    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!

      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.

          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 and Steve was really an asshole anyways. So the others have nothing to worry about until the stoat is hungry again.

      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

      I read the comment above yours in your profile pic’s voice before seeing it. Watching with little man for first time and he just met Nibbler!
