In northern Quebec, a Marten chases a rabbit and catches it. This a bet on a chase that I would have lost! More here. Though this is repeatedly identified as a Marten, based on size and lack of white throat patch, I believe it may be a Fisher.

ReplyDeleteRemarkable, thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteA recent paper describes a Bat eared fox, which lives almost entirely on insects, catching a hare http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aje.12259/abstract?campaign=woletoc.
I suspect that these are instances of predators recognising when a potential target is sick or injured.
