@@adannielsen2442 I won't be surprised if mink seen running away at the end was another mink. Lots of editing used to happen in these animal documentaries to create drama.
I think the cat underestimated the size of the fight in that mink. It was amazing how even though the mink tried to escape, it turned the tables and went on the offensive. Those little things take no shit.
Astro_ Sloth nah minks are like smaller badgers. Lions won't mess with badgers. My guess is this bobcat hasn't seen a mink before. And won't try this again.
Actually, the documentary mentions a "Tal der Bieber" which translates to "valley of the beavers". The way it is said makes it sound like it is a documentary about beavers and this scene with the mink and the lynx is the random shot about what happens around them.
These creatures getting bigger wouldnt be a problem since they'll lose agility. It's because the higher the weight, the greater the energy it needs and the lesser movement it could give.
The hole weasel family is made of that same stuff. You forgot their top weasel: wolverine. Same abikity to take blows (bites), and jaws that crack bones. (It's mainly a carcass eater)
Wow, I think Bobcats are more badass than Lions. Why? Lions are scared of Mongoose while Bobcats fight a Mink, and Minks could kill pelicans, hawks, falcons and swans.
Minks are the little cousins of the wolverine. Not the strongest around but they're just as fearless and they won't back down when they're attacked by much stronger predators.
+Alrune La Brune.....Their jaws, like Badgers and Wolverines, will crush any flesh or bone they get those jaws on. I'm sure the sample bite he gave the Bobcat was enough to make it think twice
+Hassassin Assassin Ehhhhhhhh, that video has been edited. Looked to me like the lynx broke the mink's back. (loss of function of rear legs) The video shown afterwards of the mink running off was filmed just prior to the lynx making it's appearance chasing down the mink. (note the background details) I root for the mink, but sadly, I suspect it probably died of it's injuries.
It makes sense, really. Minks are tenacious, agile, and sleek-bodied. The cat was clearly having trouble getting a solid bite on it, especially since it was hanging just off its snout while clawing at its face. When it's a question of food, any predator will give up a potential meal that looks to be more trouble than it's worth. The cat may very well have been able to "win" if it had kept at it, but would have expended so much energy struggling and sustained so many injuries (even if largely superficial, they add up in the wild) in the process that the sustenance it would have gotten from eating the mink wouldn't have been worth it. Everything is a risk-reward ratio in predation.
+Top Kat Do you have a link to back up your claim? This is a show from the 80's, aired on German channel ProSieben or Pro7. The original documentary might have been edited to look like this, but the UA-cam version is the exact copy of the one shown in the 80's.

+Karasu So? I didnt claim otherwise. I corrected the claim that the YT vid was edited by poster. Which is false. If anything, it was edited in the original show in the 80's or 90's. Or do you have a link to another original version of it?
People who do not know much about Minks (which are MOST people...some good examples are in this comment section), totally underestimate their defensive fighting skills, tenaciousness, and pound for pound superiority. All predatory animals in the wild hunt for prey that can be killed fairly easily without too much risk of injury to themselves. For a cat this size, taking on a mink might win him a meal, but cost him his life in the long run. The CAT WAS SMART ENOUGH to realize this before sustaining too much injury, and he backed off...regardless of WHETHER OR NOT YOU PEOPLE ARE SMART ENOUGH to ascertain the situation. And NO, it had nothing to do with any odor the mink used...it had to do with the cat having his face chewed off bit by bit! Oh, and as for some other footage of this cat actually winning the fight...produce the footage - either put up or shut up!
I've personally heard stories of bob cats fighting off packs of coyotes. Which is pretty insane.So that may give you a reference to how powerful a mink is to thwart off a bob cat.
I thought it was game over when the bobcat had the mink in it's grasp, whilst laying on it's side clawing at it with it's back claws... then the little fella beat the bobcat off. Impressive stuff.
MrDenizen The mink's fur undoubtedly helped protect it from the bobcat's raking. If you look at the snow, there's no blood; minks and other weasel family creatures have thick, plush fur, sort of like an otter. It's so they can swim without freezing or sinking. It can also protect their skin, which is already pretty tough to begin with, since they hunt animals like muskrat, rats, and rabbits, who are known for their nasty bites. So that mink's biggest worry while it still had the strength to fight was being crushed by the cat's jaws, so it spun around like mad and bit the bobcat's face a lot. In the end, the cat probably decided the little psycho was too much punishment for not enough food! XD

I've cared for foxes, monkeys, crocodilians, large snakes and many others and until this day have not met an animal aggressive and unpredictable to this degree.
