- Weasel Flying on a Woodpecker. In what must have been a surreal moment, Martin Le-May witnessed a weasel flying on the back of a woodpecker. Although an event like this is almost unheard of it can kind of be explained considering the relationship both animals share in the wild. I’ll leave it to you to guess why or how the weasel ended up on the woodpecker’s back.

No time to explain, get on my back!

Lol🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣

God: "Send the weasel, it's getting too crowded down there."
Melton Pro. Lol.
Could you imagine if they teamed up for real?
"Go forth and multiply." I think Father made this place fully capable of sustaining, even with the tares in mind.
Imagine being there to film the precise moment that was a one in a trillion scene of a weasel riding on the back of a woodpecker and people won't believe it isn't photoshopped!
bruh
From my many experiences with weasels I know this is totally possible. This animal looks like a stoat which is also known as an ermine when it turns white in the winter. They are in the mustelid family which includes badgers, wolverines, martens,mink, fishers and others. Ermine and mink have actually found a way to get in my basement and the ermine has come upstairs often. They only come inside in the late fall to sometime in the winter. Actually I haven't seen a mink inside for several years. I saw the ermine today for a few seconds. It found nothing to kill and left.
Weasel: "Fly you fools!"
+mjg01906 YES!
Haha😂nice
hehe
Me and my weasel gang will conquer America, Canada and Mexico
Lime Lives Matter You could have just said North America instead of naming off the countries. -_-
Massacres 30 chickens, eats 0.
Weasels don't massacre animals just as wolves do not kill numerous prey. They wouldn't survive if they eliminated animals en masse!
That's not true. I raised 25 chickens in high school and they were all killed in an hour by one weasel which climbed through a gap in the top of the chicken wire, which was caught on my dads security camera. It didn't even eat a single one of them just killed them all.
Sounds like the Indominus rex in Jurassic World
@@gjd1942 This is incorrect. Weasels really do just massacre for no reason even when they have a surplus of food.
It's the ritual to become Sith lords
Wow. They are cold blooded killers, for such a little cute animal
"Pro Tip: Never let them near your chicken stash" I always remembered those words, no matter what the situation was, those words seemed to help me get through the obstacles of life, whether it was just another day battling depression, fighting the organization set to keep me in delusion, or tomahawking a weasel who took one step to close to my chickens, they did the job. What it was about them that made them special to me is something I never grasped, but when it comes down to it, I think they just comforted me, they made my head clear, they let me see the light in those moments of oblivion, and they have saved my life countless times. Those words are my friends.
I don't know what I just read, but I liked it!
Animal Wire the music in the background reminds me of pokemon?
+Mustache Walrus hi - i totally get it - glad you have your 'friends'' - finding something that helps us is just something one needs - so right on, MW. you go!! :}

Never let them near your chicken stash or your mustache.
This weasel wanted to fly first class man.
I was thinking that, he probably saw a bunch of dull colored birds'n said "nope I wants me that green one dayrr" smiling with missing teeth 🤣
When I heard the word Weasel, Buck from Ice age 3 came in to my mind. haha
*"Buck goes the weasel!"*
Yep
Ozzy
“Every wondered why weasels don’t have wings!?!?!”
Me: no?
Weasel: "I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky"
Imagine a dog sized Weasel. Cities would be wiped out.
I can't imagine that :(
@@riansetiawan038 I can, weasels are one of THE most flexible mammals on earth. Imagine a dog sized weasel coming at you, you have a gun but every time you try to aim it contorts and changes direction. Not to mention they are hella fast. A good portion of the human population have never faced an apex predator threat. To us, other humans are Apex. So we have a standard response. Throw in a beastial apex an all bet go out the window
if human bigger look like chicken for weasels dog size😂
I clicked on this thinking they‘d be friends and disney movies came true

if they would be the size of a medium dog,
we couldn t walk the forest safely...
these little preds are crazy!
12 gauge with deer slugs will handle the situation just fine.
@@scottouellette9411 Assuming you can hit them, mustelids are super agile.
@@Ryodraco he is a filthy idiot that's always relies on his gun lol
There were two prehistoric mustelids that were larger than a wolverine. Wolverines themselves grow to about 35 lbs. Look up Megalictis ferox.
@@alexxa5584 Wolverines can reach over 50 lbs.
The woodpecker is like "come this is no place to die"
First video I've seen from you guys. Absolutely loved it. Great stuff.
Nothing left to kill? Damn, sounds like the Indominous rex.
+Leonardo puentes lmao I just saw that movie on the plane last week and I was thinking that too, but forgot what it was called.
i was thinking the same these little beast kill for sport lol
Burst That angry bitch is gonna destroy us all.
The Indominus Rex was really something... she just killed plainly for sport.
Hi sexy
The woodpeckers face in the thumbnail is HILARIOUS!!!
XD My favorite part of this video when he said "mhmmm raisins :3"
This was wild from start to finish
I see what you did there :P
and i like it
haha
+Nadine Botterman We can make it wilder if you sit on my fucking face. ;)

