You are right. Rabbits stay put unless they know for sure they're seen. And the Stoat jumps around like it's very unaware, so the bunny stays still because nothing is actively predating it from it's point of view. Plus it's cool to watch things flip out and have fun.
The film crew did a terrific job of making this both comedic and information. Or maybe it's comedic because it's completely serious. These cute little stoats are some innovative predators I tell ya. 00:29
Jonathon Lawson Its nothing close to dance of death. in early 90s a war between Pathans and Farsiban broke out. Fight for the rule Afghanistan. both used to kill other side brutally but Farisban used to do it more cruelly. When Farsiban used to catch otherside pathans. They used to call all tribd leaders and put a container in middle full of hot oil. Now they uses tell others lets watch "Marg Dance" a.k.a "Dance of Death". and then used to put Pathan head in the oil. That struggle which Pathans used to do was called "Dance of Death"
The fact that this small mammal is killing other small mammals kinda blew me away... That is until I saw how its hunts. This has got to be one of the weirdest fucking creatures I've ever seen, I choked so bad when I realized what was happening. The take away from this is never underestimate the weird guy, he likely understands something you don't.
Rabbit #1: "Dude WTF is that thing doing'? Rabbit #2: "I dunno, some freaky dance lets get outta here". Rabbit #1: I can't stop watching. Rabbit #2: "I think he is getting closer." Rabbit #1 "His moves aBlarrgh........... Rabbit # 2 Johnny...Johnny..Johnnnnnnnnnny
One of the best examples of the Weasel War Dance at work! If you people want to have a pet that will do exactly the same thing but for fun instead of breaking your neck and eating you with it, get a pair of ferrets. Ferrets are closely related to the Stoat, Mink, weasel etc. and are unstoppable thieves. They celebrate by doing that exact flipping out dance routine, known by ferret owners (and Mustelid fans period) as the Weasel War Dance. They dance when happy, excited, playing, and especially as an 'up yours' whenever they steal something be it from you the owner, or especially the loot stash of another ferret. Ferrets are highly social and you should always have 2 at least. They have a bad habit of backing into and shitting into any corner they find, but you can work around this by putting a small litter pan into every corner you can find. You will never have a pet that can make you smile and laugh every day as much as a carpet shark or two. Some douchebags say that ferrets stink, and spray like a skunk are only partially right. Unless descented, a scared ferret may 'poof' and it does reek if this happens, but unlike skunk spray, it dissapates almost instantly. Their regular fur scent is spicy if anything, and far from unpleasant. They can bite, but can be quickly trained to not bite hard. And once they know you, they will only playbite unless you really piss them off. They are great for high energy kids too, about the only critter that can wear a kid out is a ferret.
Pet ferrets seem awesome, saw a segment about them on Animal Planet on the TV the other day. They are active, inquisitive and curious so you can have loads of interaction with them and they are surprisingly affectionate too. Like a cat or dog they like to nuzzle and be scratched or stroked, building obstacle courses and playing with them looks like great fun. You can even get them trained to a harness and walk them like a dog, they run about sniffing and investigating on the lead and look really cute. You can stop the smell and potential aggression by having them neutered or spayed, if it wasn't for my pet birds I would seriously think about getting ferrets because they seem to be a great pet.
Well, rabbits aren't exactly the brightest bunch are they? Not one of them have ever caught on with this word of advice: "If you see a dancing psycho, turn around and run!"
Очень интересное видео и полезное про животный мир ! Интересно смотреть как себя ведут животные в мире . Такое у нас не в живую не увидишь на полях, в лесах и тд
You all criticize rabbits for falling for this, when you also definitely would’ve sat and watched this little guy do his little dance, which is exactly how he catches his prey.
It should be noted by anyone watching this, that there are no scientific journals on even the war dance itself (I've looked). You cannot assume that the dance does anything more than confuse the rabbit, to say that the weasel hypnotises anything is ridiculous.
+DavidsonLoops I would say that more than anything, it's a distraction. It pretty much moves 360 around the rabbit, so the rabbit has no idea where it would even run to. That said, stoats are lightning fast anyway... Wouldn't they be able to chase a rabbit down regardless?
When it comes to chasing down prey like rabbits, they aren't lightning fast chasers like Cheetahs, they act more like Wolves and Humans, preferring to wear down their prey, chasing them till they tire out and then finishing them off. It's a rare thing among solitary predators, but Stoat's pull it off quite well.
OMG I read about this in an Enid Blyton book as a kid and it only occurred to me recently that I could look it up and see it for real. That really is as crazy as she described. It's so cool to see what I read as an 8 year old for real. :D
Lol yes, The Children of Cherry Tree Farm, I read this book recently to my children as they love Ferrets and their close relatives The Stoat etc. I enjoyed the explanation of the hunting dance scene and this video is close to our imagined scene lol
The stoats are mimicking an attack, or pretending to be attacked... so the bunny thinks "OK, he found his lunch, so I'm safe"... Amazing that the stoats pull off such sly forethought in their quests for bunny meat.
Amazing, never seen one hunting before, they look so cool doing it too, no wonder why I love mustelids - the way it was moving also looks the same way my ferret plays.... (a real life "Watchog" comes to mind [half weasel-stoat/half meerkat])
This reminds me of players in competetive video games, where one crouches and bounces around repeatedly to show they are friendly. Except then they murder them.
Rabbit:Um are you crazy? Stoat:Nah... im testing drugs Rabbit:Whats a drug? Stoat:uhh..emm its *Grass but more tasty* Rabbit:Oh.. then ill try it Stoat:Ok!.... *TAKE THIS* Rabbit:Huh!?.. *AHHHHHH* Edit:lol i liked myself
Maybe rabbits evolved to just observe (and learn) without running away when it appears a predator is after something else. Before stoats learned this trick, any stoat behaving in such a way must have been after something else, so it was a reliable signal. It takes countless generations for prey to evolve instinctive defenses, yet predators can learn a new technique in one generation, because they have the advantage of experience. One predator can repeatedly show its young how it hunts, yet a prey creature rarely encounters predators (because there are far more predators than prey).
Oh, you're right. Anyways, the whole explanation is confusing and rushed, so I'll re-explain it all for those who couldn't understand my first explanation. Rabbits may have evolved a very basic test to check if a stoat is a threat: if the stoat appears suddenly, or is directly approaching, then run away; otherwise, just keep an eye on it. This was the optimal survival strategy because it prevented rabbits from running from stoats which were after something else, saving energy and giving rabbits experience. However, stoats learned to exploit it, and stoats can learn hunting tricks from other stoats, while rabbits can't effectively learn countermeasures. It's because the high rabbit to stoat ratio makes individual rabbits have a much smaller share of stoat-rabbit encounters. Eventually rabbits will evolve instinctive countermeasures, but that will take many generations. Afterwards, stoats will forget their strategy, rabbits will revert to using the old test, and stoats may one day relearn the trick.
Wow. I have never heard of this behavior then again I know little about Stoats. They look like brown ferrets. That is pretty cool. They hunt in an opposite manner to most predators. The rabbit probably thinks if he was hunting me he wouldn’t be so noticeable. Ha-ha who know what the rabbit thinks but regardless its dinner for Mr. Stoat. Pretty cool.
You are right. Rabbits stay put unless they know for sure they're seen. And the Stoat jumps around like it's very unaware, so the bunny stays still because nothing is actively predating it from it's point of view. Plus it's cool to watch things flip out and have fun.
So the stoat catches it prey by...break-dancing? Wow nature - you've good some moves!
This would be like if a gangbanger started doing the 2-step and then shot you.
Muaath Najib I do believe you may have just predicted Samuel L. Jackson's next role.

