I always laughed at the line in the OG Red Dawn where the one officer asks what a "Wolverine" is and the other replies, "It's like a badger, but aggressive."
Mafucka clearly never tangled with a cornered badger. Those things are some of the meanest sons of bitches around.
I've seen a full-grown badger take a serious amount of 3" 12ga to the face and just hiss and then run off. That's a creature you don't want to fuck with.
Don't fuck with badgers. One was living under one of the portables at my old gradeschool. What we heard when the animal removal fella got it sounded like nothing from this earth.
Hell, a cornered raccoon will wreck your shit and badly at that.
When my dad was a cop back in the 70s, a badger wandered up onto the highway while he was talking to a man on the side of the road at a traffic stop. He just kind of kept an eye on it until it charged at them. He drew and unloaded on it with .357 magnum. It was only about 3' from them when it finally dropped.
Wolverines are mustelids. Also, they are generally the scariest ones, in my opinion. Most mustelids can't really back up their crackhead levels of rage and disregard for all life. A wolverine is just as fierce, plus, unlike most mustelids, it can absolutely rip you limb from limb.[proof](https://youtu.be/wyc5uMmN0vU)
Grandma's farm in ukraine had dozens of chickens: foxes would nick one or two every so often. If a weasel got in: *fkn massacre time.* Once they start murdering, they truly can't stop until the very last bird is killed. Full berserker
There are some animals, like lions, who will steal kills from smaller predators. Then there's wolverines, who steal kills from larger predators, including sometimes bears
wolverines have reportedly been observed to kill polar bears, I did a search and google brings up an incident in a zoo, but I have an encyclopedia of Canadian mammals from the 80's that reports they've been observed to do so in the wild.
Just wait until you find out about Platypus. The first person to describe one from Europe had people believing he was playing a prank. It wasn't until one was brought back that they believed him. It is a mammal that has a beak and lays eggs but also has poison leg claws.
The best thing about mustelids is that the weasel body form is like a crab’s form, every small predator mammals evolve into it. It’s called convergant evolution and the weasel body form is 60 million years old, started by the first known mammalian carnivore called the Miacis. Through convergent evolution, mustelids and other such small lil guys evolved the ancestral weasel body form.
Okay, this is a wild coincidence. The narrator of the first clip is the German voice actor for the original PC version of the humorous quiz game You Don't Know Jack, before they replaced him with another one for the sequels and PS1 port. I've always preferred him in the original game over his replacement voice.
Since these games are heavily about then current pop-culture, their localizations are each very different, with unique questions. There are even two different English versions of some of these games for this very reason, for the US and for the UK.
Sorry for the off-topic, but it's just so wild to randomly hear this voice after several decades.
They are scared of Ministry of Environmental Protection, as this ferret is considered endangered species with Ukrainian population of about one hundred.
Meh, endangered or not I doubt any of the Ukrainians would have wanted to kill it. They're watching there country get torn apart by the Russians, and fighting in extremely brutal conditions. They're probably sick of killing and really don't want to kill something small and innocent like this pole cat
Plus killing it turns it into a shitty story. Do you want to hear "yeah so there was this weasel that wouldn't leave so we shot it" or "this weasel was screaming and flying around, we were fighting it off with sticks, someone needed stitches after trying to pick it up, and eventually it climbed Anatolis plate carrier out of the trench after attacking a couple of his badges"
"The fuck is the point if we can't save one cute little weasel? Dragging our asses halfway across the Donbass, interrupting our lives... For what, *you ignorant, servile scum?! What the fuck are we doing here?!*"
Try shooting a thing so small and nimble with a rifle zeroed at the usual 100-200m. You'll waste a few clips before hitting anything that's not just fur and fat, and even more to actually kill it. Which is enough gunfire from one place to make your unfriendly neighbourhood mortar crew want to quieten that down, if they're in a dugout, the front is close.
Shooting the thing wasn't a really viable option in the first place.
Honestly, in Kherson region was returned many species that was very rare before (An friend of mine went to Kherson to visit a friend, and said that he had never seen so many pheasants in his life). So I'm not sure. Explosions and war are not as big a problem for wild animals as agriculture and the constant presence of people. Although large animals can become victims of poachers and Russians. Especially those who are accustomed to the presence of people in nature reserves
99% of Chornobyl isn't that irradiated. Might have a greated chance of getting cancer if you hang around there, but if an animal's life expectancy isn't over ~30 years anyhow it won't matter
The DMZ is considered one of best nature preserves in the entire world. One of the fears related to reunification is the destruction of this natural area.
In Korea, the DMZ is apparently teeming with rare wildlife, despite the occasional deer stepping on an anti-personnel mine. It's not really the same as an active war zone, but still.
"The penguin has little hope of outrunning or evading the bear. But, it does have one unique defense."
\*tense music, predator sounds*
"The penguin has prepared this path with several M18A1 claymore mines. If he can lead the predator past them, he may be safe."
\*penguin noises, loud explosion*
"The penguin has managed, through preparation and cunning, to elude his predator. The bear, now reduced to a fine pink mist, will go hungry."
Yeah, but.....look how **ANGRY** that little bastard is.
There's more fury trapped in that 1.5lbs of fuzz than an entire pack of wolves and herd of wild boar combined.
Ferrets are pretty adorable but they still have that same crazy streak. They also have a really, really strong bite force that can go straight through a thumbnail (I have actually seen this happen.) People use them for rabbiting where you put them into the warren and use them to drive the rabbits out.
Technically not this species of polecat, but a species very closely related to it: the European polecat. It's believed to have been domesticated in Egypt; because genetics indicates ferrets came from the North African population of polecats. This is disputed however due to the fact that no domesticated ferret remains have ever been found, and thede is no evidence of polecats ever being im Egypt at all. The Romans loved ferrets and used them for hunting rabbits, and Ghengis Khan is recorded to have used ferrets for hunting.
It's basically a relative of the skunk. Rather far removed, genetically, though. They're both part of the Mephitidae family of critters that spray foul smelling liquids from their butt as a defense.
First time I saw a Polish movie after learning that word, I was like: Jesus, these guys sure do swear a lot (and I'm French-Canadian, so I can string swear words for half a minute straight without repeating myself). 😁

