Minks are something else man. They are leagues above Polecats and Ferrets in terms of strength, agility and attitude.

Excellent find! Very rare to see Quolls hunting like that.

"Porcupines discourage most predators by constantly turning and presenting their backside to an attacker. A porcupine's tail is a dangerous weapon."

WCS (Wildlife conservation Society) released a stunning set of camera trap images recorded last week that show the dramatic end for a large Sambar deer (possibly weighing 200-300 kilos) taken down by the suffocating bite of a leopard.

Leopard with Kudu kill

Then about five minutes later we saw her leap into the air, bounce once off the ground and jump on top of one of the adult female kudus. The kudu tried to turn around and run, but tripped over a small Kalahari apple leaf bush. The kudu fell to the ground with the female leopard securely attached to her throat. We re-positioned the vehicle and watched the female leopard suffocate the adult female kudu. It was incredible to see a +/- 35 kilogram (77 pound) female leopard take down an adult female kudu of +/- 170 kilograms (370 pounds)!
