The largest four-legged hunter on Earth today is the polar bear, weighing up to 600 kg. Standing on its hind legs, a polar bear can rear up 3.5 m tall – twice the height of an adult human.
Many owls have special wing feathers which muffle the sound of the air rushing over their wings as they fly. These allow the owl to hunt quietly and stealthily to grab prey by surprise.
