Love these old documentaries thank you ❤

[@joseluisrobles6650]

I don't see why anyone would dislike this. Pure goodness here.

[@crittercosner2877]

This made me feel comfortable and cozy, as well as wishing I had a farm.

[@rhys5343]

I watched this with my 8 week old polecat 🤣she slept half way through it.dont blame her it was relaxing to watch

[@kevinward5849]

I love polecats & ferrets so much. Thanks for uploading , great documentary showing how all the wildlife interacts with each other ,& the working farm , love nature & watching one of my favourite dog breeds , the smart Border Collie in action.

[@paulhampson8496]

old ones are the best reminds me of childhood brilliant

[@buskingkarma2503]

My brother had two of these. They was called,Smokey and Bandid! We lived in the city,but he would get out dad to drive him miles to the countryside,so he could take them Rabbiting! Or sometimes even catch the train if he had to!😆 he loved them pole cats! There little graves,including small stones with there names on,are still in my parents garden,40 years later!😂 great little creatures though! and extremely intelligent!👌

I had a good friend and ferret that both passed away last year. My friend and I would put this on often and say that the polecat in this was our ferret's old relative. We loved watching this so much. The ending always got me, too. Something about a ferret having to leave off on it's own just breaks my heart. I hope it lived a happy and full life like its mother.

[@Girl-Supersonicboy]

The cows in the beginning are all like: *What the heck is this thing?!*

[@seanb7327]

im watching this while my 2 month old ferret is fast asleep in a warm blanket, not having to deal with all of that so that i will have to keep letting her know that she jas got it good hahaha

[@gangsterferrets3199]

Enjoyed that ,its not often polecats are filmed in the wild , I dont have any near me only my own European polecats 😁

[@penpru62]

Stunning filming, thank you.

[@Pyrrhic537]

Loved this.

[@Torbaywildlife]

What a fantastic film thank you for uploading.

[@conniehusband1365]

Absolutely LOVE your choice of music!

[@nataliejane660]

that was super fun to watch, I enjoyed it! thanks! I want to live there, seems like a beautiful life.

[@ThaRealChuckD]

Technically, it should be called "The Dog that came in from the Cold."

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Sucn a magnificent and ,stunning place!

[@thepulsehot]

من أروع الأفلام الوثائقية؛وأمتعها، كأنك تشاهد قصة ريفية. شكرا جزيلا.

[@TarsonTalon]

It was fun to watch. However, I would have liked some mention that the polecats do a better job of keeping the rats out than the cat can. It would have been 'earning their keep'.

[@darrenpulleng2789]

I wanted to kno if farmers like them being around for that reason.

[@kimberlainodriscoll4781]

A few years ago a chipmunk got into the house. I had 5 ferrets at the time (I have 7 now). My deaf ferret spotted the chipmunk and gave chase. He matched that chipmunks sudden change of direction like a seasoned hunter. Unfortunately, the other ferrets joined in. It was like youth soccer. As they all chased the chipmunk like a dog pack, they ran into each other. The chipmunk was able to get away. It was hilarious. My deaf ferret looked really upset because if they stayed out of it, he'd have caught the little bugger.

[@conniehusband1365]

An enjoyable journey. Thankyou!

[@andreag3532]

I have 4 polecats . They are beautiful animals

[@chronotriggerfan]

Polecats here, please stay and be astounded by cuteness. Ferrets > Cats any day.

[@miss.djdapperdonakaapril6795]

Anyone else likes to watch this with their pet ferrets?

[@KEVWARD63]

My Jill, Arro , looks like the mum polecat , her dad is more polecat , I also own her mum Leka , she is Arctic Fox in coat colour , but she and her daughter scrap a bit !!

[@WristCutGauze]

Ferrets and polecats are almost the same animal and can interbreed. In fact much of the wild population of polecats contains domestic ferret DNA from ferrets that were housed outdoors and mated with wild polecats. Domestic ferrets have been domesticated for about 3000 years.

[@wildwolverineblack6689]

love this thanks

[@guidododo4822]

they're adorable. im sure they hekp with the rats runing around.