That Mink probably died from internal injuries 1-2 days later, the adrenaline is what allowed it to ignore its injuries and run away. That Lynx wasn't messing around.
Defeated nothing? As any apex predator didn't wanted to go for hard meal, he stopped. Mink put veryxgood fight but bobcat has easily the upperhand and without so much reason, just gave up. He looks juvenile so (boncat). And the mink, due to his spine movements, provably died few moments later on injuries.
@@samwisehuluberlu2210 You can't magically make your spine work after it's severed. Feral hogs try to routinely. The bobcat lost because it was too weak or in pain from the mink to bite through. The mink was attacked randomly, the bobcat did quit with nothing but face damage to show for it, the mink ran away in the opposite directionafter fighting for its LIFE and you don't think the cat was defeated. I mean I see that English isn't your first language, but that's not really relevant.
@@kevindunlap5525 I'm sure you've said in your comment that "the mink was fighting for its life" & not the bobcat, 😂for the bobcat, the worst thing that could've happen is a few minor scratches & bites that would eventually heal, for the mink it would've lost it's life if the bobcat was as persistent & determined as the mink was to live, I've seen other videos of other bobcats easily killing minks.

Bobcat was young 2. here it was really the bite. 3.Often kill Bobcat minks, since does not disturb any chemical stench. 4.es always gives exceptions, in all animals. The Mink has in America many and strong competition and enemies, other marten, hawk, coyote etc. The selection of aggression and courage has ensured its existence.
Your intelligence is about equal to a house cat, so you at least have that going for you. But you are still quite the moron. Domestic cats are a nuisance animal and their population needs to be greatly thinned out in developed countries, that is a fact. The best thing we all can do is to trap them and humanely kill them. I do this quite frequently myself and it is very beneficial for the environment. I have trapped somewhere between 40 and 45 cats in the last 7 or 8 years in my backyard. I made a special airtight box that I put them in and I have a hose which I attach to the tailpipe of my car. It works very well, and I'm sure even you would agree that this is the best way to eliminate these nuisance animals so they will not destroy the native animals.
That is a Bobcat. Canada Lynx has shorter tail, less distinct spots, MUCH bigger ear tufts, leg length to the point of looking downright awkward, and the hind quarter difference compared to the front is not something easily missed. That is an OBVIOUS bobcat. Not even close. And to the other two arguing on here: yes, a bobcat is technically a type of lynx. Colloquially though, "lynx" refers to the Canada Lynx in North America, not to bobcat.
All of these animals in the weasel family are incredibly tough and dangerous. Their jaws are capable of crushing bone, they have huge claws and they can fight much bigger animals. The mink is small but his larger cousins including the wolverine and fisher or fisher cat or marten are badass. Fishers will even attack kids and occasionally adults.
The mink got fatal wounds. It looks like the movie got Disneyficated, to make it look like the mink survived where the producer clipped to the final scene, with the Bobcat walking away.
Jeff Sartain you don’t know enough about mink. They’re a mustelid, same as otter. They’ve got thick dense pelts for staying warm in water... I’m sure the bobcat and mink walked away equal. No blood means no mortal wound.
Especially since cat bites are particularly infectious even if it doesn't bleed out from internal punctures. Most birds that escape a cat after being wounded die from infection rather quickly.
Mama Bobcat forgot to tell her kitten he can prey on this and that animal, but don't mess with those Mustelids. They're more trouble than they are worth.
Minks are members of the weasel family which pound-for-pound are among the best fighters in the world. Basically, the feline and weasel family have that distinction.
just like you can say in laymen's terms that Canids are the dog family and Felids are the cat family and Ursids are the bear family.. Mustelids are, yea, considered the weasel family.. not the ferret family, not the badger family, the weasel family..
I hope for comedy’s sake this guy is saying some random shit... “If you marry a woman, you will lose your life...maybe more” “She’s not yours...it’s just your turn” “You will become #4 or #5 on the list of important things in life if she has a kid” Ya know....random truthful things
Sorry to burst your guys' bubbles, but that mink did not survive. As others have pointed out, it took mortal wounds here. You can hear bones crunching at 0:57. The clip at the end of the mink running away is just cut from earlier footage before the encounter. Nature is too brutal for happy, feel-good documentaries.
