Our Malamute snatched a sparrow out of mid air one day, really blew my mind how she did it.

He leaped straight up and caught it in his paws, then carried it downstairs in his teeth and hid under the coffee table. I had to poke him to make him let go, but fortunately I was able to catch the bat in a show box and take it outside. Cat was pissed at me because that was the coolest prey he'd ever caught (as an indoor cat) and I wouldn't let him eat it.
