[@SaftonYT]

It makes sense, really. Minks are tenacious, agile, and sleek-bodied. The cat was clearly having trouble getting a solid bite on it, especially since it was hanging just off its snout while clawing at its face. When it's a question of food, any predator will give up a potential meal that looks to be more trouble than it's worth. The cat may very well have been able to "win" if it had kept at it, but would have expended so much energy struggling and sustained so many injuries (even if largely superficial, they add up in the wild) in the process that the sustenance it would have gotten from eating the mink wouldn't have been worth it. Everything is a risk-reward ratio in predation.

[@SaftonYT]

Top Kat Fair enough. Thanks for the info.

[@beersmurff]

+Top Kat Do you have a link to back up your claim? This is a show from the 80's, aired on German channel ProSieben or Pro7.

[@HeR0BrInEi5aLiVE]

Karakoth You can see that the mink wasn't using its back legs and couldn't move around much after the bobcat let go, usually that happens when an animal has suffered damage to its spine.

[@beersmurff]

[@stevenswm9844]

People who do not know much about Minks (which are MOST people...some good examples are in this comment section), totally underestimate their defensive fighting skills, tenaciousness, and pound for pound superiority. All predatory animals in the wild hunt for prey that can be killed fairly easily without too much risk of injury to themselves. For a cat this size, taking on a mink might win him a meal, but cost him his life in the long run. The CAT WAS SMART ENOUGH to realize this before sustaining too much injury, and he backed off...regardless of WHETHER OR NOT YOU PEOPLE ARE SMART ENOUGH to ascertain the situation. And NO, it had nothing to do with any odor the mink used...it had to do with the cat having his face chewed off bit by bit! Oh, and as for some other footage of this cat actually winning the fight...produce the footage - either put up or shut up!

[@KitsunenoHibi]

MrDenizen The mink's fur undoubtedly helped protect it from the bobcat's raking. If you look at the snow, there's no blood; minks and other weasel family creatures have thick, plush fur, sort of like an otter. It's so they can swim without freezing or sinking. It can also protect their skin, which is already pretty tough to begin with, since they hunt animals like muskrat, rats, and rabbits, who are known for their nasty bites. So that mink's biggest worry while it still had the strength to fight was being crushed by the cat's jaws, so it spun around like mad and bit the bobcat's face a lot. In the end, the cat probably decided the little psycho was too much punishment for not enough food! XD

Your intelligence is about equal to a house cat, so you at least have that going for you. But you are still quite the moron. Domestic cats are a nuisance animal and their population needs to be greatly thinned out in developed countries, that is a fact. The best thing we all can do is to trap them and humanely kill them. I do this quite frequently myself and it is very beneficial for the environment. I have trapped somewhere between 40 and 45 cats in the last 7 or 8 years in my backyard. I made a special airtight box that I put them in and I have a hose which I attach to the tailpipe of my car. It works very well, and I'm sure even you would agree that this is the best way to eliminate these nuisance animals so they will not destroy the native animals.

[@1BeGe]

That is a Bobcat. Canada Lynx has shorter tail, less distinct spots, MUCH bigger ear tufts, leg length to the point of looking downright awkward, and the hind quarter difference compared to the front is not something easily missed. That is an OBVIOUS bobcat. Not even close. And to the other two arguing on here: yes, a bobcat is technically a type of lynx. Colloquially though, "lynx" refers to the Canada Lynx in North America, not to bobcat.

BobCat is like "damn you stink like your cousin, the skunk"... You all forget that they squirt stench like skunks because they are all Mustelids!

[@wheelerking8380]

I hope for comedy’s sake this guy is saying some random shit... “If you marry a woman, you will lose your life...maybe more” “She’s not yours...it’s just your turn” “You will become #4 or #5 on the list of important things in life if she has a kid” Ya know....random truthful things

[@mix3k818]

What could possibly go wrong?

[@king-xerxus7040]

Bob: ‘I came to eat you and look what you done!’ Mink: ‘I rather be somebody’s stoll then be your meal!’

[@admirninta8868]

That bobcat was like "who's hunting who"?

