One time when I was a kid my mom and me were driving down a road at our cabin during the night. We saw what we first thought was a cat. We got out and tried coaxing with here kitty kitty and we realized as we got closer that's no stray cat thats a bobcat
@@bakaweiner6956 lol you're both not wrong... depends which human... there's a huge range of very nice and caring people and cruel assholes... probably billions on each category and half the population somewhere in between...
The Bobcats that live near my apartment are really good at catching rabbits and mice. They also hide in the creek nearby in a drain pipe when the Mallards are around, jump out and grab one when they float by. I've seen them only catch one that way. They are amazing to watch. Suburban Bobcats...
Smithsonian have the best narrators narrating excellent commentary ever! I could just listen to them for days and still can’t get enough. The way the narrator phrased it, “the worse thing than being hungry, is being hungry and wet.” I ❤️ Smithsonian!
Saw a bobcat running across my yard while sitting on my porch this summer. It was at the edge of dark and I couldn’t believe my eyes! Keep my small dog close by always. We have beavers too…didn’t know the bobcat would go after them…they can be fearless.
cnon Bobcats can’t die of hypothermia? Only humans? Pretty sure all animals can die of hypothermia.....excluding some insects, maybe invertebrates....but def all mammals

Yea, what a gyp! I guess I’m not the only guy who clicked on this to see the satisfaction of the bobcat licking it’s chops having enjoyed a duck or two.
On the other hand Lynx, isn't that a similar animal with big feet like snowshoes which does well in the snow? Wonder if their ranges overlap & if they can interbreed.
Awww, at 3:20 the bobcat looks so sad and miserable 😢... He's even got wet weeds hanging from his mouth, poor guy lolol What a majestic creature though, hopefully he had some good hunting after that!
He should just find some near sighted old woman and pretend he's a stray cat
TBH, he'd try to impersonate a stray cat on my door and I'd adopt him. And I'm no old woman.
This is the greatest comment I've seen all year :)
@@garryiglesias4074 he might eat any actual Housecats you have
@KSound Kaiju - I don't have any.

A Bobcat Uses a Different Hunting Strategy to Catch a Cold - would be the only applicable title to this.
LOL!
🤣🤣
chussein1 now they Will learn suecide yhe just like humans 😂😂
Colds happen in winter not from the temperature itself but from humans spending more time indoors with others where germs are more easily transmitted.
Yeah big clickbait
Poor guy, wet, cold and no duck :(
I cried
I know 😞 😭😭😭
Yeah, I kinda felt bad for him, too.
duck evades him
Not even a muskrat :(
3:21 Who else felt bad for the cat?
Same here. I bet the Cat eventually realized Humans are nice they will share some food.
@@sirxavior1583 or humans just a bunch of living trash created by God that catches him to be sold on black market....
lol, I more laughed at the ducks laughing at the bobcat... although I also felt sad for him...
@@bakaweiner6956 lol you're both not wrong... depends which human... there's a huge range of very nice and caring people and cruel assholes... probably billions on each category and half the population somewhere in between...
Nope, bobcat just a stalker
Narrator: "The stealthy hunter becomes slow, inefficient."
Bobcat: *looks at camera*
Bobcat: “Oh would you just be QUIET!!!”
Hunter Hooper xD 😂
@Takisch Keana 😂😂😂😂
Bobcat : What did you just say ? How about you come up here and show me how it's done ? Didn't think so...
The title should be called, "Hungry and Wet."
Lol
This barely even had anything to do with ducks..
Title is definitely misleading.
It tried to catch a rat which probably had a duck inside its belly
Not true--the bobcat ducked under cover.
the bobcat got lured there by ducks, tried to hunt a duck, failed hunting a duck, crouched to capture a duck, never hunted a duck.
It's really not that funny, but I'm still quacking.

All
Bobcats have no business being that cute
This bobcat is magnificent AF!
He just became my new favourite animal...👍
HE LOOKED SO SAD WHEN HE GOT RIVER MUCK INSTEAD OF FOOD! I FEEL SO BAD FOR THE CAT!
Same.
The way he just stands there without moving at 3:20 is so cute. It's almost as if he was saying, "... dangit".
When the narrator said, "...an unexpected target arises," I thought, "An alligator?! WTF?! That is unexpected." Then it was a muskrat. Bummer.
All the effort turned to nothing. How cruel nature is
Ah, the laws of nature be a harsh mistress
Uhhh, are you new here?
The zoo doesn't look so bad after all....
Depends on the side you're on... this time nature was good to the muskrat.
But yep, it's a tough world out there for both sides.
No ducks caught....Move along nothing to see here folks
Nothing to see? How often do you see such a beautiful bobcat like this in such HD quality? Not getting the prey is part of nature too.
@@citizenofterra r/whoooosh
What? Nature is beautiful and this cat is not only fascinating but also beautiful. Its amazing isnt it?
unkledoe i wish i can slap the hell outta you
An incredibly beautiful animal and a well made video. 4 minutes well spent.
What a beautiful creature.