[@jonathanwhite460]

1991 polecats just in North Wales,2023 polecats wide spread..best thing ever for rat control.

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

I did nit know these beasties were still among them...so happy...

[@toddoconnor840]

I want one of those little lambs

[@goognamgoognw6637]

beautifully harmonious and simple documentary from not too long ago. A time without the plague of the computerized phone.

[@jaymesc4436]

fuck you

[@Imthenegro1]

agreed

[@Shnizzelfritz]

Ok boomer

[@Shnizzelfritz]

@HECTIC VON KAOS people born in the 80s weren't making documentaries in the 80s, they were learning how to take a shit. This particular documentary was made by someone born in 1935. It also has nothing to do with my comment, which poked fun at the shitty anti-technology take in the parent comment.

[@Shnizzelfritz]

@HECTIC VON KAOS you brought it up lmao

[@justinstyle7741]

Fajny dokument:)

[@KEVWARD63]

@ around 37.00 , I wanted a polecat to take care of ratty , ....in an Al Pacino sense !!

[@leslieivarson]

same here!!

[@Tatianna211]

That was adorable :)

[@WinglessNemesis]

❤

[@lynnleigha580]

Church bells go off every hour on the hour in my town, like a cookoo clock

[@heatherstub]

Oh how I miss that! I used to live in France, and we had two churches quite close to us and a third one further away, so I always loved hearing the church bells ringing every quarter of an hour! It sure beats loud motorcycles, and I can also do without the constant barrage of sirens from the police and others here in Atlanta, Georgia. I'd love to get away from here all together.

[@humargadah427]

it is so nice thanks

[@lynnleigha580]

Im learning more about birds and farming than about polecats, wtf?!?!

[@micvili7527]

I have a pet polecat and I chuck em in a pillow case to make him go to sleep otherwise he gets in to the rubbish and makes a hell of amess when everyone's a sleep

[@GamerGarden]

basically same scenario as wolves and dogs

[@demonicangel9794]

My polecat just walked across my laptop keyboard now I can't get full screen to work!

[@MarcoSuperNova2784]

Mustelidae members of weasel familly: definition of carnivorous mammals whole are small în size, but deadlier and dangerous hunters who proved that size doesn't even matter for them.

[@aurn16]

Animal Society's much more entertaining and fascinating than human society's (2019) kinda like a quote I made don't mind me

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

I thought they were entirely extinct in the Isles...

[@robfall2463]

pole cat fairet albino cat but normally cat rat gain up in number atact cat so best option is pole cat or snake

[@westley209west9]

Snake take to long to go hungry the rats outnumber them by too many

[@JamesTaylor-yh9rl]

yeeek so kawai.also prob usefull if there is rats and mice about

[@slimeronio]

No cats here, move along.

[@ktlyn0]

No cats here you say? well I'm not so sure about that ... 40:20 :0

[@TheTheskylar404]

This video would be interesting if it wasn't for the narrator not being so obsessed with the damn birds. Its was 6-8 Minutes related to the polecats and the rest was some birds and some sheep.

[@goognamgoognw6637]

Your post is obnoxious , many people love birds, i do and i thoroughly enjoyed every seconds of those birds. Don't think your own selfish preferences have to be everyone's .

[@gamerprotv1625]

That was my same thing to say it was 6-7-8 min showing of polecat the rest burning tree dogs and showing birds

[@declanclegg12]

I did find it rather uneducational as I was expecting to find information about pole cats not farm life

[@tryingharder6392]

Agree with you but without the obvious anger. Get a grip and do some posting yourself instead of griping about lack of your special interest in other people's postings. Almost ingrate.

[@moneygeeza633]

I wanted to see more of the polecat

[@UniteForgetLeftRight]

I bet these are actually ferrets and this is staged to simulate natural behavior. Its cool though

[@WASD282]

Based on their coats I would say they are actual polecats or polecat/ferret hybrids.

[@hinduyuvashaktinirbhaysing1604]

Y

[@w.danwilmarth5715]

can't watch as it plays for 7-8 seconds and stops for 2-3 times that...no point in wasting my time

[@tryingharder6392]

Then the problem is at your end as it plays well here.