[@MrNotshowingmyname]

Sorry to burst your guys' bubbles, but that mink did not survive. As others have pointed out, it took mortal wounds here. You can hear bones crunching at 0:57. The clip at the end of the mink running away is just cut from earlier footage before the encounter. Nature is too brutal for happy, feel-good documentaries.

[@jancegamodia4067]

Yeah it has to be...

[@alphonsozorro7952]

The mink was too tough to be preyed upon. It fights back, and the Lynx disengages. You can hear the mink squawking, so it was still alive when the lynx left. If it was badly wounded, the Lynx would have finished it off and made a meal, instead of leaving.

[@soramirez5473]

@@alphonsozorro7952 yup

[@virgilpine9712]

Minks are members of the weasel family which pound-for-pound are among the best fighters in the world. Basically, the feline and weasel family have that distinction.

[@just_an_empty_sign]

No they're members of the Mustelidae family there is no fucking weasel family you pretentious twit

[@soramirez5473]

just like you can say in laymen's terms that Canids are the dog family and Felids are the cat family and Ursids are the bear family.. Mustelids are, yea, considered the weasel family.. not the ferret family, not the badger family, the weasel family..

[@andraskovacs517]

The mink made dinner too expensive for the bobcat.

[@anonhomie4049]

They're both soo cute.

[@TotalMishap]

I doubt the mink survived the attack. Watch at 0:59, it appears the mink's back is broken. It doesn't appear to be able to use its back legs.

[@reginaldacklin7653]

+TotalMishap But then you see the mink running off.

[@claudiorojas6764]

It was edited his back was broken.

[@reginaldacklin7653]

Ahhh. If that's the case, then kinda sad. :(

[@conradverner9641]

so they found another mink and another samelooking disoriented bobcat with bleeding nose like if he was bitten there to make it look like happy ending??sounds like too much work. Ur skepticism comes to the absurd. its just german documentary and doesent seem like american hollywood bullshit

[@claudiorojas6764]

+Conrad Verner This is not Hollywood its the wild Life! At sec 0:08 the Mink is really close to the camera the video gets cut and the mink is really far at 0:11 (edited) at sec 58 the cat snap the mink's back turn up the sound you can heard it. After that the mink goes crazy aggressive bites the cat in the face the cat gives up, the mink can't jump properly for the rest of the video until they fix it (edited) the last scene is what they cut off on 0:08-0:11 the mink trying to get away from the cat before the fight started. Nice touch by the producers for the plastic perfect world we live in!

[@JamesRobertSmith]

That's a lynx, not a bobcat.

[@Monscent]

A Bobcat is a Lynx. There are four kinds of Lynx. But I guess you mean that's an Eurasian Lynx?

[@JamesRobertSmith]

Yes. It would be like calling a lion a panther. Yeah the genus is right. But one does not generally refer to an African lion as a panther.

[@dimitrioszagreas2338]

Lions are Panthers Pnathera leo and you have Panthera tigris for tiger and the list goes on...Damn i glad that i have been born Greek.you use the Greek word Panther without knowing the meaning of it.all big cats are Panthers.and Lynx is a greek word to.the bobcat is a Lynx rufus

[@mikeleikam2892]

philipee32 it's what is known as a bobcat. In the fur market they are called lynx cats. A Canadian lynx is bigger and has huge paws for walking on snow. Lynx don't have the spots that bobcats have.

[@lanhod]

when your snack fights back. damn, its crazy out there 😬

[@chadgdry3938]

Expensive meal! That mink, if it loses, will inflict serious injuries to the cat. In nature, not so serious injuries can result in infection and predation by other critters. Good video capture, but I suspect that cat had not come across a mink before and you can see that in the initial engagement, it is considering a retreat as it perform internal math on the damage it might sustain. What was really surprising was that the mink didn't pursue the cat as the cat disengaged. Minks are link natures kill bags... give them half a chance and they will take a chunk out of you.. cute and cuddly looking aside...

[@markhepworth4804]

If that Bobcat is really hungry,that mink is dead.

