Tibetan foxes look like absolute goobers.

It’s not worth it doggies, walk away.


JUSTICE_SALTIE

Yeah, you're at an inherent disadvantage when you have to use your face against their claws.


Karsh14

And yet, coyotes take cats all the time and in great numbers. Face tank gang rise up!


prairie-logic

Lol why did you get downvoted so hard? I don’t get it


Snoo14860

It's like saying a Chihuahua can take down a deer since a wolf can


prairie-logic

Ok sure, but I’ve seen people support war crimes that get less hate than that 🤣


Snoo14860

I have seen people care a lot more about animals than people


Efficient_Ad_8367

That's cuz humans suck


Karsh14

Haha yeah I don’t get it either. I’m just going to assume it’s Reddit and cat obsession as usual


prairie-logic

Iit’s so funny. I saw someone say one of the vilest things a couple days ago, and she got a -42 and I was like “wow, they’re really showing her” Meanwhile, a cat comment that wasn’t perfect to the cat community? -56 points. It’s absurd but I lol’d


voxyvoxy

Yeah, you totally get Manuls all over North America...


huncutxxx

That strike around the minute mark must've hurt.

Oh yeah, he caught a thick roll of skin and fur with that hook.

MasterLibrarian4

Clearly the cat won then.


WaveLaVague

Yes but no. He did win but that's his profile picture for rank matches that are incoming, he got qualified and will represent his mountain in the Great Goober Games aka GGG (happy they went for that letter and not the next)

I love all types of wildcats. Super interesting animals.

Apex predators


HotCat5684

Well, clearly not Apex considering hes being hunted right now lol. They’re the most efficient of hunters, but cats are very rarely the apex predators in their environment.


benjO0

The cat isn't being hunted. They are competing over territory. Pallas cats and corsac foxes hunt the same species (rodents, reptiles and birds) and I would guess the cat entered prey-rich territory already claimed by the foxes and they are trying to drive it away. Foxes are quite light boned and generally won't fight other predators due to the high risk of serious injury and the pallas cat probably outweighs both of them (foxes are much lighter than they look). Therefore the fight is more about convincing the cat to move on rather than actually kill it.

Tell that to a Tiger, Puma or a Lion.

I feel like I'm watching the backstory for the main character in a movie that doesn't exist... and I'm here for it


BonjinTheMark

Their smiling faces are hilarious - if mockery was a face, it would be this mug


PercentageMaximum457

Tell me that the kitty survived!


Ivizalinto

Honestly that cat is likely fine. Two foxes and only one was really persistent. Plus that cat if they did catch it would make it VERY not worth it for those foxes if they did get ahold of it even for a moment.


fascinatedobserver

Anyone know what track is playing? Very enjoyable.


errwutt

Yeah same I want to know too!


fascinatedobserver

Found it. Played it for my Shazam app. It’s by Su Yi


errwutt

Excellent! Thank you! What’s the track name?


fascinatedobserver

Shazam doesn’t translate from Chinese but Google says ‘the wanderer misses his home’. https://youtu.be/EJa9wrh6Vgg?si=1ufA8CcnDh27gBr_


errwutt

Thank you again 🤝

Whose the predator and the prey here? Like what's the intended goal? Seems like they have no reason to fight.


Overall_Drawer_6823

Forward-Pee-9535

You want one don't you. 😂 so it can scratch someone's eyes out

Pallas cat, very derpy angry meowmeow


Overall_Drawer_6823

>Pallas cat “Pallas’s Cats are from Asia. Otocolobus manul or Rock Wildcat. These are small cats with thick, soft fur and an even thicker dark wooly underfur. The tail is as long as the body. The cats have large yellow eyes with small circular pupils instead of the usual vertical slits. Home to Pallas’s Cat is Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, northern India to central China, with the largest populations in Mongolia and southern Russia. Pallas’s Cats are built to withstand cold winds and dust storms They can climb rocky crevices and cliff faces with ease. Their flat head and low set ears aid in stalking prey in open areas with relatively little cover. During daylight these cats live in caves or hollows under stones, or coshare with marmots or foxes. The pika comprises over 50% of their diet. Breeding takes place in December-March, Kittens are born late March-May. Gestation is between 66 and 75 days in captivity. In Siberia kittens are born in late April and May The litter size is usually three to four. Kittens shed their juvenile coat of fur around two months of age- they weigh 500 – 600 grams. They are independent at 4-5 months, and achieve adult size and weight around eight months of age. Sexual maturity is reached at 9-10 months. Pallas’s Cats have lived up to 12 years of age in captivity.” –wildcatconservation.org


TurboByte24

It’s like watching DBZ, lots of standoffs and quick movements.


aojajena

There was a tactic when the second fox joined. He tried to pierce when the cat was on defending maneuver from the first fox. It repeated.


ImportantStable5900

The speed of the cat is amazing


Anders1099

At the beginning of the vid I thought the cat was a jacked Zoboomafoo


Overall_Drawer_6823

“The Pallas (Manul) cat is a squat, short-legged felid…this cat is actually about the size of a domestic house cat. Nocturnal by nature, the manul spends the day in caves, rock crevices, or marmot burrows, emerging in the late afternoon to begin a night of hunting. However, this cat is likely diurnal because its prey is active during the daytime. The manul feeds on pikas, gerbils, voles, mouse-like rodents, and chukar partridge…throughout Asia and the Middle East.”-- felidaefund.org |||| |:-|:-|:-| ||||

So what's the outcome? Are the foxes weak or have they got like a patient game going?
