Damn, I feel bad for the Opossum because it has it's kids with her! But she's smart enough to know that she has to stand her ground, because if she tries to run, she's toast along with her kids!!
Predators like bobcats have a keen sense of prey they can take without running a high risk of getting injured. If they get seriously injured they will starve because they won't be able to hunt. A mother protecting her babies is not usually a good risk.
Are you serious? I like possums but they stand no chance at all against a bobcat. People forget that bobcats have a pretty strong biteforce despite being small and ofc they have cat agility and possums aren’t really fighters.
@@lucidcactus2541you didn't bother reading i guess. OP said injured, not killed. Bobcats aren't known for their pharmacies and antibiotics, so getting into a tussle with an aggressive mother can be dangerous for long-term survival. It's called risk assessment on an instinctual level. Bobcats who risked it died and weren't able to successfully pass genes that led to more reckless behavior.
@@lucidcactus2541 You're totally right. A possum stands no chance against a bobcat, and if they fought, the possum's pretty much done for. But just 'cause the bobcat has the upper hand doesn’t mean it’s automatically gonna try to hunt the possum. Even if the prey's weak, predators still gotta think about how much energy they’ll use up and the risk of getting hurt. And if it’s a mama possum, she might fight back harder. If there's a chance of getting a serious injury while trying to grab a meal, the bobcat might just be like, 'Eh, whatever, you can go.' Of course, if the bobcat’s desperate, it might go for the possum anyway.
A house cat is capable of killing a opossum. The idea they need to surprise the opossum is asinine. Again animal fight freaks like you think these are cartoon heroes on some video game.where do you people cone from?And how old are you?
Kind of true for a lot of predators, don’t really have the knowledge we have of everything in nature, potential prey could also be potential danger if you’re not very familiar with it, and getting hurt in the wild can be a death sentence so how desperate are you to probe the unknown (to you)?
You got to have a good reason to engage in a fight that has a high probability of injuring yourself, was the bobcat going to go apeshit on a mom with kids for a meal? Nope. Could it outlast a fight to death with a possum, probably. Bobcats got zero interest to prove anything on that possum. It moved on for a easier meal.@@nag2129
Have any of you seen the teeth on a Possum? They will mess you up real quick. I use to raise Emus, & every once a while they would get into there feed, & would attack my Emus. I had to use habitat traps to catch them, & have them removed. & only a Possum was stupid enough to take on a 6 foot bird that weighed 95 to 120 lbs. that walked like Raptors, & had talons that could rip a human gut open. Possums are one tough animal.
"We got your back, mama!"😂 The bobcat could have had them, but the smelly fluid an opossum excretes can mimic a skunk or worse and I believe it worked. Bobcat was definitely not scared, as I've seen them "size-up" and study a lot bigger prey, such as myself in a tree stand.
Had a 50 lb German shep mix and she had a huge powerful pitbull like jaw for her size. She brawled many possoms. Sometimes in her youth her could kill them in seconds but sometimes the fight would go on and on. Same for raccoons. Very tough creatures
@rtmcblob4888 Lol it certainly is unusual, they are mostly nocturnal animals, hardly ever seen in daylight. But like you said, it has babies, probably looking for food for the family.
Mom will move babies in daylight if something disturbs her den. That cat might have been trying to get the babies and she decided to emergency relocate.
Bobcat: I've seen you or your cousins before, but you didn't look this freaky then. I want to eat you, but... Possum to itself: yes, I am a coward, I use my babies for deception.
And then a deer comes out of nowhere and tramples the bobcat….seen it before…animals lookout for one another sometimes things go terribly wrong…you never know….🤣🤣
Hi @HeindI Nature Preserve ~ I am working on yt video project about Opossums and I was wondering if I could use clips from your video? (I would credit you of course!)
Bobcat say man this thing got too many eyes
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Biblically accurate forest animal.
He is worried about the teeth
Lmao😂
😂😂😂😂
Bobcat - "I'm not attacking that thing. It's got five heads!"
Damn, I feel bad for the Opossum because it has it's kids with her! But she's smart enough to know that she has to stand her ground, because if she tries to run, she's toast along with her kids!!
Well said
Yeah, but the cat probably has kids too. The way it is
That ole Bob was like atleast give me a couple of those Opossum nuggets.
Snack fer my troubles...
That ain’t even funny your just sick
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂 nuggets
He wanted the combo, meal and sides 😅

If it knew that it could snatch off a baby, the bobcat could probably do-so without too much injury. However it might not be aware of this.

