creatures it is said that cats hate water well this cat proves us wrong by making the list of bad ass land animals that eat ocean creatures this leopard is so curious and so focused on capturing its prey it almost forgets where it is he sinks his teeth into the fish's flesh and quickly pulls it from the water when living in areas with little to no resources it is integral that these animals make the most of an opportunity to get some nutritious food that is the quest of the leopards living in the sun big deserts of northern botswana 60 kilos of mussel and agility the locals talk about the dried up land which flowed for centuries before virtually disappearing almost overnight in 1951 this land was rich with life flowing with water and food today the area which lies in the southwest corner of the chobe national park is pretty much just hardened ground in 2010 the area was subject to a flash flood the flood pushed water into the old dried-up riverbed and several leopards were seen

grizzly bear catching salmon unlike humans these creatures don't have the ability or the resources to travel to the river sit quietly with a fishing rod and wait patiently for a bite the north american grizzly bear depends on local waters for survival as they hold hundreds of millions of fresh tasty salmon these salmons swim from the pacific ocean making their way into the mountain streams where they were born they swim thousands of miles upstream where they were once spawned there they spawn their own and then they die at the exact time of the year bears are more present around rivers they spend time swiping biting and clawing onto these fish eating as much as they can before they hibernate for winter the salmon are simple to catch they swim in large groups moving against the current which slows them down the salmon also jump up waterfalls becoming an even greater target for the waiting bear researchers compare a salmon jumping up a waterfall to a human trying to jump over a house obviously these fish run low on energy and this makes it easy for the bear to get close enough for an easy snack number 13. polar bear with seal kill polar bears live in and around the ocean so it's not much of a surprise that they dine on seafood on a regular occasion and some of that seafood isn't small either we're not talking your garden variety fish these bears have been known to snack on the odd seal or two ringed seals are the most common and widespread seal species found within the arctic area they are the smallest of all the arctic seals weighing between 40 and 70 kilograms and they make a great meal for the much larger polar bear because of their size even a small polar bear can prey on these seals they are easily caught as they struggle to move through the icy water that they inhabit whether underwater or above on land these seals are threatened by more than just the polar bear the ringed seal cannot maintain their breath under the cold water for long periods of time it must come up for air and this makes them even more vulnerable to attack the polar bear may also attack larger seals depending on the age and strength of the bear they may target the much larger bearded seal the bearded seal is a much better source of energy for a polar bear due to its fan-rich energy and the fact it takes so long to consume although polar bears do not seem to fight over food extended meal times can attract more than one polar bear to the potential meal number 12 eagle takes down super venomous snake unlike a lot of other predatory animals eagles have the benefit of being able to spot possible food sources from the sky when they have located their next target they can dive down towards them catching their prey by surprise the sea eagle is a common bird of prey especially those coming from the genus haliatus this family includes the well-known bald eagle the sea eagle isn't fussy when it comes to dinner time and will take on a variety of large sea [Music] fish they live along rivers lakes tidewaters and even ocean areas throughout the world except for throughout south america these areas are known to offer them plentiful food sources they can reach lengths of up to a meter long with a wingspan of nearly twice that this big bird also has an exceptionally large and high arched beak and bare lower legs making it incredibly fast and hard an opportunistic feeder the sea eagle has even been found killing and feasting on poisonous sea snakes these birds focus on fish and prey that live close to the water surface but they can also dive into the water catching ocean creatures by surprise before removing them from the water completely number 11 wolf eating salmon after chasing i feel for the salmon it seems to be the prey of quite a few vicious animals as well as the bear salmon is occasionally on the wolf's menu too they catch the salmon in their mouth using their sharp large canine teeth to sink into the flesh of their wriggling victim [Music] a photo has appeared online of a wolf with a salmon in its mouth the photo taken at fish creek near hyder in southeastern alaska during the salmon spotting season shows the wolf with a gigantic chum salmon in its mouth fish creek is a part of tongass national forest which is a coastal temperate rainforest the salmon run through the creek from late july through to mid-september the wolf which has obviously been for a quick dip in the water to catch its lunch has managed to catch one of the larger fish in the area there's no doubt the catch wouldn't have been a simple one but he is well rewarded for his patience visits from wolves grizzly bears and black bears are common in this area with all looking for something tasty to eat most of these predators sneak in under the cover of darkness to try and catch one of the salmon occasionally particularly eager animals can be seen at the creek during the day but who could blame them salmon's pretty tasty number 10 dogs take to fishing like ducks to water dogs love going for a swim wherever and whenever they can and in this case you can see how much they enjoy taking a dip these bad ass dogs have gone searching for an ocean animal feast in this clip two pit bulls are filmed running through a river they're searching through the water looking for anything that moves or just a stick to retrieve seemingly fascinated by the fish and large salmon as they move through the water they decide to play a game of one-sided tag they are seen dragging a large salmon each onto the shoreline the fish are really huge one per dog with the video showing the trouble the dogs went to to bring them to shore a friend of the owner was there to film the dogs hunting the fish by the river when the dogs had the fish ashore he threw them back into the water so that they could die natural deaths can you imagine the disappointment of these two dogs they had only just