More stamina with the predator than prey typical relationship made possible by momma nature

I have watched that happen on my line several times.The marten is focused,the rabbit zig zags.Shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line.
The first time I watched a marten chase and catch a rabbit,what surprized me most was the quick kill.The marten grabs the rabbit behind the ears,and bites the spinal chord-the rabbit goes stiff and thats it.

The Cree word for Marten is Wabushstan-which means rabbit chaser.


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

I love that video. I’ve never seen a kill in action but several times seen a hare on the move and a couple minutes later a marten following the trail

Seems that the poster was taking that from a Faceboot page and not giving credits for it.

He did say that "some of you have seen this" implying that it has been around.

That joker wasn’t just hungry, he was hangry, lol! We don’t have Martins here, but that was an impressive pursuit. The rabbit didn’t stand a chance.

No that was not directed toward you K-zoo
but to the tuber Saskatchewan Outdoors channel as posted in the comments by some relative in Quebec with the posters same last name .Seems the first post had 2.5 million views on faceboot
fact checking going a little behind the scenes never hurt anyone

Cool video,I was bow hunting and had a marten go by chasing a rabbit,didn't see the catch but I heard the marten catch it about 50 yards out of site of my location.I'll say both were fast but the marten was faster fall time no snow two brown blurrs.
