The owl can hear the animal one mile away. Before it catches it, the owl has to spot the animal. Since it hunts in the night, an owl has great eyesight so it can see very clearly at night. When the Great Horned Owl captures its prey, they make no sound so their prey won't hear them and they can hear their prey. They catch their prey by grabbing it with their feet. Each of the feet has four toes with talons at the end which are sharp as a razor blade. When the owl has caught its prey, the prey is no longer alive.

When the hawk is catching its prey, it makes sound when it flies, unlike the owl. After the hawk has caught its prey, it is no longer living because its talons are so sharp they pierce the animal's body. The hawk catches its prey fast. If the hawk is after a snake, it has to be faster and more careful. If it isn't, it might become the victim.
