A Bobcat Uses a Different Hunting Strategy to Catch a Duck

A hungry bobcat has made his way to the edge of a lake, in the snowiest region of Yellowstone National Park. The next step is to figure out a way to put duck on the menu.

A Bobcat Uses a Different Hunting Strategy to Catch a Cold - would be the only applicable title to this.

LOL!

chussein1 now they Will learn suecide yhe just like humans 😂😂

[@codypeck9125]

Colds happen in winter not from the temperature itself but from humans spending more time indoors with others where germs are more easily transmitted.

[@theykilledjoel1496]

Yeah big clickbait

[@ksoundkaiju9256]

He should just find some near sighted old woman and pretend he's a stray cat

[@garryiglesias4074]

TBH, he'd try to impersonate a stray cat on my door and I'd adopt him. And I'm no old woman.

One time when I was a kid my mom and me were driving down a road at our cabin during the night. We saw what we first thought was a cat. We got out and tried coaxing with here kitty kitty and we realized as we got closer that's no stray cat thats a bobcat

[@thirtyacres7504]

The title should be called, "Hungry and Wet."

[@john256ix3]

Lol

[@skaterdave03]

The Bobcats that live near my apartment are really good at catching rabbits and mice. They also hide in the creek nearby in a drain pipe when the Mallards are around, jump out and grab one when they float by. I've seen them only catch one that way. They are amazing to watch. Suburban Bobcats...

[@darrenmoran3539]

All

[@DeathPoker1]

This barely even had anything to do with ducks..

[@Mustafafilming]

Title is definitely misleading.

[@stprmn]

It tried to catch a rat which probably had a duck inside its belly

[@chriscoppersmith7762]

Not true--the bobcat ducked under cover.

[@heidi7985]

the bobcat got lured there by ducks, tried to hunt a duck, failed hunting a duck, crouched to capture a duck, never hunted a duck.

[@RockMonster1000]

It's really not that funny, but I'm still quacking.

[@MoonS1337]

Bobcats have no business being that cute

[@namesurname6905]

This bobcat is magnificent AF! He just became my new favourite animal...👍

[@redskysaturn75]

the ducks are like, " hey guys lets go over there...paddle paddle paddle..."

[@tatianaivan8363]

The way he just stands there without moving at 3:20 is so cute. It's almost as if he was saying, "... dangit".

[@K9River]

When the narrator said, "...an unexpected target arises," I thought, "An alligator?! WTF?! That is unexpected." Then it was a muskrat. Bummer.

[@MrCMR901]

Muskrat 🐀: “Ohhhh you gotta be quicker than that “ 😂😂😂

[@kaylacoleman9320]

Such a beautiful animal. Sucks he couldn’t catch his meal though. Hopefully he found something further inland!

[@vikramad36]

Or hopelessly die hungry.

Great video, full beauty of great hunter.

[@dougedoug2105]

[@khanhhobusiness]

the only thing worse than being hungry is being hungry and wet

[@ashdav9980]

Saw a bobcat running across my yard while sitting on my porch this summer. It was at the edge of dark and I couldn’t believe my eyes! Keep my small dog close by always. We have beavers too…didn’t know the bobcat would go after them…they can be fearless.

[@Spetsop]

Depends on the side you're on... this time nature was good to the muskrat. But yep, it's a tough world out there for both sides.

[@Critique633]

The ducks’ quack says it all 😂

[@youxarexmyxsunshine]

Smithsonian have the best narrators narrating excellent commentary ever! I could just listen to them for days and still can’t get enough. The way the narrator phrased it, “the worse thing than being hungry, is being hungry and wet.” I ❤️ Smithsonian!

[@MrFiddleedee]

@@jamesgraham2198 numerous youtubers have angled their audience base to get third-party sponsorships. the quality of what they produce is tv-grade and the content isn't found anywhere. shows like Captain Disillusion, Tim Pool, TierZoo are a few of examples of commercial grade television that is available for free on youtube by people that get paid to do it in some for or another. tl;dr yes, youtube revenue.

[@shawnkincheloesr5192]

Wow ! I came on this channel just to see a Bobcat actually catch its prey 😳 I see other videos where people domesticate them, but in part I can see why 🤷🏾‍♂️ They don’t look large enough to take on a fully grown deer, so I am truly truly curious now. 🤔
