- A hungry bobcat has made his way to the edge of a lake, in the snowiest region of Yellowstone National Park. The next step is to figure out a way to put duck on the menu.
From the Series: Epic Yellowstone: Fire and Ice bit.ly/2tUKOcW
He should just find some near sighted old woman and pretend he's a stray cat
TBH, he'd try to impersonate a stray cat on my door and I'd adopt him. And I'm no old woman.
This is the greatest comment I've seen all year :)
@@garryiglesias4074 he might eat any actual Housecats you have
@KSound Kaiju - I don't have any.
One time when I was a kid my mom and me were driving down a road at our cabin during the night. We saw what we first thought was a cat. We got out and tried coaxing with here kitty kitty and we realized as we got closer that's no stray cat thats a bobcat
A Bobcat Uses a Different Hunting Strategy to Catch a Cold - would be the only applicable title to this.
LOL!
🤣🤣
chussein1 now they Will learn suecide yhe just like humans 😂😂
Colds happen in winter not from the temperature itself but from humans spending more time indoors with others where germs are more easily transmitted.
Yeah big clickbait
Poor guy, wet, cold and no duck :(
I cried
I know 😞 😭😭😭
Yeah, I kinda felt bad for him, too.
duck evades him
Not even a muskrat :(
Narrator: "The stealthy hunter becomes slow, inefficient."
Bobcat: *looks at camera*
Bobcat: “Oh would you just be QUIET!!!”
Hunter Hooper xD 😂
@Takisch Keana 😂😂😂😂
Bobcat : What did you just say ? How about you come up here and show me how it's done ? Didn't think so...
The Bobcats that live near my apartment are really good at catching rabbits and mice. They also hide in the creek nearby in a drain pipe when the Mallards are around, jump out and grab one when they float by. I've seen them only catch one that way. They are amazing to watch. Suburban Bobcats...
All
The title should be called, "Hungry and Wet."
Lol
3:21 Who else felt bad for the cat?
Same here. I bet the Cat eventually realized Humans are nice they will share some food.
@@sirxavior1583 or humans just a bunch of living trash created by God that catches him to be sold on black market....
lol, I more laughed at the ducks laughing at the bobcat... although I also felt sad for him...
@@bakaweiner6956 lol you're both not wrong... depends which human... there's a huge range of very nice and caring people and cruel assholes... probably billions on each category and half the population somewhere in between...
Nope, bobcat just a stalker
Bobcats have no business being that cute
This bobcat is magnificent AF!
He just became my new favourite animal...👍
I like most animals more than I like most people. Saw a bobcat in the wild once. So cool.
The way he just stands there without moving at 3:20 is so cute. It's almost as if he was saying, "... dangit".
This barely even had anything to do with ducks..
Title is definitely misleading.
It tried to catch a rat which probably had a duck inside its belly
Not true--the bobcat ducked under cover.
the bobcat got lured there by ducks, tried to hunt a duck, failed hunting a duck, crouched to capture a duck, never hunted a duck.
It's really not that funny, but I'm still quacking.
What a beautiful creature.
the ducks are like, " hey guys lets go over there...paddle paddle paddle..."
Such a beautiful animal. Sucks he couldn’t catch his meal though. Hopefully he found something further inland!
Or hopelessly die hungry.
Muskrat 🐀: “Ohhhh you gotta be quicker than that “ 😂😂😂
HE LOOKED SO SAD WHEN HE GOT RIVER MUCK INSTEAD OF FOOD! I FEEL SO BAD FOR THE CAT!
Same.
When the narrator said, "...an unexpected target arises," I thought, "An alligator?! WTF?! That is unexpected." Then it was a muskrat. Bummer.
Smithsonian have the best narrators narrating excellent commentary ever! I could just listen to them for days and still can’t get enough. The way the narrator phrased it, “the worse thing than being hungry, is being hungry and wet.” I ❤️ Smithsonian!
you saying that makes me think you never saw an attenborough-narrated documentary.
Old guy narrating those BBC documentaries is best imo.. Mr Attenborough is simply a legend...
Saw a bobcat running across my yard while sitting on my porch this summer. It was at the edge of dark and I couldn’t believe my eyes! Keep my small dog close by always. We have beavers too…didn’t know the bobcat would go after them…they can be fearless.
Great video, full beauty of great hunter.
I love Bobcats!
Same!
😂😅🤣 Lol at the ducks laughing in the background after the bobcat loses the muskrat
Such a beautiful creatures.. 👌🏻
The ducks’ quack says it all 😂
My heart will go on is playing in background.
the only thing worse than being hungry is being hungry and wet
All the effort turned to nothing. How cruel nature is
Ah, the laws of nature be a harsh mistress
Uhhh, are you new here?
The zoo doesn't look so bad after all....
Depends on the side you're on... this time nature was good to the muskrat.
But yep, it's a tough world out there for both sides.
Congratulations on the amazing filming and the masterful narration!
Royal Society of Ducks approves this video as safe.
The bobcat sets up a lemonade stand
The 🦆's had a good laugh!
Where are the full episodes?
No ducks caught....Move along nothing to see here folks
Nothing to see? How often do you see such a beautiful bobcat like this in such HD quality? Not getting the prey is part of nature too.
@@citizenofterra r/whoooosh
What? Nature is beautiful and this cat is not only fascinating but also beautiful. Its amazing isnt it?
unkledoe i wish i can slap the hell outta you
An incredibly beautiful animal and a well made video. 4 minutes well spent.
That Kitty Looks Like Has Already Been Eating Well
That's a beautiful Bobcat hell of a hunter
Who else thought the bobcat was going to catch something?