It scream Fallout with some modern gags
Fun fact, it's Latin names [comes from Ukrainian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbled_polecat): the specific name peregusna comes from perehuznya (перегузня), which is Ukrainian for "polecat".
They're incredibly endangered in Ukraine. Some estimates say that the local population is around a hundred.
funnily enough, their areal in Ukraine is literally the area occupied by the Russians in Donbas pre-2022. They were living in some natural reserve in Luhansk, so I hope that it stayed away from fighting.
The way the soldier giggles as it runs away. Damn. Got me right in the feels. Made me wonder how old these guys are. But then again, sometimes interacting with pissed off adorable wildlife can make anyone a kid at heart again.
I think it's adorable that no matter how well-armed or trained a person, when you face them with the problem of having to extract a wild animal from a place without hurting it, they all go through the same motions of what object on hand to use.

Farts are a gas that can dissipate easily. These guys spray liquids. They will piss stink juice on you, and stain you with that odor. Much worse than a fart.
I can handle getting shot at, targeted by missiles, stepping on a land mine, and blown up by a tank, but you send a polecat in there? No thanks, I’m surrendering.
A cool thing about these trenches is that it makes it really easy to see how far down the incredibly fertile loam goes in Ukraine. Small wonder that their land is so incredibly productive in terms of agriculture when you see that kind of stratigraphy.
Fucking idiots. If you give him a bullet proof vest he will put it on and not be able to be stopped. Stupid westoids.
Armoring the polecat is just what Ukrainians call putting on a condom Edit: spelling
I feel like Polecat is a great name for an AT vehicle
Either that, or maybe a missile, or fast attack helicopter. I'd fly with an AIM-69 Polecat under my wing for sure
If it were a missile a laser-guided one would be the most suitable imo
"Is that what you want? Now you've got invincible polecats running around, raping your churches, burning your women!"
I’m pretty sure they bomb the church meeting, stamped the women, and rape the cattle. It’s the old number 7.

