The ermine (Mustela erminea) is hunting a rabbit. Interestingly, this small predator completely ignores other rabbits once it has tired out its prey. 🦨🐇

This widespread species is found across the Northern Hemisphere: in Arctic, sub-Arctic, and temperate zones of Eurasia and North America. In Europe, it can be spotted from Scandinavia to the Pyrenees and Alps, excluding Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Crimea. 🌍❄️

An adult ermine weighs around 260 grams, while a full-grown rabbit is 1-2 kilograms. Despite this significant size difference, rabbits are a primary food source for these carnivorous mammals. Ermines also feed on insects, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. 🐝🐟🐍🐸🦞

Enjoy the fascinating hunt! 🎥✨
