Mustelids are little badasses of Earth, my God their boldness and ruthlessness is incredible on a slightly scary level. Poor lynx, swans, and other creatures.

[@lutriula]

That was such a great video! Mustelids are my favorite group of animals because I used to have ferrets growing up. Altho domesticated, they have very weird way of bonding with humans. Just as they play rough with each other, they do it with humans to. No matter if it's their family or guests, blood is easily drawn. But they also always have one human whom they will never bite. In play they would just pretend like they're going to but never will. No matter how scared or uncomfortable they would be (talking about vet visits) that would be the one human who never needed thick protective glooves. I had 7 ferrets, knew a few more, and only 1 didn't feel the need for violence, like you'd expect from a pet.

So yes, Mustelids are an impressive group of animals, but I think the video is rather deceptive about their supposed dominance in the wild. Taking the wolverine for example, it is a scavenger primarily, not a predator. The gray wolf is its number one predator, also being killed by both black bears, grizzlies, and cougars. The weasel family has an impressive ability to compete with animals larger than itself, but it is pure hyperbole to imply that this family is essentially an entire genus of top order predators.

I run a cat rescue in Ontario, Canada and 3 years ago on the property I live on suddenly all of the groundhogs were a mess, they had broken legs, and they had injuries I couldn't figure out. I live in an area of my city that is in greenspace its not unusual to have close-up personal relationships with the wildlife as the wild buns use my backyard to hutch kits and the kits were just dead in the hutches...it was mother nature but at the same time I was seriously concerned cause I couldn't figure out what was going on until... I use trail cams and set them up under the supervision of a licensed wildlife rehabber. What I got on the camera actually I want to emulate video titles here😁 "Shocked the Scientist" I captured a shot of a weasel species invasive to our area and found out that the weasels do like to PLAY with prey. The poor wee hogs were being trapped and attacked in their underground tunnels that led to our shed where they more or less lived. I gathered from the rehabber who supervised that the weasels like FRESH meat so they not necessarily play but injure the victim and keep the victim unable to defend themselves or relocate so that when its time to eat them they are like their own fresh meat storage container...you know I run animal rescue a lot of things don't get to me anymore but that information...yeah well 🤮 It was a crazy summer, I picked up a lot of dead bodies, it was a massacre and all of it was ONE weasel that we saw on my cams over and over and never trapped it was the weasel we actually wanted to trap and remove. Never happened once I picked up the bodies, trapped the injured hogs and we filled the tunnels and the hutches BAM no weasel since. Now I have a coyote that waits for the kits to run out of the hutches so he can pick them off like M&M's ... isn't mother nature charming?😒

and spotted hyena's closest relatives are mustelidaes a genome which includes all species from the weasels' family. if someone keeps ferrets at home and listen to their constant vocalizations then he can find out it resembles a hyena's laughter very much. also weasel's bite force is enormous for such a small animal. it comes from the proportions of weasel's skull where jaws constitutes the minority of skull's length, leaving the remaining area of long neurocranium for anchors of big jaw muscles. whole this structure acts as a lever, similarly to a tool called bolt cutters.

I see a lot of weasels here in Alaska. My grandma used to tell me not to mess with them, or they will dig into my heart.

No worse than the stories told to children all over the world down through the ages. Think about Werewolves etc etc make weasels eating into your heart seem pretty tame..

[@nikiTricoteuse]

Imagine a country at the bottom of the world where the native fauna was almost exclusively birds and that, because there were no mammalian predators, many of them had lost the ability to fly and mostly nested on the ground. Now picture that same country a couple of hundred years after the colonisers introduced cats, dogs, weasels, stoats and ferrets. Here in Aotearoa/ New Zealand our native birds are being absolutely decimated by introduced predators. Some are feral cats but, the vast majority of damage is done by the mustelids. Interesting to learn that they have underground caches for prey because, conveniently for them kiwi nest in underground burrows and that would also explain why they decimate the entire burrow, kiwi, egg and all, often without eating any of it. If you're wondering why on earth anyone would be insane enough to introduce killing machines like them here, it was because the early white settlers had introduced rabbits as a source of easy food. The rabbits in their homelands, were kept in check by predators but, here they had NO natural predators and bred in their millions. The mustelids were introduced to take care of the rabbit problem. Sadly, they took almost no time at all to decide that, a bird sitting on its egg in a burrow, that not only had no natural defences against it and didn't even know it was a predator, was a MUCH easier target than something that would run away and or fight back. The rest as they say, is history.

Nature is like a street fight, it's wonderfully unpredictable. And Mustelidae is the most unpredictable family of predators, they're full of aggression and will take on anything. One day you see a mongoose chase a group of notorious macaques and eat one of them, one day you saw a mongoose clear a pen of chickens, and one day you see a mongoose get eaten by chickens after a failed raid attempt.

[@martintodd9944]

I used to hunt when a teenager with dogs and ferrets, I had a really cute little polecat that was so friendly with people but always wanted to fight my dogs and slept in the rabbits carcass after eating. They have no fear at all, the problem with hunting rabbit with them is they'd eat a kill and then sleep for a couple hours and we'd dig it up. It was a balance, if you toon it out hungry it would kill and eat, if you took it out after eating it wouldn't hunt(they don't kill indiscriminately like that in captivity, even when used for hunting and used to live food, fioxes do though) so we had to feed them a few hours before and let it sleep. You could get muzzles for them but I didn't like using it, I did have a ferret finder beacon on it though to dig it out. A lot of ferret hunters used nets over the rabbit setts, and I would if a farmer wanted a cull, but if I was hunting for food for my dogs and ferrets or to sell the food, I would have lurchers near the sett on quick release leashes and put the ferret in to scare them out for the dog but this polecat would always try to sneak past the sett and go for the dogs. It always let me catch it and push it back in but it amazed how it wanted to attack something dozens of times its size. Before I started working with farmers and gamekeepers I poached and a pal found a young stoat in a trapdoor tunnel trap that a farmer had set up around his pheasant roost and raised it as a ferret and it was a great worker and not at vicious and came to him after each hunt.

[@yaeldragwyla8170]

A note on weasels "killing all the birds in the henhouse": Weasels love to catch, kill, and eat *rats*. When you find a weasel in the henhouse and blood all over, you can bet that weasel was going rats in there. Rats love to kill helpless birds, such as chickens confined in a cage. So if you find a weasel in there, very likely there were rats in there and the weasel went after the rats and killed it in there, hence all the blood.

[@randym7961]

If you look you can find videos of Weasels slaughtering chickens. What's worse is cats as they are bigger and can do more damage. You all too often hear people say animals just kill what they will eat and that is BS many animals especially weasels,cats etc will kill for the fun of it . A mountain Lion gets into a flock of sheep and will kill until it is too tired to kill any more . What's worse is House Cats, in North America birds and small animals here did not evolve to deal with these small cats and Billions are slaughtered every year by this invasive species ..

Dude no Cat just Fisher. Many years ago in the Black Hills of SD in late November I came across the carcass of a dead Doe Whitetail deer , She was frozen solid and I notice there were a couple holes of maybe a few inch across in her body. Looking at the closest hole I saw it was a tunnel into her body and when I looked at the second hole out popped a pissed off Weasel ! The little critter had made his meal into his home . The deer was up under a down tree so not noticeable to Magpies or Crows who would have called for Coyotes to come tear it open so they could eat. I stopped back a few times over the next couple weeks and it still had the little devil living in and eating the carcass .. Now the little monster didn't kill the deer she had likely been hit by a car on a road a quarter mile away and had crawled up under the tree and died . Kind of gruesome if you think about it living in your winter larder lol