Right. Even housecats are more formidable. @@lucidcactus2541

Always interesting to see how cats usually won't attack unless they can use the element of surprise

Yeah, it's fascinating they're definitely ambush predators
Yeah, ambush predators lol.
couldn’t quite figure out what it was. Smells like an opossum....

Mama Possum: “Hold on babies, I gotta twist this fools cap back”
The opossum is more motivated since it's protecting its babies!
Yeah they’re usually EXTREMELY docile
It's crazy how possums look like the monster from Beetlejuice
Don't mess with Mama protecting her babies
Mommy opossum has a terrible bite and will do even more to defend the little ones!
Bobcat: Hmm what do we have here?
Me: Expecting possum family to all drop and play dead.
Possums: Am I a joke to y’all? Shows teeth.
Mama has some cute, beady-eyed little hitchhikers. The cat seems curious and fascinated - must not be hungry. A baby would make a tasty snack!
Mama would probably have something to say about that.
Oh, I don’t know about that….the bobcat at one point was licking his lips 😂
dont be too sure man those possums can fight
@@28704joeThat bobcat would absolutely destroy mom in about 15 seconds , reality.

What the hell is this? Part one?
😂😂😂👍
Exactly! 😂😂
yea you gotta subscribe to peacock to watch part 2
He's like me....I don't eat Possum either

That bobcat thinks mom is a carrier group.
Bobcat says, " I'm a doctor. Let me help you with weird growths on your back.".
😂😂😂
"We got your back, mama!"😂

