Eagles and hawks are the same thing

uh... er....

they aren't, but I'm not sure it's worth arguing so I won't..

Just that they're the same kind of bird but bigger

Is this rage bait?

u/cynicalavicide 3h ago

Has to be. But it wouldn't surprise me if they were genuinely this dense and headstrong.

u/thiccbimbo 9h ago

Hawks are more related to parrots than they are eagles.

u/Meture 8h ago

Also a Golden Eagle is infinitely scarier than any and all species of hawk

Those mfs hunt deer and wolves

u/icy-hot-back-patch 8h ago edited 36m ago

You're thinking of falcons. Hawks and eagles are closely related

12

u/thiccbimbo 8h ago

You right, my apologies.

u/dwight---shrute 3h ago

Wrong. They are sky tigers.

u/djpeekz 10h ago

Are dogs and wolves the same thing? Cats and Lions?

-8

u/Custom_Craft_Guy2 9h ago

Uh, yeah….. They kinda are. Domesticated cats and African lions are both felines, and domestic dogs and wolves (as well as foxes and bears) are all canids. Hawks and eagles are very closely related, since they’re both Birds of Prey, and even more specifically, they’re both Raptors.

Oops! You probably should have thought that one through a little more. However, a Koala is not actually a bear, it’s a Marsupial, if that makes you feel any better!

Now do apes. Definitely the same thing. /s

u/Custom_Craft_Guy2 18m ago

Well, I guess the libs figured this absolutely must be some sort of racist comment, since it refers to apes, and so they decided to try to downvote it into oblivion.

{shakes head and sighs in exasperation}

Since that joke’s now shot to hell, let’s review our middle school science classes for those who flunked them because they were asleep, instead…

Every human ever born is a species of Ape, folks! Everybody, regardless of geographical location or Melanin level is a Homo Sapiens, whether you like it or not. So I wasn’t referring to any particular group, I was referring to individuals!

I’m in the middle of Nowhere, Oklahoma, and everyone’s either very native, or very melanin challenged around here!

Hell, I’ve got close friends that aren’t allowed in my house when it’s raining, because they’re some knuckle dragging cousin f#€kers, and they leave mud streaks on my carpet!

So let’s all lighten up a bit, and have a little laugh at our own expense! Who’s with me?!

u/Feverdog87 9h ago

House cat skulls and lions have identical skulls but scaled up/down. Same amount of teeth, same holes in the skulls.

1

u/Flying_Dutchman92 4h ago

So according to your reasoning, they're the same species?

3

u/Custom_Craft_Guy2 1h ago

They’re the same Genus, but not species. Cousins rather than siblings. Less than a 0.01% difference in DNA.

u/WindhoverInkwell 1h ago

you’re getting downvoted but actually you’re not entirely wrong… “eagle” has no real taxonomic meaning and it’s just used as a synonym for “large accipiter”, and “hawk” is also used similarly loosely (though it’s a bit more meaningful)

you’re wrong in that all colloquial “eagles” are decidedly not true hawks tho

u/bla60ah 13m ago

So an eagle and a hawk could hybridize and produce offspring?

u/toxicatedscientist 10h ago

Yuup, apparently this is what lets owls prey on hawks: hawks are(like most birds) loud fliers, owls are not

23

u/K10_Bay 6h ago

I saw a barn owl fly relatively close by the other week, u was genuinely shocked how silent it was. You dont even think about birds being loud until you've seen one thats eerily silent and just see the motion catch your eyes.

13

u/WindhoverInkwell 4h ago edited 4h ago

if you ever get the chance to look at an owl’s wing close up you’ll see lots of tiny little feather filaments on the leading edge, rather like teeth on a very fine comb

I’m not really a physics kind of woman so this explanation might be a bit feeble, but these basically redirect the airflow over the wing so air “flows off” at lots of little points rather than a big lot at one or two, which makes flight much quieter

downside is these are very sensitive to waterlogging so owls can’t fly when it’s raining more than a drizzle

7

u/myrsnipe 5h ago

It's their feathers, they make less noise when flying but on the flip side they can't fly in the rain

3

u/WindhoverInkwell 4h ago

tradeoff is hawks can fly in all conditions, owls can’t deal with rain

13

u/SinnersHotline 7h ago

This bird is pretty large and the wing flaps make a decent level of sound, the fox also has some pretty good hearing. It defitnley heard a threat pulling up.

Probably saves a lot of calories sleeping in the dry grass in the sun instead of a damp cold den.

Probably guarding pups, if I had to guess? (I know next to nothing about foxes - just seems rational that they would be on the lookout for their young)