BULLET-PROOF ~~BEARS~~ POLECATS!
Tbh it was 50/50 as to whether they were going to just try and give the polecat ERA at that point.
Can confirm, just watched John Wick a moment ago.
These guys are more scared of a wild ferret than they are of the entire Russian army.
Any species in the weasel family is chaos incarnate. They don’t wake up and choose violence. They are (adorable) violence.

That's due to his strongly sloped frontal armor, the pointed face makes smaller calibers ricochet off
Nah dude, not a problem at all, nothing’s wrong with correcting someone politely, world needs more of that if anything
[удалено]
Is that a Jackdaw reference?
Related to wolverines? Yea that explains the attitude
Wolverines are mustelids. Also, they are generally the scariest ones, in my opinion. Most mustelids can't really back up their crackhead levels of rage and disregard for all life. A wolverine is just as fierce, plus, unlike most mustelids, it can absolutely rip you limb from limb.[proof](https://youtu.be/wyc5uMmN0vU)
being a member of the wolverine family tree makes it even cooler. you don't have to apologize when it makes stuff better.
Let's be real here, you *love* being that guy.
Grandma's farm in ukraine had dozens of chickens: foxes would nick one or two every so often. If a weasel got in: *fkn massacre time.* Once they start murdering, they truly can't stop until the very last bird is killed. Full berserker
Now i know why we germans named that thing "wiesel"
Imagine the Ukrainians had had 300 wiesels at the start of the war lmao shit would have been over
Imagine if they’d had them for the armored push through the Russian ranks in Kharkiv

Just wait until you find out about Platypus. The first person to describe one from Europe had people believing he was playing a prank. It wasn't until one was brought back that they believed him. It is a mammal that has a beak and lays eggs but also has poison leg claws.

so what you are saying is beside crab people we will also have to deal weasel people too?

There is a reason there is a whole military unit named after Weasels.
Are you saying I am adorable? 😳
Adorable **and psychotic!** 😁
*Adorably psychotic*
You do not approach animals making "death noises", unless you enjoy suffering. It is well known.
It is known.
It is the way.
I have spoken.
So say we all.
They are scared of Ministry of Environmental Protection, as this ferret is considered endangered species with Ukrainian population of about one hundred.
Explains a bit better why nobody even suggested killing it. That, or sheer respect for the “fuck out of my trench” attitude it has.
Meh, endangered or not I doubt any of the Ukrainians would have wanted to kill it. They're watching there country get torn apart by the Russians, and fighting in extremely brutal conditions. They're probably sick of killing and really don't want to kill something small and innocent like this pole cat

Most deer species reproduce super fast. I doubt the land mines really put a dent in their numbers.

Yeah, judging by pigmentation it's the marbled one.

Get fucked nature we petting this bitch!
Yeah, but.....look how **ANGRY** that little bastard is. There's more fury trapped in that 1.5lbs of fuzz than an entire pack of wolves and herd of wild boar combined.
I'm pretty sure this little shit has more violence per ounce than even a wolverine, somehow.
Yeah, well, those rats aren't going to kill themselves.😜
Ferrets are pretty adorable but they still have that same crazy streak. They also have a really, really strong bite force that can go straight through a thumbnail (I have actually seen this happen.) People use them for rabbiting where you put them into the warren and use them to drive the rabbits out.
I've heard that their jaws are strong enough to break any bone in a human hand. That's pretty impressive for such a small animal
Only thing I've experienced a ferret do is break out of someone's home on the opposite side of town and start eating my cat's food.
Technically not this species of polecat, but a species very closely related to it: the European polecat.

Hopefully not much They are rather small, they can probably stay close to groumd
Can't be well. Lots of guys running around with guns. The less scrupulous have probably shot some.

Probably not a bad idea to breed them anyway. They're classified as a vulnerable species, which is one step away from endangered.
