20) Tawny owls, Strix aluco
Tawny owls are white to pale gray owls that are found in southern Finland where colder winters used to bring more snow (Lou, Nicole). Ever since the climate has started to change it has made the winters milder which results in less snow. In order for the tawny owl population to survive they must adapt by changing to a more brown color (Lou, Nicole). Due to natural selection and survival of the fittest, the tawny owls that are darker in color are appearing more in Finland (Lou, Nicole). This means that these owls are passing down the genes for the brown color to future generations so they will be able to survive in the environment that has been altered by the climate change.
