Snow Owl Egg

A Snow Owl egg for Superior Kibble

Snow Owls lay this egg at random, and survivors in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended can eat it as it is or turn it into Superior Kibble. The game describes it like this: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides superior nutritional value in many cooking recipes."

The ARK Wiki names a number of tames that ask for Superior Kibble specifically, among them the Argentavis, Megalodon, Direwolf, Mammoth, Tapejara, Woolly Rhino and the Snow Owl itself. Any creature that takes Simple, Basic or Regular Kibble will also accept Superior Kibble.

Hatching a baby Snow Owl

When two Snow Owls mate, the fertilized egg they produce hatches into a baby Snow Owl. Incubation lasts 2h 56m 27.389s, and the egg needs between 12 and 13.5 °C (54 to 56 °F); outside that window it starts losing health. An Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can shorten the wait by up to 20%. A female Snow Owl then waits between 18h and 2d before she can lay again.

Be careful when collecting: taking an egg while wild Snow Owls are nearby turns them hostile, and they will go after the survivor.

Weight, spoiling and maps

Each egg weighs 12 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 1200. An egg spoils after 192 hours (8 days). The wiki ties the egg to Extinction, where it was introduced, and also lists Lost Island and Genesis: Part 2; our records also list Lost Colony and Astraeos. The version that added it is 285.104.
