Bobcat VS Rattlesnake - - Fight!

Danger noodle got eaten.

That bobcat is NOT a PUSSY!

For a moment I thought Bob was done, but he was just scratching.
I don't thing he got bite, with that size even a small amount would have been fatal.

I wonder what happens if they eat the head with venom.

Yes you can, but it takes a lot of work to get the 'feral' out without loosing the personality.

What a magnificent animal that bobcat is!

I hate rattlesnakes!

I doubt they eat the head. They know it's poison.

When we kill rattlers at the ranch, we even cut the head off and bury it, so the yellow jackets won't eat the poison and then bite people! It's not the snake meat, it's the poison in the glands, we don't want to take any chances, we're a long way from medical care. Once you kill the snake, do not handle the head with anything but a shovel, the severed head can strike you, even after it's cut off!

Hmmm mmmm, the video shows the bobcat on Oct 6th killing and eating the snake. It also shows the bobcat the next day on October 7th and the cat looks fine to me.
I don't think you know what you're talking about and if you do, please tell me and let's slow screen those shots where the snake connected with the cat cause I don't believe it ever did.

Yup.


We lived in a second story apartment at first. He was sitting in the window when he spotted a loose dog in the parking lot.


Fucker broke the window and jumped off the balcony and latched on to the dog.

Took me two brooms to get him off. Hated dogs.


To this day, I sleep with all my limbs safely tucked under the sheets.

Hilarious. I’m stealing that.

came back and rolled around in the crime scene

Let it be know to all other rattlesnakes who cross this path, this is where is where one of your kind fucked around and found out.

Bobcats are badass....

So you're my FBI agent huh. Spying on my youtube history.

Amen

Ho lee carp! Compared to the kitteh, these dawgs are crude and VICIOUS.....

The meat is fine, they serve rattlesnake meat at fine restaurants.

It's the head where the poison is. Even a severed snake head can strike you after the snake is dead.

Have always had Bob Cats around everyplace I have lived as an adult.

They can kill a small deer with no problem, high end weight limit for the average Bob Cat is 75 lbs. No a small child is NOT safe from them. Nor are your pets like cats and dogs, small goats, sheep, new born calves or foals.

As far as the rattlers are concerned ... some of my cats thought it was fun to mess with the rattles ... they died. Have had several dogs kill rattlers but they got bit on their faces.

Had one small baby goat get its lips ripped up when she got to close to a small rattler here on the ranch. She lived after three weeks of feeding her with a syringe to keep her alive.

The last rattler I killed, a few months back, had 9 rattles on it. Not the biggest snake or set of rattles I have gotten over the past 40+ years of living in snake country.

And YES, they can taste like Chicken!

Agreed. Could’ve sworn that cat got bit a few times, but it appears not. Or it is immune. One or the other. Either way, a cool display of nature.
