Wow. They're pretty amazing. Do you think the stoat follows a particular martial art discipline? Or is he just freestyling? Lmao.
Wow... that's something you don't see every day.
Am I imagining it or does the rabbits eyes look a bit puffy as if it had myxomatosis?

Yes. Great Photos. The stoat has greater stamina, they just keep on chasing the rabbit, until they wear it down. It's a hell of a chase to watch
I think the Rabbit is ten times its weight, but they normally drag them off somewhere private to eat them.

Fantastic pictures I remember seeing a rabbit being brought down by a stoat years ago when I was working at the ordinance factory in Somerset. the rabbit was trying to out run the stoat but the stoat found a burst of energy and pounced onto the rabbits back and bit through the back of it's neck stopping the rabbit straight away. the part of the chase I saw was only about 5 or 6 seconds but it was amazing to see.

Amazing shots and interesting to see attack from the front. Have heard that rabbits tend to freeze in front of a stoat, but most of the stoat kills I have seen on poultry and rabbits the kill is a bite through the back of the skull.

Amazing photos. I started work as a 'keepers boy on an estate which had loads of gravel pits which were then landfilled and reclaimed as grassland. Never seen anywhere with so many stoats (and rabbits), I learnt a lot about them and have an enormous respect for them. Someone once said that if a stoat was the size of a Labrador men wouldn't dare walk in the countryside. Glyn.
Those are weasely the best pictures I've seen of a rabbit being taken, it stoatally brilliant.
Did you have to badger your mate for the pictures?
Yeah, I'll get my coat.
