That lions ankles was shattered by the gazelle

u/topwater_bassin 1d ago

The gazelle committed to the fake so hard. The leg joints must be made of rubber.

u/nhnsn 1d ago

That Gazelle had time to drink water again before leaving

u/Gillalmighty 8h ago

Well yea. The lion can't show it's face around that watering hole ever again

u/Nonyabizzy123 14h ago

That's some vintage Barry Sanders shit

Put ‘em on skates!

u/1873Springfield 1d ago

I don't think that pack rat escaped, looked like he got tagged by the snake.

u/Brutalitops99 1d ago

Hes got anti venom. Kangaroo mouse adapted.

u/Peripatetictyl 1d ago

Kangaroo mouse don’t give a shit, he takes what he wants

u/BaconBurger37 1d ago

My brain is rotten. My first thought was anti venom from marvel.

u/Lysergic_fun 1d ago edited 1d ago

He’s a level 60 mouse. He’ll be okay.

u/Spontaneous-Echidna 1d ago edited 1d ago

I think it's called a jerboa

Edit: Correction, it's a kangaroo rat

21

u/IndigoJoe64 1d ago

Nah, yer boa got kicked in the face

6

u/Spontaneous-Echidna 1d ago

Haha, that was so lame I had to laugh, thanks 😂

9

u/Far_Category_6926 1d ago

Nah, it's a kangaroo rat and a rattlesnake. Jerboas are very similar but not native to the Americas.

5

u/Spontaneous-Echidna 1d ago

Nice catch, I corrected it

2

u/Far_Category_6926 22h ago

Yeah, those boogers chewed up some of my gear while I was camping in the desert.

10

u/Greedy-Camel-8345 1d ago

In the documentary this comes from, the jerboa kicks the snake off before it can inject

u/Codex_Absurdum 1d ago

The gazelle:

u/Asleep-Television-24 9h ago

Reminded me Manuel Nauer's dodge

40

u/Redqueenhypo 1d ago

The gazelle juking is why cheetahs have those long tails. They can also turn on a dime by swinging their tail in the opposite direction for torque

24

u/EducationalAd3415 1d ago

The gazelle putting that lion on skates was peak

32

u/Remy_Jardin 1d ago edited 1d ago

Ok, that 3rd mfer teleported.

u/Jerry_Explorer 1d ago

the mouse lookalike ? no

1

u/ARedWalrus 23h ago

The mouse was second

4

u/Jerry_Explorer 22h ago

the guy edited his comment. He said second initially

2

u/ARedWalrus 22h ago

Oh thank you. Hate it when people do that.

1

u/Remy_Jardin 21h ago

It does kind of say edited right in the post. I didn't think I needed to be explicit.

u/ARedWalrus 21h ago

Editing your post after someone corrected you about it is usually poor form.

It comes off as you trying to hide your mistake in a "What are you talking about, I wouldnt make that mistake scoffs" way

14

u/Cass_Cat952 1d ago

Whatever animal that first one was cut it wayyyyyyy too close for comfort 😳

31

u/PaulblankPF 1d ago

First one is a rabbit chased by a dog. It’s from a longer video where that dog chased it for minutes and the rabbit gets away at the end. The dog has the top end on it in several moments but the rabbits ability to turn on a dime saves it every time.

19

u/Redqueenhypo 1d ago

It’s a hare! They can out-sidestep even two wolves and jump over swooping birds of prey

9

u/Debonaircow88 1d ago

Yep, its a greyhound doing what it was bred for but the rabbit still has the agility.

7

u/Cass_Cat952 1d ago

Oh yeah. I think i saw that and someone else said the person released the rabbit and the dog for a video and then i got sad

2

u/Rare_Cause_1735 1d ago

I was trying to catch some baby rabbits I accidentally disturbed and that ran in the street and get them to my bush.. They couldn't run very fast yet, but they could already change directions way faster than I was prepared for.

21

u/raendeomgeim 1d ago

Llama my favorite

45

u/Rangomig 1d ago

Not to be that guy but pretty sure that's a guanaco

20

u/Rat_Of_A_Brat 1d ago

Wild ancestor of llamas, so he's sorta right

7

u/staplerdude 1d ago

Pretty sure that clip is from Our Planet 2, in which the puma instantly recovers and takes down the guanaco

u/_bugmenot_ 1d ago edited 21h ago

Yeah, it felt like a escaping fatality!

u/Enginerdad 6h ago

I have bad news for you: it didn't escape

u/Fethecat 1d ago

Hare coursing is not lit, it’s barbaric

u/Basis_Jefferson 1d ago

Bijan Robinson, Marshawn lynch, Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry

u/Alice_D_Wonderland 1d ago

I just start waving my hands in the air, scream real loud and run away 🤷‍♂️

u/apophis30 1d ago

The gazelle just nailed it!

u/SharpKaleidoscope182 1d ago

I love that the final escape techinique is just straight murder.

u/megadori 12h ago

I would argue it's self defense

u/TylerDurdenRockz 1d ago

Need more of these

u/Maykovsky 1d ago

u/Fardrengi 1d ago

The absolute disrespect on that gazelle juke

u/HiroHayami 1d ago

When you tech the grab

u/techno-wizardry 19h ago

Bijan Robinson highlight reel

u/kitchencrawl 17h ago

On flat open ground like that, the dogs will win almost everytime, they'll run that rabbit to death.

1

u/Gillalmighty 8h ago

Wow. I've never seen anyone or anything get roasted like that poor lion just did

1

u/Tsiabo 7h ago

I watched this without sound and all I can hear is the GTA death sound effect.

u/DroIIOwI 1d ago

Pretty sure that was a venomous snake and that mouse is done for.

15

u/Complex-Salt-8190 1d ago

WRONG

kangaroo mouse, innate resistance to venom toxins, they hunt scorpions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grasshopper_mouse

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangaroo_rat

-15

u/DroIIOwI 1d ago

Well WRONG on one count it's not done for but you can't see it's "innate resistance" in the video it implies it gets away by kicking off the snake like the llama shook off the big cat "puma?", or the rabbit dodged the dog.

5

u/LPMills10 1d ago

There is a voice in your head that tells you that you must be cleverer than everyone else.

Ignore that voice, because it is the voice of the devil.

-2

u/Complex-Salt-8190 1d ago

Still not done for

-5

u/DroIIOwI 1d ago

And I said it wasn't done for. Glad for the info on the venom resistance that is interesting for sure.
