Snowy Egret


















In General Biology I did my research paper on the Snowy Egret. Here are some facts about the Snowy Egret.

The Snowy Egret’s scientific name is Egretta thula.
Its phylum is chordata.
Its genus is egretta.
The Snowy Egret is normally 56- 66 cm tall.
Its wingspan is around 100 cm long and it weighs about 13 pounds.

It is all white except for black legs and yellow feet.
During breeding it has lacy plumes on its head, neck, and back.
Males and Females look alike.
At most they live 16 years long.
