00:03 Although stoats, also known as weasels, are small creatures,

00:06 they are active and ambitious predators

00:09 spinning a huge geographic range,

00:11 including significant portions of North America,

00:16 Europe, and Asia.

00:17 The female stoat in this video raids a woodpecker's nest.

00:23 As she sneaks into the nest,

00:28 you can see her pull the dead woodpeckers out of the nest.

00:31 When the stoat finally leaves,

00:39 the parents return to see what happened

00:41 and realize that the nest has been emptied.

00:45 In this video, a team of experts

00:50 were studying the behavior of the gray shrike.

00:55 But the images also revealed how a weasel visited the nest

00:59 and attacked the birds.

01:00 Weasels, unlike other predators,

01:08 tend to kill or harm multiple birds,

01:10 if not entire flocks, in a single attack.

01:14 They also prefer to drink the target animal's blood

01:17 rather than eating significant amounts of flesh.

01:24 Stoats kill a variety of prey,

01:26 but I have not seen them kill snakes very often.

01:29 However, it's the case in this video,

01:32 and the snake isn't small.

01:34 I don't know if it's venomous, probably not,

01:40 since the stoat dispatched it quite easily.

01:43 I don't know if the snake was alive right here.

01:47 To be frank, there isn't much of the snake left.

01:52 A man saw a rare thing in the back of their garden.

01:55 When they looked out, it was a stoat chasing a rabbit.

01:58 The rabbit is bigger than the stoat,

02:03 but the stoat is stronger.

02:05 The weasel in this video was precise.

02:10 He killed the rabbit in no time

02:12 before dragging the dead animal away.

02:15 Just look at how small the stoat is in this video

02:18 when it attacks a beautiful white fluffy bunny.

02:22 But the bunny's friend, a curious dog,

02:24 comes to the bunny's rescue and chases the stoat away.

02:28 I hope for this stoat's sake, he managed to hide quickly.

02:32 In our thumbnail, it looks like this stoat

02:34 is performing open heart surgery on a squirrel,

02:37 but it's actually devouring the small rodent for breakfast.

02:40 Stoats are not very big, but they hunt like lions.

02:44 Despite their small size,

02:47 they can hunt animals up to 10 times their size,

02:50 such as rabbits.
