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?

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

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...OmCheeto said:Argh! Where's @Redbelly98 when you need him...
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...
