Now that's what I call, determination. That ermine had some serious endurance to take on a much larger hare. It may have been stronger and faster, but the ermine endured to the very end. Because a that, it got rewarded.

[@hughvane]

I live in NZ, in a rural environment, where we have hares (like the one in this video), rabbits, weasels (ferrets) and stoats. It is highly unusual to see what I think is a stoat, the smallest of the mustelids in NZ, going for prey as large as a hare. It must have been very hungry, or had a litter to feed. This is a very good film catch - well done! [Hear the call of the shining cuckoo in the background?] People ask why it bites the back of the neck. Mostly to avoid getting kicked and raked by the legs of its prey, also to avoid being bitten.

[@jmaker5224]

+hughvane Weasels are stoats.Just going to correct you

[@hughvane]

+JMaker One is weasily identified, the other is stoatally different.

[@jmaker5224]

I see what you did there! Nice

[@nba6829]

Have you saw a black footed ferret

[@hughvane]

No b-f ferrets here in NZ, they are native to Nth America. Ours is the common ferret or polecat, which interbreed naturally. A major pest, especially to flightless birds and poultry, but not as bad as the stoat (or weasel) that is shown in the video.

Rex Wort It could fight or not fight. Either way, it knew it would die. Any animal that's in a situation where it's being attacked by a predator, deserves to die. Obviously they are somewhere they probably know they shouldn't be. Most of the time, the animals that get eaten by predators are stupid young juvenile animals or babies that don't listen to it's mother. I'm sure this rabbit was young and dumb. The smart prey animals stay clear of predators.

An ermine's canines are not long enough to bite through a rabbit's spinal cord unless it were to pretty much chew through its neck. most prey larger than the ermine die from shock and partial nerve damage than actually having their spinal cord being severed. In prey equal to or smaller than the ermine in size, the spinal cord is severed by a proper bite.
