Woodpecker escapes weasel attack by flying

[Greg Bernhardt]

This is really amazing. Apparently a weasel attacked a woodpecker that took off flying and the weasel went for a ride! Who do you think wins in the end?

Woodpecker --- the weasel's in a lose-lose situation.

Weasel wins in the air and he's got to make it to the ground without breaking his neck.

True, looking at the tree in the background, he might be fairly high up

They're tough, resilient little critters --- and there are stories of small mammals falling incredible heights, and reaching a terminal velocity that's low enough they only break ribs, but it'd be a tough way to make a living.

He is missing...

The weasel would also die if he bit the bird's neck. I think the bird is only giving him a ride, which is a nice and hard-to-find scene. Different animals can be together but are never the same...

Hey, this tag feature of our new site works pretty good.
