These incredible pictures show the gripping moments a snowy owl snatches its prey off freezing ground. The sequence follows the bird from being perched on a post to taking flight after spotting a helpless mouse with its piercing yellow eyes. In one of the shots, the bird flashes an arrogant glance to the camera as if to say Watch this, before swooping on the unsuspecting creature. A small explosion of powder shoots off the turf as the owls claws grab the rodent and it soars off into the sky. Unfortunately for photographer Peter Stahl, who took the images in Alberta, Canada, he wasnt able to enjoy the moment. PICS BY PETER STAHL/ CATERS NEWS/ANIMAL PRESS
