I may be wrong but to me that resembles a lynx.

I’ve seen them cross the roads with snakes in their mouths. Always wondered was it by happenstance or do they seek them out?

I feel like I am having Déjà vu we had this same thread I believe minus the pointing out about rolling, and if I'm correct Beav chimed in or another from Wisconsin pointing out the overlap of the timber rattler and the Canadian lynx in central Wisconsin. As for why they roll in the snake smell I like Mr. Whitman's theory on it.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Any of yall seen the Jaguar manhandle the south American gator video? A cat is the Apex Predator even if other animals have to become the cats prey to realize it.
I have always wondered how rare it is for a man to fight off a big cat and if the animal was in poor shape or made a big mistake for him to even see it comin for him. I actually hope none of us ever get the answer to that question LOL

I learned a lot from Mr. Whitman and hope to keep on learning from his posts and all of this site in general.

He is great and I surely do NOT want to sound like I am tryin to take credit away from him. I do however, note that we have access to some seriously awesome minds in the trappin world. I should screen shot everything Gulo, Bob Jameson, Newt when he is being nice, and Cletus Richards ever post. John Graham too of course and many more.
Whatever your target is, we have great minds willin to share with us. Shout out to Airport Trapper and Boy Named Sue helpin me git up to speed on the hog pennin tech but Hess, Graham, & Sterling have me workin smarter not harder when I can keep the calves out for a spell

Interesting video. Cat knows not to get bit, it takes great care to stay away from the fangs. How does it know that? There would be no learning curve for an animal that size bit by a rattler so as to learn by it's mistakes. One dose in the pipes and the cat would be dead. The cat knows its own speed and is nonchalant in killing the snake. It has done this thing before. I wonder if there is something hardwired or buried in the DNA or brain stem of animals that they know certain things like how to kill a poisonous snake; or maybe they learn it from a parent. Maybe a mixture of both.