I don't know if Nadine is that wild! ;-)
okay why is the video so shaky!?
+MasterXG it covers up the photoshop work

@Freaky Behavior I-
'Never let near you chicken stash' 😂
Well, that'll teach those woodpeckers not to eat baby bird brains.
Great narration. I laughed so hard throughout this.
Especially at “we have lift off”
Jesus Christ, I guess this narrator is trying to appeal to the idiotic MTV crowd or something
MatthewLedZepfan
MTV crowd? I think you are 20 years too late for this comment.
hahha is this a joke or something xD im dead and the music Tnutntuntntutnutntutn
Do you even need to use the name of the Lord like that?? Do not use the name of the Lord like that.

+Malamute456 Me too! Fuck weasels and racoons! It's on! cage built for my flock (oops, my stash!) - weapons loaded. When you have a family flock of chickens, they become like pets. So, imagine going out and finding your cats and dogs laying around like that. Kinda pisses you off!
Malamute456 let's hope there not part raptor to.
Malamute456 clever girl...
@1:50 You mean “never let this guy get near your weed stash”. 😂
Wiesel on top of woodpecker in mid air reminds me of the space shuttle on the back of a 747, going for a free ride.
So Disney movie "The Rescuers" was based on a true story. XD

PROBABLY THE BEST VIDEO ON YOU TUBE. THANX.
This is my favourite picture ever
who the fuck wrote the script lol
you did fitzburger
M Fitzburger a
WOW!!!
M Fitzburger hy friend how are you
Wtf?! Well, thanks for my new horrifying fear of WEASELS!!
you're fine
Dustin Sanders From weasel attacks, lol?
Cuz we got these wild turkeys... man, they can get fight'y. So, yea... I wouldn't be surprised 😏
Turkeys can fly, they just don't do it often. They can if need be.
nice hair BTW madame.
Dustin Sanders Lol, thanks sweetheart!!
All purple'y 😆
So, okay... I thought turkeys could only, kinda... idk... hover a while. They fly now?!?
All I know is they get all mean n chase you, so you gota yell at um like some flipped-out wack'ado till they go away.
Wild turkey attack 101 😋
Weasel: FASTER FASTER FASTER! GET READY TO GET YOUR ASS KICKED HUMAN! Human: oh sh*t!
Beautifully coloured birds too I’m glad the weasel didn’t succeed on this occasion
" No Problemo " lmao
Oh how the mighty Tyrannosaur has fallen due to evolution...
Gerald Garcia Fallen? Or just gotten smaller and now has equally-lengthed limbs all around?
KrayZJoy fallen as in that it was a megapredator and is now the most eaten farm animal.
KrayZJoy He is talking about the chickens; which are descended from theropod dinosaurs like T-Rex.
"Have you ever wondered why weasels don't have wings?"
BOY DO I!
because they are mammals
I’d bet that the weasel that killed all of those chicken in the photo was wearing a white hood. And was using concealed knives. Lol
“No views”
CZcams stop it
...Ok..That kinda cancels out the Chubracabra theory???
not really... thats goats, not chickens
*Chupacabras (goatsucker) not chicken rider
Here is the little secret : Indoraptor has some of the weasels DNA too.
The most wanted video
So they basically kill for fun?
They are assholes then. Wasting food is always bad.
Damn, those chickens at 1:43 could have come fresh to the market.
Humans waste thousands of more times than animals so...
what show is that buffed worm from
+Christian Torres false, its prove that animals actualy waster 65% more than humans, get your facts right
Colonel Gayfur source?
+Christian Torres can you just TRY and find your god damn infos youself? Is it at hard to use a computer? Seriously...
Another picture with no video backing it up
So are you implying that this picture is fake?
***** It's an awesome series of pictures with good background information. It's practically a mini-documentary. What's wrong with that? Not everyone can take video the moment they see something amazing happens and these pictures are truly spectacular. p.s. The title doesn't lie about its content.
"Hey how you doing little pecker let me whisper in your ear. When you see my OHHH, When you see my UHH"
Nobody :
Weasel : You my uber ?
I thought it was going to fly through the air and like use it for travel like Uber
01:48 Why farmers are right to own guns.
+Kelly14UK It would be hard not too. Even for a small family farm. Rats, racoons, (and now, dammit) weasels, foxes, hawks and eagles) I have lost many hens to wildlife. I try to be selective. As a fox, hawk, eagle only take what they need, i tend to shoot over their heads. They never come back, smart little devils! Racoon - Dead! I have seen a nightmare scenario like the one pictured with a group of hens i had raised for about 2 years. I fought the racoons every day - patching anywhere they got into my coop. Finally they ripped a roof board off - came down in and killed every chicken - one bite out of each! It was hard to see. So now - no mercy for racoons in my yard!
+Gs Wovoka Sadly i have to agree with you, you have a living to protect. We townies and city people don't live in the country, it's a different world you live in. The elements are at war with you.
Gs Wovoka Foxes would slaughter the lot of them for fun, not even to eat them.
I knew this video was going to be bs but I still clicked
The look on that woodpeckers face.. you know he got jacked
Talk about being an invasive species, Weasels attack anything for no reason.
Nice comeback, "Weasel".
I agree 100 percent with Weasel.
I'm sure they have a reason, you just don't know what the reason is.
George Kaler Humans aren't invasive unless you're talking about Antarctica. We're found on 6 continents natively and are part of the top predator tier and are completely natural.
Virak Sim greatest bullshit ever heard, we spread from africa around 100000 years ago and everywere we went, we erased other species without further reasons, how about you get yourself some education you god damn moron
and we're not predators we're omnivores with the ability to hunt and based on our natural senses and our body strukture, we're the most pathetic species that actually hunts..
1. Not the best title for a video. 2. Does the camera guy have Parkinson's?

