I'm surprised by how quickly and effortlessly it was able to subdue the cat and achieve a throat hold. I gained an appreciation for how incredibly agile and fast domestic cats are over the years, looks like I have now appreciation for the same thing in coyotes too. Edit: On another not this also shows that felines don't furiously kick their attacks to escape like they do in intraspecies conflict with one another. Something I have always noted.

they do, i have seen several videos of them doing it when attacked by dogs and such. They do it in explosive bouts, but obviously due to stamina they can't keep doing it for long periods. foxes also do it, there are videos of them using their hind legs when pinned down by lynxes and terriers. they seem to be the only canine that does. |

They use their hind legs in self defense in interspecies conflict, but the performance looks different. When two cats fight each other they wildly slash with their hind legs repeatedly until they run out of steam. In scenarios with another species, let's say a dog, the cat will use its hind legs to drive its rear claws into its opponent then push itself away from the attacker. They often stay in such a position in hopes that the attacker will let go or at least try to adjust its bite. When the dog opens its mouth, the legs already locked into a pushing motion propels the cat away from the attacker's jaws and it now has a chance to escape. Sometimes it looks like the cat is frozen and doing nothing, but in reality it is using its body to force itself away from whatever has ahold of it. Seen it with cats in videos and in person. It's rather effective if the cat is attacked by a dog that doesn't like to maintain a grip when hurt. Dogs that bite and shake seem better at thwarting this stragiety |

I guess in cat fights the felines are more offensive in their attacks, actively trying to damage their opponent, whereas against a coyote or dog the motive is too lessen the damage to themselves and get out of there. |

What it is the point of this comment? To try and make his claims less valid? Killing a house cat is easy in comparison to most of the animals you listed there. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSlmRBvFaic&t=21s Im amazed to see a wildebeest putting up such a defense against two lionesses that already had it on the ground. Also shows massive neck strength, hanging around 120 kg of lion with one horn Edit: damn youtube link gave me problems Edited by Wombatman, May 14 2018, 03:34 AM.

AWD's seem to be more wary of cheetahs then they generally are with hyenas and leopards |