Beautiful cat ❤
Amazing voice. But we need to see the bobcat eat!
That’s just some old lady’s cat gone wild
Oh the classic cat and canary will never stop
awww poor kiddy kat
Bobcat: A cat's gotta eat.
Poor kitty
600 bucks for her coat ha ha
vicent harke NOOOOOOOOOO HOW COULD YOU !!!!!!
The title should have been "Bobcat watches ducks swim away.
Oh you poor, kitty kitty.😂
It's ok, bobcat can try again for his meal.
Azliana Lyana Nope he died of hypothermia shortly after this video was taken.
@@mikekoz68 Shut up it's a cat not a human
cnon Bobcats can’t die of hypothermia? Only humans? Pretty sure all animals can die of hypothermia.....excluding some insects, maybe invertebrates....but def all mammals
Oh sorry, mike died of cancer after he replied to cnon.
Oh wait, my mom is Muslim. And if she’s Muslim, she can’t get a date or a boyfriend she can only get married which she got married with my dad :)
Misleading title.
Awww, at 3:20 the bobcat looks so sad and miserable 😢... He's even got wet weeds hanging from his mouth, poor guy lolol
What a majestic creature though, hopefully he had some good hunting after that!
Bobcats are also known as a lynx
Lynx is a different species
Yea, what a gyp! I guess I’m not the only guy who clicked on this to see the satisfaction of the bobcat licking it’s chops having enjoyed a duck or two.
Looks straight into my soul 1:19 😂
70 years later, Jerry wins again
😾😡(🐭🤣)
No duck is harmed on this movie. Lol..
what a very cute creature
The narrator sounds like he’s making a Ford commercial.
Cute bobcat 😂😂😂😍😍
0:28 what a beautifull face
Poor little guy! I hope he found something to eat later on.
He mercilessly slaughtered some other animal later. Or he died. Only those two options exist.
Living in such a cold place has to be imPAWsible
Bet you didn’t see that one coming
You are right. Didn't see that coming. :)
Bobcat probably would have caught something if it didn't have a camera crew following it around.
Aren’t they like super far away with big ass zooms?
That tail is sooo cute
That is beautiful cinematography and the voice is very good (it sounds familiar)
Cat pounced and missed the target.
Smithsonian Channel: It is brighter here.
😂This Bobcat reminds me of North American ground transportation recruiters, relentlessly in search of prey!😂
Why does this channel keep putting out these teasers but never full-length videos? I hate this channel!
to get boomers that still have a regulart TV to buy their bloated PPV package
@@MrFiddleedee How do you think they are able to afford filming documentaries like this? CZcams revenue?
@@jamesgraham2198 numerous youtubers have angled their audience base to get third-party sponsorships. the quality of what they produce is tv-grade and the content isn't found anywhere.
shows like Captain Disillusion, Tim Pool, TierZoo are a few of examples of commercial grade television that is available for free on youtube by people that get paid to do it in some for or another.
tl;dr yes, youtube revenue.
@@MrFiddleedee those shows have very low producion costs and only need to sustain 1/ a small amount of people, this is very different
Uses a different hunting strategy to catch a duck yet it didn't even hunt the duck, nor catch it. uhhhhh...
2:50 Well that was a refreshing bath
Domino's delivers kitty.
Thank you for the video.
1:19 That Look
Why don't you upload full episode?
They want you to purchase Smithsonian plus subscription
@@Metacognition88 Which I may do, when my new OLED TV arrives 🙂
Are we missing the catch a duck scene?
Pretty Kitty Sneaky Kitty ,, Amazzing How They And Other Animals & Birds Survive The Cold And Harsh Weather Conditions💖💕💙❄❄❄🌲🌲🌬
There goes 4 minutes of my life I'll never get back!
That was a happy ending.
No it wasnt
If Bobcat not want pet, why Bobcat so cute
He big mad after falling into the water ... Daaaamn
He can rock up my place and i will feed and shelter him forever. 😁
Poor Bobcat. I'll feed and pet him! 😢🐱
Gorgeous
Bobcat thought he was jaguar
Jaguars are the same size as Tigers and Lions. It is leopards that are smaller. Altho bobcat is even smaller. Mountain lion is comparable to leopard size. Maybe some lions/tigers.
@@blackout07blue jaguars are half the size of tigers and lions average male jaguar is around 200 pounds and average male lion and tiger are well over 400 only reason for the jaguar reference is because they actively hunt along the rivers edge looking for prey. They are known for diving into water to make a kill
1:16 straight out of a movie!
Its Robert T. Katt, thank you.
These sands are cold but khajiit feels warmness from your presence
still that poor missing-prey bobcat and those trolling ducks that always laughed at him whenever he missed the prey
Wow ! I came on this channel just to see a Bobcat actually catch its prey 😳 I see other videos where people domesticate them, but in part I can see why 🤷🏾♂️ They don’t look large enough to take on a fully grown deer, so I am truly truly curious now. 🤔
I want to snuggle with it ❤️❤️❤️
Not quite what I was expecting
On the other hand Lynx, isn't that a similar animal with big feet like snowshoes which does well in the snow? Wonder if their ranges overlap & if they can interbreed.
the only thing worse than being hungry and wet is being hungry and wet
and embarrassed.
At 2:50 rat says hey bob u got to work hard for ur food.
That cat is hardcore
Hey Smithsonian - where's all the ducks you promised?
Once there was a bobcat in Maine and the townsfolk hunted it down, nearly 100 years ago
I never like it when they put different shots from different times or even days to somehow make a story!
I have three laying on the bed beside me. They are exactly like housecats. Except bigger appetite
Poor Kitty, how can I bring him some food?
What was the strategy again? Didn't see it.