it was found out not long ago that the photographer said it was auctally attacking the woodpecker and it survived
OH MY GOD THIS IS ACTUALLY KRAMER PHOTOSHOPPING COMEDY ALBUMS
My neighbors kept chickens on their property (as pets, not for food or profit, these people were pretty well-off) and refused to sell the surplus of the clucking and cock-a-doodle-doo-ing little bastards, even though it was against the local codes to have their number of chickens on their property and they were making a hell of a racket every damn morning and all day. After several complaints from myself and other neighbors, and these neighbors just hiding the additional animals every time an official came calling, I 'accidentally' caught a couple of stoats (larger type of weasel) and let them loose near the chicken pen one night (yet on my property so I couldn't be charged with wrong-doing). Not. A. Single. One. Survived.
My neighbors didn't keep too many chickens after that. >:)
And now that story is on the internet. GG
Kaylee DracoWing Oi, still not illegal (the cops went over my story and the facts with a fine-toothed comb) so I might as well share it. :)
+The Matulaak Holy Toledo - i don't know whether to say 'right on!" or whoa! but your neighbors sure got what they deserved (not the little chickens).
+Surplus Farts All hail the stoat authority.
+Surplus Farts Wikipedia: "The stoat (Mustela erminea), also known as the short-tailed weasel, is a species of Mustelidae native to Eurasia and North America, distinguished from the least weasel by its larger size and longer tail with a prominent black tip."
When I saw the title "weasel rides woodpecker", I was looking forward to something else...
I`m impressed at how woodpeckers don`t get brain damage.
Best friend goals
Now I know where the saying "you little weasel" comes from.
"ever wonder why weasels don't have wings?"
Me: no why would i even-
*WELL CUZ*
This is epic
hahaha i LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!! when im doing the dishes ill make a playlist. =)
Thumbnail : Wow so cuteee
After watching video : Wtf! it killed all the chickens?
dude, this is cool
That weasel is a badass.
Well that depressed me as I thought that photo was of love between a Weasel and a Woodepecker
Weasel to its friends : Bet i can fly
weasel discover's new form of transportation
And I don't know why I ever thought they'd make a great pet. Even for a second!
STFD proper Harry Potter, sign that little guy up 🤣
These mustelids are savage AF
Pop goes the weasel and the weasel go pop
And thanks to that 1:43........... There is one real real pissed off farmer
That weasel just happened to be one of the pivotal pilots in operation desert storm I hope you show more respect next time
Very smart the woodpecker was like if am dying you coming with me when we hit the ground
Thanks for excellent explanation of this fascinating picture, I have seen this picture around for some time now and wondered why and how this came about, now I know, well done woodpecker, brings new dimension to phrase 'fight or flight'
Comments are 4-5 years old but still got 2020 humor, ok boomer👌🏿
They are so freaking adorable though.
Yep,he's a little weasel😆
Damn weasels are bloody vicious. And my naive self thought it was a happy accident.They’d make perfect villainous characters in a fiction story.
Idk why but this is funny af
Most people do not know it: but woodpeckers are actually known for their high lift wing potential. They say it is the result of evolution as woodpeckers have for many eons carried loads of acorns held in fig leaf bags upon their backs to the nesting sites.
We were having a party last April on the back-yard deck, and a woodpecker landed on the deck railing and from its back dropped a pit bull. We put an ad in the paper and found the owner of the dog, and it turns out he lived twenty-three miles away.
Amazing birds!
It's just young love. A love that cannot be denied.
Amazing photo of the green woodpecker carrying the weasel. Reminds me of the old joke about the male mouse making love to the female elephant. Just as the mouse is really going for it, the elephant stands on a thorn and let's out a yelp. "Oh. sorry", says the mouse. "Am I hurting you".
anyone else remember the old foghorn leghorn cartoons with the weasel and the chicken hawk? just thought of that when i saw the chicken stash. lmao.
