Owls are known to sit and wait for their food.When they see their prey, they will fly down, and catch it in their strong claws.
An owl turns it's entire head to see.

BOBCAT AND FAWN
The Jesusita Fire in Santa Barbara, California, caused these two to take shelter together. The fawn is 3 days old and the bobcat about 3 weeks. The fawn came from somewhere in the fire and the bobcat from Carpinteria.
They immediately bonded and snuggled together under a desk in the Santa Barbara County Dispatch Office for several hours.
The bobcat kitten was rescued near Arnold Schwarzeneggers ranch, where it was dehydrated and near death.
They rescued the fawn during last weeks wildfire.
Although wild animals, especially of separate species, are never placed together due to regulations, in this emergency situation, they had no choice.
During the mayhem of the fire, they were forced to put animals anywhere they could, since they had run out of crates large enough for the fawn.
The kitten ran to the fawn, and it was instant bonding.
