Aw! Who’s so ferocious? You are! Yes, you are!
He looks cute, but when fully grown, he will hunt prey up to 5 times his size, like rabbits and hares. Beware the cute murderer!
Couldn't find a better nibbler gif, this is a travesty
It's a good thing I'm at least 6 times his full-grown size then.
Shoot, I have some updated info for you. Turns out they can take down prey 10 times their size.
Run.

Welp, it's been an honor and a pleasure.
That cameraperson was sweating
Damn! Dude's a persistence hunter too! Like early humans hunting mammoths!
Also: those other rabbits are stone cold 😆
The other rabbits seem weirdly indifferent to what's going on.
Because they understand the stoat is killing to feed. One rabbit will last a stoat for days. That when Steve was really an asshole anyways. So the others have nothing to worry about until the stoat is hungry again.
Yeah, Karen is next up...
We have a little mink that lives at our cottage. It’s this sweet little thing that bounds across the rocks along the water. And within 5 minutes it returns carrying massive fish, frogs, or mice - I don’t know how it hunts so fast, but it is clearly an effective killer
And he does it with DANCE

Friend of mine has chickens, a stote dug a hole under the wall and went through a decent number of the flock before he was able to figure out and 'neutralize' it
