Looks like Bobcat settled down and wanted to become friends after realizing the groundhog was no pushover. The groundhog was clearly still offended and didn't accept.
If that bobcat had wanted to kill and eat that groundhog, it would have done so. Young animal, wanted to play. Hungry animal, the first and last the woodchuck woulda known about it would be the teeth in the back of its neck. Learn something about animals before you blow your wad about them.
@@thehellyousay Maybe the bobcat wasn't 100% sure it would win. If it never fought a groundhog before then it might not know how strong or weak that animal is. Animals have been tricked before into retreating from weaker prey. For example, if a cougar is about to attack you, its recommended that you try to make yourself look as big as possible to scare it off. Of course that's just bs and making yourself look bigger doesn't actually make you any stronger but the cougar doesn't know that. Not all animals want to risk their health if they feel like their opponent could put a good fight.
Lil Wooo I don't disagree, but given the choice, most predators try not to risk injury if they can help it. A hurt predator quickly becomes a starving one if it's ability is diminished.
Somewhere in these comments, someone incorrectly identifies groundhogs as mustelids. They are not mustelids. Groundhogs are rodents and very closely related to squirrels. They are also known as woodchucks. Woodchucks are very strong for their size. They dig very deep and lengthy underground tunnels and to do so routinely move rocks that weigh more than them. Like all rodents their incisors (front teeth) continously grow and they must chew on things in order to wear the front teeth down. Sometimes they have to use these teeth in defense and can inflict a lot of damage with them. Woodchucks are not carnivores. They usually retreat into their burrow (which almost always has many entrances) when threatened. In this video maybe the bobcat was between the woodchuck and its burrow. Maybe the woodchuck had babies in its burrow and was defending them. Most animals will fight fiercely in order to defend their young. In any case, this was a young inexperienced bobcat who did not know how to handle the large rodent.
You are correct. They are not mustelids. That's ridiculous. They belong to the Family called Chiroptera, but oddly, they are flightless. It is believed that they have an alternative breathing apparatus that is technically called a spiracle. Too bad people don't bother to educate themselves.
Based on the size and the way it instantly initiated its attack this was no young bobcat. It’s a grown ass adult. Though perhaps this was the first time it saw a groundhog squaring up instead of retreating.
Definitely a juvenile inexperienced Bobcat, an experienced adult would’ve killed it quick. An adult can kill a deer. My bad, I didn't know groundhogs were in the Mustelid family which includes Wolverines, badgers & fisher cats.
@@greggschneider1834 exactly. Ground hog is not a pushover; nor is a beaver. They aren't like rabbit or squirrels; like you say, they are more like wolverines or badgers. That groundhog actually moved toward the bobcat aggressively, it was ready to fight.
@@greggschneider1834 The ground hog did his work, but the bot cat was for sure a juvenile, the way he moved was something just a young feline could do.
@@jush5187 only a mountain lion would make quick work of those little guys. Any other wild cat in this environment would have a challange on its hands.
Groundhogs will fight back with all that they can. I've seen it on two occasions. They have a wicked set of chompers, and woe be unto any animal incautious enough to let the g-hog get them into him. Of course, the two occasions when I've seen g-hogs, they lost the fight anyway because they were against overwhelming force, the first time our English Setter and the second time our large black Labrador. The dogs were methodical, first worrying the groundhog with quick lunges in and out to tire him, then once the g-hog was slowed down a bit from exhaustion, the dogs made a final lightning-fast lunge to grab the g-hog by the neck, then rapidly shaking their heads until they broke the g-hog's neck. That final lunge and shake happens so fast that it's literally a blur!
I have guinea piggies, and their bites do hurt. My sow almost took my finger off when I was hiving her treats, but it was my fault that I didn't move my finger or hold the treat right to where she didn't confuse my finger for food. They obviously don't do that anymore, but if they're very excited and impatient, itay happen again, but it hasn't, soooo...
I always see this kind of comment in videos like these, "maybe it's a young black bear so that's why it couldn't hunt the smaller deer", sometimes if prey is being aggressive even if the prey was several times smaller than the predator the predator might just give up because it does not want to risk injury of any kind, like deers might not seem like much but those hooves will get a bear real good. There are no doctors in the wild they have to heal naturally and any injury could mean fatal to them. Making it harder to hunt, run from a predator etc. ...