[@Samus1234567890]

If it was willing to pay the butcher's bill, yes. It would have been injured though, most likely, although not severely. Probably get it's face half bit off :(

[@AnonyMous-ql9nj]

Candid i got you on Street cat but a owl cannot in any way 1v1 a mink, this is obviously what your opinion is and what you think not facts, a mink if grabbed by a owl can just roll over and start biting him or flee. You obviously do not know about this stuff and confuse facts for what you think. Please read more and look at facts as this is blatantly false. This comment was purely annoying to me as you know nothing about this whatsoever.

[@ryansandigan7184]

"I have seen a street tom cat kill a mink" Yeah right...

[@stricknine8623]

If he were slightly hungry, this should be an easy meal,...But it's a mink !!

[@boxingguru4014]

Dumbass. Mink are so nimble amd ferocious. I highly doubt any house cat or tom cat could kill a mink. A lynx or bobcat would make an easy snack of a tom cat/house cat and you just watched this video of a lynx/bobcat trying to kill a mink and failed... walked away... but a tom cat can? Lmao. Good joke! Also.... minks kill muskrats, much, MUCH bigger than any rat.. a cat would likely be badly hurt trying to kill a muskrat but the mink kills them for lunch. Check out "joseph parker the mink man" Weasal family are badass. Seen a Tasmanian devil or something from the weasel family trying to kill am elk, was all over it, biting it to shit. Video is on youtube somewhere. Check out honey badgers too.

[@robertbertram5158]

I think its funny that almost every breed of terrier could kill this mink in seconds yet a bobcat can't at all?

[@lmaoparkes3199]

Most preadators in the wild just wont risk an injury that could debillitate them in any way . Im assuming the mink had a good hold on the cats nose and thought fuck this shit aint worth the hassle ! A terrier has been bred with no fear, safe in the knowlledge that its going home to a nice bowl of pedigree chum and a warm bed, or wost case scenario a trip to the vet to deal with any sustained injury that could otherwise result in severe infection or possibly a fatal one if it were a wild animal !!

[@Frostburn101]

Because its fat thats why its weight cost lot of its stamina.

[@dyndu2074]

Yeah, terriers were bred for killing small animals. Both their technique and build is perfect for that role.

[@stevenforman3044]

Thanks a bunch for this. :D

[@nicholaspiazza8687]

This reminds me of Walt Disney’s True-Life Adventures: In Beaver Valley, but with the American Mink and Bobcat. 🦫

[@surfsnowgreen]

Bobcat: "Easy meal!" Mink: "Come on over. You'll walk over, but you'll be limpin back..."

[@BobbyTucker]

I think that bobcat is trying to figure out a way to back down from this mean little shit without losing any of his dignity. Pound for pound that little mink is closer to being meaner than a Badger and a Bobcat will do everything in its power to avoid a Badger.

[@Rarestrarities]

Cat looks around and is like, “Nobody saw me get my butt kicked, right?”

[@user-zu2wz3xk2q]

Απίστευτο!! έδωσε τεράστια μάχη με τον υπέρτατο κυνηγό!

[@browsman2328]

What an epic fight, it looks like the bobcat has a bite wound under his left eye.

[@evilkirk2490]

Wow that little Mink did not take any shit from that Bob Cat! That cat looked totally confused saying WTF? Walked off

[@utopianear700]

At 1:06 that angry feeling after you try Foreign spicy food and have no other option but to give up because it is too spicy and hot. It is so crazy spicy it hurts you.

[@rwoosh1925]

Excellent footage .

Bubsy the Bobcat; “What could possibly go wrong?”

Unreal...those little minks pound for pound are probably the toughest mammals on earth. Even moreso than their cousins the wolverine or honey badger.

[@ModernWorld.]

That lynx paws make it a lot more agile in the snow

[@spaceghost4474]

Bobcat...I know good and well there's something less painful out here. I think I'll try a nice fuzzy Bunny. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@oliveryt7168]

Crazy that the mink actually survived this...

[@pale_profile7237]

Died later, 😢

[@jamesdunn9714]

That bobcat bit off more than he could chew, literally.
