The biggest difference between an owl and an eagle lies in their hunting and activity patterns. Owls are primarily nocturnal hunters, equipped with silent flight and excellent night vision, allowing them to hunt in low light. In contrast, eagles are diurnal and are known for their powerful eyesight and agility during the day, often hunting from high altitudes. Additionally, eagles tend to have larger wingspans and are typically more aggressive hunters compared to the more stealthy owls.
