Yeah great eye! When in doubt for owls I (and most ornithologists/birders I know) generally trust the Cornell University including this site (below) ran by them!
Snowy owls also are ground nesters so they would never have a nest in a tree like that video :)

The regal Snowy Owl is one of the few birds that can get even non-birders to come out for a look. This largest (by weight) North American owl shows up irregularly in winter to hunt in windswept fields...

Yeah exactly, while owls DO have some parental care, they basically just feed and protect the babies for a bit (most snowy owl chicks leave after about 25 days). They definitely won't be acting like mammals (also snowy owls make nests on grounds not trees)

You should check out prey! It's the more recent sorta reboot of predator and is pretty well contained

Just so y'all are aware, this is AI. The video itself is missing a lot of key features (snows weird, no shadows, etc) but more importantly, this is VERY far removed from any owl behaviour that has ever been seen.
The AI took human mother/baby and just mapped owls on top of it
