If that bobcat had wanted to kill and eat that groundhog, it would have done so. Young animal, wanted to play. Hungry animal, the first and last the woodchuck woulda known about it would be the teeth in the back of its neck. Learn something about animals before you blow your wad about them.

@@thehellyousay Maybe the bobcat wasn't 100% sure it would win. If it never fought a groundhog before then it might not know how strong or weak that animal is. Animals have been tricked before into retreating from weaker prey. For example, if a cougar is about to attack you, its recommended that you try to make yourself look as big as possible to scare it off. Of course that's just bs and making yourself look bigger doesn't actually make you any stronger but the cougar doesn't know that. Not all animals want to risk their health if they feel like their opponent could put a good fight.

Somewhere in these comments, someone incorrectly identifies groundhogs as mustelids. They are not mustelids. Groundhogs are rodents and very closely related to squirrels. They are also known as woodchucks. Woodchucks are very strong for their size. They dig very deep and lengthy underground tunnels and to do so routinely move rocks that weigh more than them. Like all rodents their incisors (front teeth) continously grow and they must chew on things in order to wear the front teeth down. Sometimes they have to use these teeth in defense and can inflict a lot of damage with them. Woodchucks are not carnivores. They usually retreat into their burrow (which almost always has many entrances) when threatened. In this video maybe the bobcat was between the woodchuck and its burrow. Maybe the woodchuck had babies in its burrow and was defending them. Most animals will fight fiercely in order to defend their young. In any case, this was a young inexperienced bobcat who did not know how to handle the large rodent.

@steelcom5976

You are correct. They are not mustelids. That's ridiculous. They belong to the Family called Chiroptera, but oddly, they are flightless. It is believed that they have an alternative breathing apparatus that is technically called a spiracle. Too bad people don't bother to educate themselves.

Groundhogs will fight back with all that they can. I've seen it on two occasions. They have a wicked set of chompers, and woe be unto any animal incautious enough to let the g-hog get them into him. Of course, the two occasions when I've seen g-hogs, they lost the fight anyway because they were against overwhelming force, the first time our English Setter and the second time our large black Labrador. The dogs were methodical, first worrying the groundhog with quick lunges in and out to tire him, then once the g-hog was slowed down a bit from exhaustion, the dogs made a final lightning-fast lunge to grab the g-hog by the neck, then rapidly shaking their heads until they broke the g-hog's neck. That final lunge and shake happens so fast that it's literally a blur!

Absolutely amazing footage. What a standoff. That ground hog was not having it at all. Made that cat go through so many emotions and then quit.

There are no doctors in the wild they have to heal naturally and any injury could mean fatal to them. Making it harder to hunt, run from a predator etc. ...

Wow great behaviour capture (even in low quality). Looks like an inexperienced or desperate bobcat that chose to attack without the element of surprise. Any bobcat could overpower the toughest woodchuck... but without catching the chuck unaware and getting a death hold, the cat would get hurt. And a wildcat can't afford to get hurt.

That is simply amazing. I have never seen such a bold dominant ground hog. If he would have turned his back and made a run for his hole he would have been done for.
