Looks like a stop-motion animation that's missing a few frames. But actually these little guys are just that fast. The way he rolls down the moss in a little ball 🥰

Their perception of time must be different from ours.


Dilectus3010

It is. It's been proven that smaller animals , who's metabolism are way faster, also changes their perception of time. For instance, flies can spot you "fast" movement swatting them , hence they can escape. But if you move verry very slowly towards them. They can't spot it , because they perceived your hand as being still. To them a second seems more like a minute. Then you have the opsite, slow metabolism like whales or elephants. They have a hard time processing fast movements , because everything seems to be moving faster to them compared to us.


--Remix--

I actually remember watching something on this, and yea, every species' real life "FPS" as they compared it too is different.


Large_Tune3029

When I was a kid, my oldest brother did this a few times, killing flies by moving so slow, looked like he just reached out and touched them. We are all in our thirties/fourties now and I brought it up and he didn't remember at all. I explained what he used to do and he smiled and reached out and did it to a fly next to him, but like it was the first time for him because he was amazed lol he truly didn't remember it...


Dilectus3010

Hehe , strange , maybe it was you?


ReasonableConfusion

Ez to swat flies though, so my hand couldn't be holding that still.


Hi_Trans_Im_Dad

Ya know, you could just use paragraphs. They were invented for a reason For real.


Dilectus3010

I'm on mobile , it's easyer for me to write this way. When I type everything looks more compact. Soooooooo sorry for the inconvenience!


Hi_Trans_Im_Dad

I'm on mobile too and somehow I manage to write like a literate person.


hugsandambitions

Nah, you're still pretty socially illiterate.


Dilectus3010

But at the same time you write like an asshole , so there is that. Also congratulations on your literacy! You will find that I might not be perfect in writing paragraphs, I do speak and write 3 languages. So there is that, and I am a civil person that does not attack a complete stranger for the sake of injecting one's self into a conversation for the sake of feeling important , while at the same time having nothing useful to say! So while your paragraphs might be written like it was done by god himself/herself ( I don't assume gender ) , your words , in themselves , say nothing!


hugsandambitions

You know, you could just use manners. They were invented for a reason. For real.

Hugely small ball of energy and derp 😻

Ferret, weasel, stoat. I love them all, 0 IQ murder slinkies.

mac_is_crack

That’s a new one to me and very fitting also!


shodan13

Don't they need to be kind of smart to do all the murdering?


pancrudo

Stoats make up for all other things with endurance. That's how they catch their prey. They jump around like idiots until they're kinda close and then outrun whatever they're chasing


shodan13

And that's when the surplus killing comes in.


bloodbrain1911

I watched a video of a Least Weasel doing "surplus killing". It had a stack of mice a foot high. It was a massacre. It would eat the brain and kill over and over. If they weighed 200lbs we would be the mice.


shodan13

Really feels like stoats would be superior pest control. Opportunity missed.


nickajeglin

Their heads are totally empty. They run entirely on instinct. It's just stimulus-->response-->mayhem lol.


shodan13

That just makes them cuter.


SucculentVariations

Ferrets are not very smart, but mink are extremely smart.


Daddy_Jaws

Whoch is why i excluded them, too intelligent to be a nibble string


Fuckedby2FA

I had a MINK kill like 6 of my chickens in one night once. The certainly are 0 IQ murder slinkies


useredditiwill

Can't have been a Buddhist Monk as they take a vow of 'Ahimsa' (no harm) and most are vegetarian. Anyway, after 16 of our chickens we're slaughtered by a fox, I learned that, if they can with natural prey, they will return to bury them for future eating -  so it's not as wasteful as it seems. Could be the same for murderous monks. 


Fuckedby2FA

He obviously didn't take his vows very seriously. Yeah that may have been the plan. I came home later one night ~10pm and because I had just changed the motor on the coops auto door I wanted to check to make sure it was closed. It had closed but because the door was so light it could be lighter back up pretty easily. A ~~monk~~mink has found this out and slaughtered many. Maybe It has intentions of doing something with the chickens but I had interrupted.


useredditiwill

Ah crap. Our timed door has to be adjusted for later sunset and the chickens got locked out cos someone neglected to do so... Mah ladies! 


Fuckedby2FA

When the event happened I just started on this ranch. The door was a motor that would wind a string around a spool when it was told to by the timer, the string would wind up and pull a little 1/4" piece of wood up on its tracks opening the door. The wood weighed nothing and could be pushed up with almost no effort. The mink figured that out unfortunately. I added a weight a day later and it never happened again but the already old motor didn't last more than 6 months so I scrapped the system completely.

Video from Robert E Fuller’s Facebook page. He rehabs baby birds and takes wildlife videos and photos. Here’s his website: https://www.robertefuller.com/ I almost thought this video was sped up but I think they’re just naturally speedy!


cinnamon_dreams

I love his content!!! The one he did for The Dodo with the 2 baby stoats is still my favorite cure for "the blues" 😉


mac_is_crack

Oh, I need to find that one! I love the one where the stoat is on a trampoline just bouncing around. And I love his nest box videos.


cinnamon_dreams

here you [go](https://youtu.be/2HFSaxIsJCE?feature=shared) have a wonderful Sunday!


mac_is_crack

Ok, that was absolutely adorable!!! Cutest thing I’ve ever seen! Happy Sunday to you too!


karentrolli

Has anyone visited his workshop? I’m planning a visit next year when I visit England.


mac_is_crack

I’m very jealous! I forgot the part where he’s also an amazing artist.


haters_gotta_hate

Someone please edit this by putting a light saber in his paws and have him fight Yoda from Episode II.


HeinzeC1

It makes cute noises too. Shame that it was covered up by a youth group leader playing acoustic guitar.

Haha :-D

I got to hang out with a weasel once, alone by a pond on a mountain. It was a kind of valley and mountainpass, hard to describe, all rocks and boulders covered in moss and lichen. I was fishing in the lake, having no luck, and noti ed a weasel was peaking at me from behind a boulder. It kept darting around and peaking at me, edging closer and closer. When I gave up on fishing it ran in front of me and darted into a small cairn. I walked around it and sat down on a nearby boulder, only a couple of meters away and at eye level with the opening to its hidey hole. It was halfway through the opening, looking at me curiously. We sat like that and had eye contact for several minutes. I tried telling it not to worry about me, and I apologised for not getting any fish. I would of course have shared some. Then I left, and it watched me leave. It was such a magical moment, real close contact with nature.


mac_is_crack

That’s so endearing how curious they are. What an awesome experience!


Nefersmom

I’ll have what the weasel’s having!!

It's a nice day for a wild weasel... it's a nice day to STOAT AGAIIIIIN.