The mink was too tough to be preyed upon. It fights back, and the Lynx disengages. You can hear the mink squawking, so it was still alive when the lynx left. If it was badly wounded, the Lynx would have finished it off and made a meal, instead of leaving.
Lions are Panthers Pnathera leo and you have Panthera tigris for tiger and the list goes on...Damn i glad that i have been born Greek.you use the Greek word Panther without knowing the meaning of it.all big cats are Panthers.and Lynx is a greek word to.the bobcat is a Lynx rufus
philipee32 it's what is known as a bobcat. In the fur market they are called lynx cats. A Canadian lynx is bigger and has huge paws for walking on snow. Lynx don't have the spots that bobcats have.
so they found another mink and another samelooking disoriented bobcat with bleeding nose like if he was bitten there to make it look like happy ending??sounds like too much work. Ur skepticism comes to the absurd. its just german documentary and doesent seem like american hollywood bullshit
+Conrad Verner This is not Hollywood its the wild Life! At sec 0:08 the Mink is really close to the camera the video gets cut and the mink is really far at 0:11 (edited) at sec 58 the cat snap the mink's back turn up the sound you can heard it. After that the mink goes crazy aggressive bites the cat in the face the cat gives up, the mink can't jump properly for the rest of the video until they fix it (edited) the last scene is what they cut off on 0:08-0:11 the mink trying to get away from the cat before the fight started. Nice touch by the producers for the plastic perfect world we live in!
Most preadators in the wild just wont risk an injury that could debillitate them in any way . Im assuming the mink had a good hold on the cats nose and thought fuck this shit aint worth the hassle ! A terrier has been bred with no fear, safe in the knowlledge that its going home to a nice bowl of pedigree chum and a warm bed, or wost case scenario a trip to the vet to deal with any sustained injury that could otherwise result in severe infection or possibly a fatal one if it were a wild animal !!
The Lynx/Bobcat clearly breaks the Mink's back. It is unable to move it's back legs after that and is just lashing out with it's front legs while it's back legs can't operate. Before they cut to the edited clip of it running away - with clean fur despite being covered in snow from the tussle - you can see it lying there basically defenseless screeching at the cat. The cat backs off to avoid the teeth while it waits for the Mink to die....Sad but true....At 0:56 you can hear the spine break.
If it was willing to pay the butcher's bill, yes. It would have been injured though, most likely, although not severely. Probably get it's face half bit off :(
Candid i got you on Street cat but a owl cannot in any way 1v1 a mink, this is obviously what your opinion is and what you think not facts, a mink if grabbed by a owl can just roll over and start biting him or flee. You obviously do not know about this stuff and confuse facts for what you think. Please read more and look at facts as this is blatantly false. This comment was purely annoying to me as you know nothing about this whatsoever.
Dumbass. Mink are so nimble amd ferocious. I highly doubt any house cat or tom cat could kill a mink. A lynx or bobcat would make an easy snack of a tom cat/house cat and you just watched this video of a lynx/bobcat trying to kill a mink and failed... walked away... but a tom cat can? Lmao. Good joke! Also.... minks kill muskrats, much, MUCH bigger than any rat.. a cat would likely be badly hurt trying to kill a muskrat but the mink kills them for lunch. Check out "joseph parker the mink man" Weasal family are badass. Seen a Tasmanian devil or something from the weasel family trying to kill am elk, was all over it, biting it to shit. Video is on youtube somewhere. Check out honey badgers too.

I've cared for foxes, monkeys, crocodilians, large snakes and many others and until this day have not met an animal aggressive and unpredictable to this degree.
What a fierce little creature. This particular bobcat won't make the same mistake twice.
That Mink probably died from internal injuries 1-2 days later, the adrenaline is what allowed it to ignore its injuries and run away. That Lynx wasn't messing around.
Literally the mink just defeated a predator 10 times it's own size. Amazing.
Defeated nothing? As any apex predator didn't wanted to go for hard meal, he stopped.
Mink put veryxgood fight but bobcat has easily the upperhand and without so much reason, just gave up.
He looks juvenile so (boncat).