Bob just wanted a snack since she had extra.🤣
❤❤❤A whole bunch of Opossums are a delight to a homeowner, but they don't appreciate one!❤❤❤
Bobcat wants one of those babies make a snack out of them.
The bobcat actually wants the mom but all those babies hanging on was probably confusing it.
Did they end up going for a beer or what
Had a 50 lb German shep mix and she had a huge powerful pitbull like jaw for her size. She brawled many possoms. Sometimes in her youth her could kill them in seconds but sometimes the fight would go on and on. Same for raccoons. Very tough creatures
Yeah, and pissed off Bobcat would kill your dog quickly. They can kill full grown deer. Possum has no chance against Bobcat, if Bobcat is hungry.
That poor mama must have been beyond stressed and terrified
That’s a BIG possum!
Mama: Alright kids, if he runs in, everyone take a big bite. 😅
Bobcat: "Just making sure the baby at the back isn't slipping, just want to pull him up"
Those possums have some teeth of their own, not worth the risk of injury.
LOL. Cat is too fast. Even housecat can easily kill possum due to millisecond reaction time.
Bobcat, come on just one possum Mc nugget is all I want.
Aren't those opossums old enough to walk yet? 🦡🦡🦡🦡😅
Honestly glad you stopped recording I didn’t want to see them babies die
Isn’t it unusual to see an opossum out in daylight? They are strictly nocturnal, where I’m from.
No? Just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they're not moving around. Especially when they have babies.
@rtmcblob4888 Lol it certainly is unusual, they are mostly nocturnal animals, hardly ever seen in daylight. But like you said, it has babies, probably looking for food for the family.
They definitely are nocturnal, and she knows she is exposed out in open like that!
Mom will move babies in daylight if something disturbs her den. That cat might have been trying to get the babies and she decided to emergency relocate.
you’re from the forest too huh?!
Possum “if we’re going to do this let’s get it over with, children shield me!”
The Brotherhood of Lynx Actors has filed a complaint about this bobcat talk.
I see you lookin at me Mr. Bobcat 😂
🙀Aww mannn I never thought in a million years it’d take a Opossum to show a Bobcat how P😾ssy he really is❗️🫵😹
Sounds like they’re at the beach. I hear the seagulls in the background.
A walking buffet
Bobcat says wait a minute here ,i'm outnumbered 10 to one ...
I think the cat thought, "It doesn't get any easier than this."
He was legitimately confused of what he was looking at
Doing what mamas do, protect at all cost
Was the mom & her babies ok? The video was cut short…
"PLEASE, can I have just one?"
Good thing he knew how to play possum.
The opposum looked like that demonic dog of Alucard (Van Hellsing)! It is not surprising that it got scared.
Should read "Bobcat vs. Possum hauling babies".
If the mother launches an attack the babies will also react Possum see Possum do.
This Opossum ain't finna try playin' dead.
I Think all those kids on her back made her look bigger and more intimidating
Can't take the back to pounce due to multiple sets of eyes. Very confusing for the cat i'm sure.
"that's the end of rd 1 ladies and gentelmen. seems just to feel out opponet"
Bob was genuinely confused. It crashed his hard drive.
surely the cat saw the babies on her back. wonder what it was thinking
Thinking "my lucky day! more food in one place!"
That’s a pretty large bobcat.
This probably ended poorly for the possums family outing.
food truck just waddled into the neighborhood the day I left my wallet at home
My maternal grandparents, mother, aunties and uncles ate those growing up. She said I ate it too I just didn’t know.
Possum said I went on one date and now I’m a bus, I am in no mood
Of course we only saw 60 seconds of this encounter. I’m pretty sure, depending how hungry the bobcat was, that it ended poorly for the possums 😢
Save yourself a minute.
Nothing happens at all, they just circle each other.
I think the bobcat did not know what the possum was.
Bobcat: I've seen you or your cousins before, but you didn't look this freaky then. I want to eat you, but...
Possum to itself: yes, I am a coward, I use my babies for deception.
shes not playing dead this time
She is the best mother different animal can’t do that carry chid and protect family
Snack. Snack. Snack. Snack. FULL MEAL DEAL.
Mama lost all her babies at the end of this standoff !!! 😢😱
Of these who wants to eat whom ? 😂😂😂
Woww
Come on lady! You have four. Just gimme one
so WHAT ultimately happened???????
She told the bobcat take the one in the back it is nothing but a pain in the ass.
And then a deer comes out of nowhere and tramples the bobcat….seen it before…animals lookout for one another sometimes things go terribly wrong…you never know….🤣🤣
Bobcats can kill full grown deer.
Don't mess with momma. 🤗😉😮😉🤗
Bobcat doesn't care.
uh, so what happened????
Seriously?!! What happened? Are they safe? Why do you upload an incomplete video?!
Will put a special request in to the wildlife to make sure they do everything on camera
@@HeindlNaturePreserve😂😂
Bobcat what kinda Rat is thing 😂
Poor possums, their lives are so short.

@beckyharris8692 Feel free to use clips from the video
@@HeindlNaturePreserve Thank you so much! < 3
Where is the rest of the video??
Possum has wicked teeth and tastes like forest McDonalds... I'll pass...
Wow very funny
what happened next was rated-R lol
Cats love Opossums.
upload full video
Ok so...leave us hanging like @ dam scarecrow...
So what happened?!!! Video cut off way too early!
Com on Bobcat doesn't know how to bobcat. The entree even comes with free apps.
¡Un tlacuache! Con sus tlacuachitos.
Plot twist: the bobcat is the father
cat vs tacuache🤣
Male vs Female 😊😆
So what happened???
They soon embraced, falling madly in love. And the Bobcat helped raise the youngsters as its own.
@@williamwilson6499 ..Funny!!!
@@williamwilson6499that was their dream after being consumed
All he wanted was her numbers
Oh I hope she got away with her babies! What a terrible position to be in 😢
cool
reactive armor in animal kingdom
Them barbed cats will eat anything less than twice their size.
Opossum carries 4 babies.