Do NOT mess with a groundhog! They are not just cute furry creatures; they will tear you up and are extremely territorial. If you see a groundhog, *don't* approach it! You know you're getting to close if the groundhog starts clicking its teeth;it's an eerie sound and a warning not to come any closer. They have very strong jaws; sharp teeth, and mean claws.
jsphotos Yeah, very dangerous animal, be carefull, when they are in pack they can exterminate a small town :) Pretty sure you live in town because groundhogs are not that dangerous, I was a wildlife rescue before and I learn to catch them by hand, sure they want to bite the hell out of you but any wild animal do, never got scratch by claws or attack on territory, skunk are the most difficult animal to catch for me but on 15-16 catch I got spray only 2 times, and groundhogs when I catch them the right way, I never had problems, the skin is very loose and hard to have a good grip so they won't turn and bite, anyways, people would believe everything they see on TH-cam, so I would say that bobcats and cougar are the hardess to catch, even a baby bobcat can make your day a bad one, sorry, wolverines are the worst, more like a little tank that never run out of fuel, after that it's pretty much the same, foxes, raccoons, coyote, and everything else, skunks are easy to catch if you know how, so groundhogs are not even on my list because they're really not that bad, but they have a mean bite if they catch you, I got bite by a squirrel 1 time and it went right to the bone and broke it, so a groundhogs must be a pretty nasty bite, I never got bite yet, but I saw my friend got to the hospital with a beaver bites, he stay 3 weeks and multiple operations to save he's hand, so I hope this will help you to see the real nature of a groundhog and I try my best to explain it, last thing, never try to handle a wild animal if you don't have experience or know the risk, sorry for my big ass long comment and good luck.
James Dinkelmann You should try groundhogs meat by yourself, do not taste like pork at all, pretty hard to say what it taste like but not my type, a lot of fat, good in survival situation, that's about it.
Danny Garden I've had some oddball fare before and that might be considered. A book said that it's taste is like pork though you said differently. I can see it being greasy though.
Wow great behaviour capture (even in low quality). Looks like an inexperienced or desperate bobcat that chose to attack without the element of surprise. Any bobcat could overpower the toughest woodchuck... but without catching the chuck unaware and getting a death hold, the cat would get hurt. And a wildcat can't afford to get hurt.
@@djsgravely I believe one was in my trap and panicked and was able to get out as the trap was sprung. I've caught two possums and released them. As far as killing it, I'm not interested in that.
Well first of all nice Cowboy emblem and second of all that's got to be the softest big cat I've ever seen. And then at the end or towards the middle the Bobcat raised up on hind legs like what's up
Dirty Trucker rodents do have sharp incisors. Try getting nibbled by your guinea pig lol. They chew EVERYTHING. I know it is to wear their teeth down, but they sometimes go crazy with it.
That is simply amazing. I have never seen such a bold dominant ground hog. If he would have turned his back and made a run for his hole he would have been done for.
Bobcat was a young cat. Obvious in the size of the two animals. A mature cat would have killed the woodchuck. I agree with the other commentors, the cat was playing.
Ground hogs don't mess around, one cost me a 1900$ emergency vet bill after my dog tried to bite it on the face and the ground hog bit his tongue in half.
The groundhog said: "Back up bitch you better recognize", lol!!! That groundhog stood up on his hind legs and said: " You gonna learn today, i wish muthafuka would dog!!!"
watch carefully...that bobcat was definitely not playing as it tries to tear the back of that groundhog apart...but the car backs off everytime the hog gets a good bite
@@johnnymcblaze I think he means, if a big cat is going in to kill something, they don't playfully slap like this young cat did. A apex predator going in for a kill (cat's in this context), will use their fangs and bite to kill. This cat didn't know wtf was going on lol.
Ground hog: "Hey buddy, let's rumble. Let's see whatcha' got?!" Bobcat: " Hey man, I was only foolin' with ya'. Let's just be friends and call this thing off, okay?"
Groundhogs are not to be messed with, I knew people that closed their garage doors at night only to get attacked by them in the morning. They did extensive damage chewing everything to get out.
It's Groundhog Day! I've never heard of a bobcat backing down to anything, much less a groundhog. Even domestic cats could take a groundhog, that was one lucky critter.
Smart strategy on the part of the groundhog by advancing on the Bobcat to scare him away. Of course, an adult Bobcat wouldn't have been quite so easily dissuaded, and the groundhog would have gotten killed quickly.