And the mink, due to his spine movements, provably died few moments later on injuries.
@@samwisehuluberlu2210 You can't magically make your spine work after it's severed. Feral hogs try to routinely. The bobcat lost because it was too weak or in pain from the mink to bite through. The mink was attacked randomly, the bobcat did quit with nothing but face damage to show for it, the mink ran away in the opposite directionafter fighting for its LIFE and you don't think the cat was defeated. I mean I see that English isn't your first language, but that's not really relevant.
@@kevindunlap5525 I'm sure you've said in your comment that "the mink was fighting for its life" & not the bobcat, 😂for the bobcat, the worst thing that could've happen is a few minor scratches & bites that would eventually heal, for the mink it would've lost it's life if the bobcat was as persistent & determined as the mink was to live, I've seen other videos of other bobcats easily killing minks.
mink has the bite of a full ground pit bull and the agility is off the scale. great video
bullshit...bite like a pitbull.....dude...
relative to its size? for sure... dude... bro... relativity.
you're delusional.
Lol, he's using hyperboles. Everybody here are taking everything so seriously.
Peter Rod that bobcat let off a order that made the cat quit...not his bite
The mink made dinner too expensive for the bobcat.
Mink are fearless and intellegent! the bobcat must have been pretty hungry to risk an attack
Instead of naming their Tanks, Panther, Tiger and Lynx, they should have named them Mink, Otter and ferret.

the cat is like "awesome!, found me a nice meal" .......after a few minutes of fighting he's probably like " fuck! didn't think i'd get my ass KICK by my sandwich!
It's always pleasing to see a god damn wide shot with no cuts nor extra drama .. the American documentaries drive me crazy .
Cat looks around and is like, “Nobody saw me get my butt kicked, right?”
Damn food dont supposed to bite back lol
Fuck this ill eat on of those beavers instead
"Yeah, you better run", says Bobcat. 😿
Mink are such fiesty little creatures 😂😂😂, glad to see that it got away.
Mink is a contortionist
Bobcat can never get a hold of it without getting bit in the face.
Exactly. They can twist around in their own skin.
But the mink died😂😂😂
It's a Lynx, not a bobcat. The mink was too tough to be preyed upon.
Alphonso Zorro it’s a Bobcat! Go look at some pictures of both it shouldn’t be that hard on the internet, that cat looks nothing like a Lynx.
Yea the mink knows to go for the face so this bob cat won't mess with mink lol
Minks release a chemical stench that drives predators off. It isn't the biting that bothers the cat.
Bobcat was young 2. here it was really the bite. 3.Often kill Bobcat minks, since does not disturb any chemical stench. 4.es always gives exceptions, in all animals. The Mink has in America many and strong competition and enemies, other marten, hawk, coyote etc. The selection of aggression and courage has ensured its existence.
Theodor Gedack often kill bobcats mink lol what are you trying to say?
That bobcat was like "who's hunting who"?
i cant wait to have my own house so i can watch animal shows on a giant big screen
That's actually a Linx. The hind quarters are bigger than the front. The bobcat's back is flat and the animal is grey.
"Link" ? It's not a Lynx at all !
.
Wrong, it's a Bobcat. Lynx's have a thinner build than the Bobcat and have much longer ears with hair projecting from the tips of the ears.
+ stephen dwyer- You really should shut your yap because you have no idea what you're talking about.
Your intelligence is about equal to a house cat, so you at least have that going for you. But you are still quite the moron. Domestic cats are a nuisance animal and their population needs to be greatly thinned out in developed countries, that is a fact. The best thing we all can do is to trap them and humanely kill them. I do this quite frequently myself and it is very beneficial for the environment. I have trapped somewhere between 40 and 45 cats in the last 7 or 8 years in my backyard. I made a special airtight box that I put them in and I have a hose which I attach to the tailpipe of my car. It works very well, and I'm sure even you would agree that this is the best way to eliminate these nuisance animals so they will not destroy the native animals.
That is a Bobcat. Canada Lynx has shorter tail, less distinct spots, MUCH bigger ear tufts, leg length to the point of looking downright awkward, and the hind quarter difference compared to the front is not something easily missed.
That is an OBVIOUS bobcat. Not even close.
And to the other two arguing on here: yes, a bobcat is technically a type of lynx. Colloquially though, "lynx" refers to the Canada Lynx in North America, not to bobcat.