It's great because he's a genuinely nice guy that could probably kick your ass if he wanted to. Like a black Mr. Rogers.

That's when you realize that the only reason why rabbits survived natural selection is by outnumbering everything else, I mean, look at that shit.
well if it works it works even if said thing that works is theres too many to kill.
yeah they breed like crazy
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Like poor and stupid humans, rabbits love to breed and die young.

And break dancing to attract other beings and put them in a bag and bring them home...

That was some terrible editing.
Agreed.
Welcome to American television.
They didn't get a shot of a kill using this technique thus they resorted to trickery.
TheAGCteam stoat hypnotized the editor
@Little Tangerine, the editing in this video isn't great, but it's pretty dumb to paint a brush on all of American television.

Funny thing is, I bet this all started when the very first stoat who spazzed was just pissed off he couldn't catch the rabbit.
Lol
wrrr
Did the stoat tell you that?
Wow dude you're definitely related to the stoat or something how do you know so much wait a min were u a stoat in your past life 😳 🤔 😅 🤣
Stoat uses hypnotize. It's super effective
*Stoat uses Yeet and Eat! It’s very affective!*

It hypnotised me with its cuteness!
So that's where break dancing came from ? lol
Hahahahaha!
This is not hypnosis, this is complete TROLLING! LOL!
That announcer deserves a raise for being able to say "who could ignore a stoat on steroids?" with a straight face.
Just like humans in clubs, dancing like a madman in order to get close to your prey.
THAT'S my patronus?!? Wtf you trying to say about me, Pottermore?
It's mine too... ;,D hihi

Oh c'mon look at that face and its playful nature i could hurt a f... HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Never underestimate the power of a spaz...
Stoat: (flops around erratically)
Rabbit: "This is the worst puppet show ever!"
IDK why but the music that plays as the stoat flails about makes this scene so funny to me.

The Stoats be like '' Ssshhh.. I'm hunting wabbits ''
The weasel war dance has me hypnotized too, luckily though I'm a human and am sitting in front of a computer inside of a building.
***** You're right I haven't.
I really like the fake setup and cut in this video! Well done👍🏻
1:06 I either saw two weasels there or I’m just bing hypnotized
1:01 the rabbit looks so confused
Rabbits are often confused 😂
1:42 don't starve rabbit scream lmao
glad I'm not alone who noticed
Yooooo! Who edited this video? This is too funny!
Stoat showing cuteness and playing then it impressed to easily innocent rabbits then killed rabbits.title is suitable for stoats.
“Look at the idiot trying to trick us Billy. Can’t believe he thinks we’re that stupid. Am I right Billy. Billy?!!! No!”
this is adorable and terrifying at the same time
So the stoat used Teether dance or Hypnosis?
Hai Nguyen Probably teeter dance. hypnosis puts a pokemon/animal to sleep. Teeter dance makes the most sense.
Ravenwolf 124 this proves NG knows nothing about Pokemon XD
1:36 RABBIT INTENSIFIES.
Stoat used sharp sense and hypnotizes for a food and a meal
They seriously just used the "Don't Starve" rabbit dying sound effect 😂
EXACTLY

Stupid stock audio @ 1:42 That's straight out of Don't Starve!

ZeFrank needs to do the voice over narration for this one!
Imagine lions doing that. That would be the funniest thing ever.
i think this is what sentret and furret from pokemon is based off of. sentret hypnotized its enemies and furret is known for its fast movement.
1:16 The Stoat is doing a NZ Haka Dance !
The Weasel has Intelligence, Ego, and above all mastered a 4th dimensional way of hunting.
How they learned to do such feats I have no idea.
God taught them as He taught all creation