My friend wild weasel lives in the house. She's a short tailed weasel. She had countless opportunities to kill my rabbits but didnt. Likely because she's super small (that weasel in your video with the rabbit was much bigger. A normal sized weasel lol). Also because my rabbits are in a group and rabbits aren't push overs lol. A single rabbit in a cage or in the wild is likely an easier target than 8 in a space that can watch each other's backs.
I've seen how my rabbits are inside now to my rat. She wants to make friends and escapes her cage to play with Amber the rabbit that has a cage on top of hers and Amber attacks her (she's so quick she gets away but still she's ready for a fight). Felicity my rat is as big around as that little weasel. The weasel is just stretched out lol. Felicity isn't a full grown female rat so let that give an idea of size. The weasel is full grown though.
So anyway my friend has slept near my rabbits pen when they were outside for days at a time we would find her there. If she was starved I'm sure she would risk it but this year has been terrible with voles. An explosion of population. Last year they ate the cords in my birth mom's house she lives across the street. Her electricity is messed up now they got in her walls.
This year they moved into ours and our shed. She went from the shed to the house and since she moved in no sign of a vole. She's either killed them all or others have moved on after seeing the destruction.
She's perfect in every way. You need to understand that my bf wanted to use sticky traps but those are vile and it takes a long time to kill them terrified (I don't want the voles costing us thousands but I won't torture something with a slow death). We got the mouse traps that slam which mostly worked and instantly however never leave them on your oven top. It doesn't get super hot but hot enough to screw up the plastic. I thought the trap still worked but the vole it got it half got and the poor thing was walking around in circles all dotty for who knows how long until so put it out of its misery. Our weasel friend was an answer to my prayers because she's natural, and unlike a cat since she's super tiny she can get to them where they live. She leaves my babies alone (rabbits, dogs, pet rats, and pet snake and no I don't breed my rats as snake food my ball python eats prekilled mice). My rabbits inside are in pairs she leaves them alone she can't get in my rat cage or the snake cage and my dogs are massive so she avoids them. In fact when they start sniffing her out and bugging her she calls for help lol. She does her squeak noise she's realized I come to her rescue and shoe them off.
She's not a pet she's completely wild. She doesn't kill more than she needs. Skunks will and they will behead the animals and eat the guts. Well some, some prefer the eggs.. Our skunk (not friend) decapitated our quail and got stuck in their pen not sure how to get out.
Weasels are amazing I am glad that she seems to see me as an ally and leaves my pets alone. She can have all the voles she wants as long as she stays off my pets. There were so many and I was going to get more of those horrible trap. This feels way better. Im sure she finds them much easier than rabbits over ten times her size lol. She doesn't over kill. Since no sign of voles I've given her liver and dog food meat etc. I don't mind if she stays or moves on when the weather gets better but she's been no harm to us. Even when we had chickens she didn't touch them.
That is truly an epic story! I appreciate the effort it took to type this, and I enjoyed it, as well.
@@DarkSygil666 It was an enjoyable experience. They are really amazing creatures. Very intelligent.
Their so cute but violent! Soooo cheeky😝
I didn't know woodpeckers could grow that large. It's hard to imagine that it would have enough power to lift the weasel off the ground!
If the weasel weighs heavier than woodpecker then I'm calling bullshit on this video
Weasel riding on a bird
Escaping to freedom
the shot of the woodpecker carrying the weasel was on other channels but the caption was about how animals help each other and the truth is that the weasel was only trying to eat him photos could be deceptive sometimes
I just saw a animal show that said if weasels weighed 60 lbs there would be no animals left on the planet. Lucky they only weigh 6 oz.
Could be just friends lol
Supernatural got me here !!!