All of these animals in the weasel family are incredibly tough and dangerous. Their jaws are capable of crushing bone, they have huge claws and they can fight much bigger animals. The mink is small but his larger cousins including the wolverine and fisher or fisher cat or marten are badass. Fishers will even attack kids and occasionally adults.
Fisher cats aren't big
@@onestepatatime0868 They have reportedly taken down full grown Canada lynx on rare occasions.
@@suchomimustenerensis5302 those reports were proven false
@@onestepatatime0868 Yeah probably This lynx just didn't want to exert the energy in the winter to snap this f*cker's kneck
@@DW-nb2zc there was a video of a lynx chasing a fisher, the size difference is huge
That Bobby/Lynx loooks ADORBS and that awesome mink too!
You gotta be kiddin me! In the jaws and claws of a bobcat and he fights him off? Minks are amazing.
*Watching from afar*
Wolf: Nope
What could possibly go wrong?
The music reminds me of the old Disney True-Life Adbentures from the 1950s. I loved them!
Thanks a bunch for this. :D
So what my dear bobcat, got some bad bites ? hahaahha
Mink laid down a few combos on that furry face
The mink got fatal wounds.
It looks like the movie got Disneyficated, to make it look like the mink survived where the producer clipped to the final scene, with the Bobcat walking away.
true enough the bite is a non survivable wound for the mink....it will just run of and die.......
The mink ran away fine.
Jeff Sartain you don’t know enough about mink. They’re a mustelid, same as otter. They’ve got thick dense pelts for staying warm in water... I’m sure the bobcat and mink walked away equal. No blood means no mortal wound.
@H K A It did not. That was earlier footage.
Especially since cat bites are particularly infectious even if it doesn't bleed out from internal punctures. Most birds that escape a cat after being wounded die from infection rather quickly.
The cat was seemingly repelled by bad smell.
Mama Bobcat forgot to tell her kitten he can prey on this and that animal, but don't mess with those Mustelids. They're more trouble than they are worth.
Minks are members of the weasel family which pound-for-pound are among the best fighters in the world. Basically, the feline and weasel family have that distinction.
just like you can say in laymen's terms that Canids are the dog family and Felids are the cat family and Ursids are the bear family.. Mustelids are, yea, considered the weasel family.. not the ferret family, not the badger family, the weasel family..
I hope for comedy’s sake this guy is saying some random shit...
“If you marry a woman, you will lose your life...maybe more”
“She’s not yours...it’s just your turn”
“You will become #4 or #5 on the list of important things in life if she has a kid”
Ya know....random truthful things
Bob: ‘I came to eat you and look what you done!’
Mink: ‘I rather be somebody’s stoll then be your meal!’
Sorry to burst your guys' bubbles, but that mink did not survive. As others have pointed out, it took mortal wounds here. You can hear bones crunching at 0:57. The clip at the end of the mink running away is just cut from earlier footage before the encounter. Nature is too brutal for happy, feel-good documentaries.
Yeah it has to be...
The mink was too tough to be preyed upon. It fights back, and the Lynx disengages. You can hear the mink squawking, so it was still alive when the lynx left. If it was badly wounded, the Lynx would have finished it off and made a meal, instead of leaving.
@@alphonsozorro7952 yup
That's a lynx, not a bobcat.
A Bobcat is a Lynx. There are four kinds of Lynx. But I guess you mean that's an Eurasian Lynx?
Yes. It would be like calling a lion a panther. Yeah the genus is right. But one does not generally refer to an African lion as a panther.
Lions are Panthers Pnathera leo and you have Panthera tigris for tiger and the list goes on...Damn i glad that i have been born Greek.you use the Greek word Panther without knowing the meaning of it.all big cats are Panthers.and Lynx is a greek word to.the bobcat is a Lynx rufus
philipee32 it's what is known as a bobcat. In the fur market they are called lynx cats. A Canadian lynx is bigger and has huge paws for walking on snow. Lynx don't have the spots that bobcats have.
this is what i call happy ending nice vid lad :)
That bobcat bit off more than he could chew, literally.
I doubt the mink survived the attack. Watch at 0:59, it appears the mink's back is broken. It doesn't appear to be able to use its back legs.
+TotalMishap But then you see the mink running off.
