Not only did he fake his own death to make the Mink let his guard down, he also intentionally dove under water to try to suffocate the Mink. Because he knows he's can hold his breath longer. Impressive Mally.
@mikeef7473 жыл бұрын
While a good hypothesis on your part by what you saw in the video, the opposite is actually true. Minks can hold their breath twice as long as an average ducks and are excellent swimmers as fish and crayfish makeup a large part of their diet, along with other aquatic animals like muskrats, so they spend much more time underwater than ducks.There is however a breed of ducks called Diving Ducks that can hold their breath as long or longer.

For whatever reasons, the mink released its jaws from the duck, perhaps to shake the water out of its eyes and mouth, and that split second was all the duck needed to take off faster than the mink could keep up. Truly amazing that the mink didn't rip off the duck's head as soon at it got it partially out of the water. Between putting up with ferocious land and water animals, other birds, and hunters, ducks are REALLY up against it!😟🥺😫

@@sheepsfoot2 I saw all that occurred, and that duck was not lodged. When an object is lodged it cannot escape swiftly as the duck did. It has to be forcibly DISLODGED by tools to extract it. To be lodged is to be surrounded by walls, as it were, and the object has to be pulled out. When an object gets lodged in someone's throat, or an animal's it is life-threatening and tedious to remove. We call a properly built home a "lodging" because it has strong protective walls topped by a roof. You get the idea. Respectfully