I think that bobcat was just playing My cat kills those pretty easy they are strong indeed takes long for a domesticated cat to kill those I let him kill them but not eat them Because they already some how made hole into my moms basement and ATTIC?? I once saw one in the house when I came back from walking my dogs and cat Which died once my dog spotted him Now thanks to my cat there is no more holes and not a single one of them living under our house
I doubt house cats can take out a full grown groundhog. My dogs have gone after them from time to time and have gotten pretty badly bitten up in the process. Groundhogs have teeth and a hide on them like a beaver, can punch right through a dogs' skin with no difficult and would shred a cat's gelatinous skin in a flash. And they can roll around in their own skin to prevent muscle damage if something grabs them. The tiny teeth on house cats would never hurt them, let alone kill them. So, unless your "cat" is a mountain lion, I'm not buying your story. Sorry.
People make a mistake letting their dogs run free to "hunt"; for one, domestic dogs are fed by humans, so they don't need the meat. Two, they can get illnesses from wild game, Three, it is cruel because wild animals lay it on the line every damn day, and I understand they must die--to feed a wild, starving predator-not your fat ass domestic dog. Last, I just watched a thing on a domestic dog allowed to roam. It found? A little deer and broke it's back "for fun". No cool double dog dare, not cool at all. The woman who owned the dog cried like a Baby and they did not even fine her, but people who own dogs (like you and me) should take responsibility for those dogs--to protect them and protect wildlife, period.
The Groundhog kept standing up like "What you wanna do?"
More like: Whatchu gonna do to me?
I've been doing that my whole life and they scared to give me my money now 😂😂😂😂 vaginas
Exactly...😂 The groundhog was saying: “You think you want a piece of this? Come on and get it.”
I understand its 6 months old but you got rolling 😃😃
"Come at me bro"😂

@@benyaminyisrael4634 u must not be familiar with bobcats
@@nadabuhaliqa8857 yeah by catching them unaware/ambushing and it's the baby ones they get. They don't run down a deer
Bobcat: hey, dinner!!!
Groundhog: I'll make it a very long winter for you buddy....
We had an old farm collie that killed a groundhog almost every day. He ate them too. Saved on dog food.
No fibbing. He also killed 2 bobcats
@@hyzercreek Good luck on your fiction novel haha.
In the cat's defense, that is one enormous groundhog lol
Muslim bobcat or that groundhog would have been lunch.
North Dakota if it was Muslim than the groundhog would have been beheaded and raped
U guys r fucked in the head... I like it
Smart strategy on the part of the groundhog by advancing on the Bobcat to scare him away.
Of course, an adult Bobcat wouldn't have been quite so easily dissuaded, and the groundhog would have gotten killed quickly.
Bobcat wins every time. This one wasn't hungry.
House cat kills groundhog this is kitten trying to paly.
Damn the groundhog got more ball that the bobcat🤷🏾♂️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I've had a few GH's living in my yard. I leave them be
I think that bobcat was just playing
My cat kills those pretty easy they are strong indeed takes long for a domesticated cat to kill those
I let him kill them but not eat them
Because they already some how made hole into my moms basement and ATTIC?? I once saw one in the house when I came back from walking my dogs and cat
Which died once my dog spotted him
Now thanks to my cat there is no more holes and not a single one of them living under our house
I doubt house cats can take out a full grown groundhog. My dogs have gone after them from time to time and have gotten pretty badly bitten up in the process. Groundhogs have teeth and a hide on them like a beaver, can punch right through a dogs' skin with no difficult and would shred a cat's gelatinous skin in a flash. And they can roll around in their own skin to prevent muscle damage if something grabs them. The tiny teeth on house cats would never hurt them, let alone kill them.
So, unless your "cat" is a mountain lion, I'm not buying your story. Sorry.
Decriminalize Darwinism Standards are clearly low then because deer doesn't taste that great.
Yukkine Neko my jack Russell makes pretty quick work of them. Stupid dog lol
The ground hog clearly wasn't playing
People make a mistake letting their dogs run free to "hunt"; for one, domestic dogs are fed by humans, so they don't need the meat. Two, they can get illnesses from wild game, Three, it is cruel because wild animals lay it on the line every damn day, and I understand they must die--to feed a wild, starving predator-not your fat ass domestic dog. Last, I just watched a thing on a domestic dog allowed to roam. It found? A little deer and broke it's back "for fun". No cool double dog dare, not cool at all. The woman who owned the dog cried like a Baby and they did not even fine her, but people who own dogs (like you and me) should take responsibility for those dogs--to protect them and protect wildlife, period.
Did you see that @.40 that hog called him out bro.
The Bobcat was not playing. When it went in for the kill it was shocked that the groundhog hurt him.