It was edited his back was broken.
Ahhh. If that's the case, then kinda sad. :(
so they found another mink and another samelooking disoriented bobcat with bleeding nose like if he was bitten there to make it look like happy ending??sounds like too much work.
Ur skepticism comes to the absurd. its just german documentary and doesent seem like american hollywood bullshit
+Conrad Verner This is not Hollywood its the wild Life!
At sec 0:08 the Mink is really close to the camera the video gets cut and the mink is really far at 0:11 (edited) at sec 58 the cat snap the mink's back turn up the sound you can heard it. After that the mink goes crazy aggressive bites the cat in the face the cat gives up, the mink can't jump properly for the rest of the video until they fix it (edited) the last scene is what they cut off on 0:08-0:11 the mink trying to get away from the cat before the fight started. Nice touch by the producers for the plastic perfect world we live in!
I think its funny that almost every breed of terrier could kill this mink in seconds yet a bobcat can't at all?
Most preadators in the wild just wont risk an injury that could debillitate them in any way . Im assuming the mink had a good hold on the cats nose and thought fuck this shit aint worth the hassle ! A terrier has been bred with no fear, safe in the knowlledge that its going home to a nice bowl of pedigree chum and a warm bed, or wost case scenario a trip to the vet to deal with any sustained injury that could otherwise result in severe infection or possibly a fatal one if it were a wild animal !!
Because its fat thats why its weight cost lot of its stamina.
Yeah, terriers were bred for killing small animals. Both their technique and build is perfect for that role.
The Lynx/Bobcat clearly breaks the Mink's back. It is unable to move it's back legs after that and is just lashing out with it's front legs while it's back legs can't operate. Before they cut to the edited clip of it running away - with clean fur despite being covered in snow from the tussle - you can see it lying there basically defenseless screeching at the cat. The cat backs off to avoid the teeth while it waits for the Mink to die....Sad but true....At 0:56 you can hear the spine break.
The bobcat just showed us that minks don't f*** around.
If that Bobcat is really hungry,that mink is dead.
If it was willing to pay the butcher's bill, yes. It would have been injured though, most likely, although not severely. Probably get it's face half bit off :(
Candid i got you on Street cat but a owl cannot in any way 1v1 a mink, this is obviously what your opinion is and what you think not facts, a mink if grabbed by a owl can just roll over and start biting him or flee. You obviously do not know about this stuff and confuse facts for what you think. Please read more and look at facts as this is blatantly false. This comment was purely annoying to me as you know nothing about this whatsoever.
"I have seen a street tom cat kill a mink"
Yeah right...
If he were slightly hungry, this should be an easy meal,...But it's a mink !!
Dumbass. Mink are so nimble amd ferocious. I highly doubt any house cat or tom cat could kill a mink.
A lynx or bobcat would make an easy snack of a tom cat/house cat and you just watched this video of a lynx/bobcat trying to kill a mink and failed... walked away... but a tom cat can? Lmao. Good joke!
Also.... minks kill muskrats, much, MUCH bigger than any rat.. a cat would likely be badly hurt trying to kill a muskrat but the mink kills them for lunch.
Check out "joseph parker the mink man"
Weasal family are badass.
Seen a Tasmanian devil or something from the weasel family trying to kill am elk, was all over it, biting it to shit.
Video is on youtube somewhere.
Check out honey badgers too.
BobCat is like "damn you stink like your cousin, the skunk"...
You all forget that they squirt stench like skunks because they are all Mustelids!
The Bobcat is like "From a distance it looked tiny and helpless!?!? WTF!!!
They're both soo cute.
What an epic fight, it looks like the bobcat has a bite wound under his left eye.
when your snack fights back. damn, its crazy out there 😬
Cat like "what in the hell was that?"
the mink was perhaps thinking about those rabbits he hunt during the past summer
That lynx paws make it a lot more agile in the snow
You could put out an eye playing with that thing.
Bobcat: "Easy meal!" Mink: "Come on over. You'll walk over, but you'll be limpin back..."
That mini wolverine was too much for this Bob.
Just learned a new thing for today-was sure that mink was gonna be toast.
Mink said "not today, beeotch".
Dang, that Mink sure showed that Bobcat who's boss.
If the weasel family got any bigger than the wolverine, nothing would stand a chance.