you saying that makes me think you never saw an attenborough-narrated documentary.
Old guy narrating those BBC documentaries is best imo.. Mr Attenborough is simply a legend...
I like most animals more than I like most people. Saw a bobcat in the wild once. So cool.
Such a beautiful animal. Sucks he couldn’t catch his meal though. Hopefully he found something further inland!
Or hopelessly die hungry.
😂😅🤣 Lol at the ducks laughing in the background after the bobcat loses the muskrat
Muskrat 🐀: “Ohhhh you gotta be quicker than that “ 😂😂😂
Great video, full beauty of great hunter.
The ducks’ quack says it all 😂
the ducks are like, " hey guys lets go over there...paddle paddle paddle..."
Bobcat: A cat's gotta eat.
I love Bobcats!
Same!
Congratulations on the amazing filming and the masterful narration!
the only thing worse than being hungry is being hungry and wet

The 🦆's had a good laugh!
Misleading title.
My heart will go on is playing in background.
Why don't you upload full episode?
They want you to purchase Smithsonian plus subscription
@@Metacognition88 Which I may do, when my new OLED TV arrives 🙂
Who else thought the bobcat was going to catch something?
Oh you poor, kitty kitty.😂
It's ok, bobcat can try again for his meal.
Azliana Lyana Nope he died of hypothermia shortly after this video was taken.
@@mikekoz68 Shut up it's a cat not a human

Oh sorry, mike died of cancer after he replied to cnon.
Oh wait, my mom is Muslim. And if she’s Muslim, she can’t get a date or a boyfriend she can only get married which she got married with my dad :)
Why does this channel keep putting out these teasers but never full-length videos? I hate this channel!
to get boomers that still have a regulart TV to buy their bloated PPV package

The bobcat sets up a lemonade stand
Beautiful cat ❤
Bobcats are also known as a lynx
Lynx is a different species
That Kitty Looks Like Has Already Been Eating Well
The title should have been "Bobcat watches ducks swim away.
what a very cute creature
Yea, what a gyp! I guess I’m not the only guy who clicked on this to see the satisfaction of the bobcat licking it’s chops having enjoyed a duck or two.
Domino's delivers kitty.
Are we missing the catch a duck scene?
Poor kitty
600 bucks for her coat ha ha
vicent harke NOOOOOOOOOO HOW COULD YOU !!!!!!
Oh the classic cat and canary will never stop
70 years later, Jerry wins again
😾😡(🐭🤣)
That's a beautiful Bobcat hell of a hunter
What was the strategy again? Didn't see it.
Cat pounced and missed the target.
Smithsonian Channel: It is brighter here.
Amazing voice. But we need to see the bobcat eat!
That is beautiful cinematography and the voice is very good (it sounds familiar)
That’s just some old lady’s cat gone wild
If Bobcat not want pet, why Bobcat so cute
awww poor kiddy kat
The narrator sounds like he’s making a Ford commercial.
Cute bobcat 😂😂😂😍😍
still that poor missing-prey bobcat and those trolling ducks that always laughed at him whenever he missed the prey
I read once that tigers are only about 10% efficient as hunters.
Poor little guy! I hope he found something to eat later on.
He mercilessly slaughtered some other animal later. Or he died. Only those two options exist.
Uses a different hunting strategy to catch a duck yet it didn't even hunt the duck, nor catch it. uhhhhh...
That tail is sooo cute
Would it be illegal to own/pet a bobcat?. All vaccines done and everything required by a regular house cat done also.
Royal Society of Ducks approves this video as safe.
There goes 4 minutes of my life I'll never get back!
On the other hand Lynx, isn't that a similar animal with big feet like snowshoes which does well in the snow? Wonder if their ranges overlap & if they can interbreed.

the only thing worse than being hungry and wet is being hungry and wet
and embarrassed.
I have no problem with it but is Gary Busey narrating this?
Think its Michael Douglas.
Bill Pullman is narrating this series.
Its Robert T. Katt, thank you.
Awww, at 3:20 the bobcat looks so sad and miserable 😢... He's even got wet weeds hanging from his mouth, poor guy lolol
What a majestic creature though, hopefully he had some good hunting after that!
Bobcat falls into ice-cold water hungry
Bobcat probably would have caught something if it didn't have a camera crew following it around.
Aren’t they like super far away with big ass zooms?
😂This Bobcat reminds me of North American ground transportation recruiters, relentlessly in search of prey!😂
He big mad after falling into the water ... Daaaamn
Poor Kitty, how can I bring him some food?
*"A Bobcat Uses a Different Hunting Strategy to Catch a Duck"
*Does not catch a duck. Does not even attack the ducks. Attacks a muskrat and fails.
Thank you for the video.
Well, the video title says the bob would get a duck, if not by unusual or different technique. And, I saw no luck at all for the cat.
That cat is hardcore
Hey Smithsonian - where's all the ducks you promised?
Not quite what I was expecting
Poor Bobcat. I'll feed and pet him! 😢🐱
No duck is harmed on this movie. Lol..
Who narrated this
These sands are cold but khajiit feels warmness from your presence
I didn't see him catch anything but pneumonia 🤨
I never like it when they put different shots from different times or even days to somehow make a story!
That was a happy ending.
No it wasnt
ok so is there a video of him catching something or does it eventually starve to death lol
duck: i see you bob
Sad. I was hoping the bobcat would’ve killed a duck or at least the muskrat. Instead we see a lonely, wet, and cold cat.
Looks straight into my soul 1:19 😂
And after, the camera man fed the bobcat some cat food.
Where is this cat? I want to bring him something to eat 😫
I love your cat!
Living in such a cold place has to be imPAWsible
Bet you didn’t see that one coming
You are right. Didn't see that coming. :)
