophers and other digging mammals. Usually owl’s habitat is determined by the amount of food for them to eat in a specific location.