dragged them ashore when their owner snatched them back and threw them away what a way to crush a poor pooch's dreams of a tasty dinner the owner wasn't happy with the dog's find as he believed it wasn't healthy for the dogs to disrupt the fish's natural habitat what a guy number nine cats catching fish cats love fish and therefore it's not a big surprise that they've been seen trying to catch fish out of the water fishing cats are attracted to all types of water and live in amongst the wetlands commonly occupying marshes swamps and mangroves she's built to dive she catches the fish unaware and surfaces these cats have been seen eating snakes rodents young deer wild pigs ducks farmers chickens dogs goats and calves hunting in amongst tropical dry forests and even in the indian himalayas in dense vegetation in near rivers and streams these cats have no natural predators opportunistic eaters they will eat anything that they can sink their claws into these cats are fast with sharp claws and teeth and will hunt throughout any habitat to find a meal wading through water using their paws to scoop up fish and diving head first into deeper areas these cats can catch crabs crayfish frogs and of course fish they're simply masterful to watch and will use every method in their arsenal when it comes to catching their dinner a dinner that is very well earned no doubt number eight jaguar takes down massive cayman intense underwater battle we've already seen some fish hunting cats but this next badass land animal that eats ocean creatures is truly unique this big cat can take down a massive caiman which is an alligator and crocodilian belonging to the subfamily kmnna and is commonly compared to its alligator lineage the jaguar has enough brawn and moxie to take on a full-grown crocodilian now that's impressive this predator uses its sharp teeth to pierce the skin of crocodile-like creatures and is now considered the most common croc killer a recently released clip from the national geographic documentary series hostile planet showcases the jaguars caiman ending prowess hunger outweighs his concern time to strike is now it shows the jaguar lurking above a stretch of murky water it appears to be looking for its prey and with the right angle and bite it pierces the beast's skull leaving it immobile the jaguar doesn't even look concerned about the mission and can be seen patiently tracing through caiman infested waters quickly closing in on its target once the unsuspecting caiman is found the jaguar lunges into the water disappearing under the surface and then reappearing with a huge caiman held in its jaws it is certainly a big payday for the hungry jaguar he'll probably be able to feed his family for quite some time with this catch number 7 kingfisher death from above the kingfisher is a small to medium-sized bird easily recognized by its bright colored feathers they are distributed in the tropical regions of africa asia and oceania flying high in the sky keeps this smaller bird safe from land and ocean predators but it also gives them a great vantage point when looking for something to snack on from the sky it swoops down splashing into the water within seconds it comes out and into the air again with a silverfish locked in its b this small bird moves effortlessly through the air and water looking for any opportunity to strike until the 1950s little was known about this bird it looks like a hummingbird now we know that they are an endangered species and are commonly compared to that of the tui more pork and native pigeon these birds inhabit the regions around the southern ocean they're considered extremely shy so they hide away from other animals the kingfisher is very fast and is able to swoop in and swoop back out again without mucking around because they aren't a social character this behavior suits them perfectly and they're less likely to bump into anyone else or have to fight over their cat number six hyena fishing hyenas are notoriously vicious predators and will eat just about anything this clip shows a lone hyena paying a visit to a watering hole at chewed up etosha after circle around in the middle for a while with just its head sticking out the hyena appeared to be cooling off a quick flash of a fish beneath him and he realized he wasn't alone the hyena dived under the water head first and began hunting for his lunch it was a hunt that didn't take long with his legs and tail in the air he made his way towards the bottom of the water coming up shortly after with a fish wriggling in his mouth it was a crazy sight watching the hyena fishing was astonishing to the photographer shooting the whole ordeal and afterwards he said that the hyena appeared to move with speed and purpose these animals have a superb sense of smell [Applause] the hyena would have used this sense to locate the fish within the dirty water when the hyena made it back to land it was quickly accompanied by other scroungers in the area a black-backed jackal was first to the scene to investigate the piece of meat however the hyena had no intention of sharing eating his catch in its entirety good on him number five gray heron and cormorant fish hunting another bird the blue heron is a skilled fisher but unlike other birds it doesn't use energy diving from the sky it does still take its prey by surprise however its method of catching fish is much simpler than most it stands motionless in shallow water waiting patiently for a fish to come by then as quick as a flash the bird uses its long neck to reach down and pluck the fish from the water moving around carefully the heron doesn't startle the fish swimming beneath the bird uses this strategy to sneak up on frogs as well a small bird the blue heron is common throughout central new york and is much smaller than other birds that inhabit the area growing between a foot and a foot and a half a study has shown that the heron is a very clever bird using items found throughout waterways is a type of lure to attract a more suitable meal the study was conducted by professor lovell of the university of louisville in 1958 near lake eola florida he threw a piece of bread at a heron standing in the water the heron took the piece of bread then placed it at its foot as it began floating away the bird retrieved it and placed it at its feet yet again ultimately using the piece of bread as a lure to entice a frog or fish to get close enough to snatch it once this happens the blue heron pounces and it's dinner time number four orangutans use simple tools to catch fish orangutans are commonly found in trees right they can also swim actually they can swim pretty well as efficiently as they can move through trees research of three indonesian islands showed that these orange long limbed apes actually catch and eat fish it's not all bananas and leaves the orangutans living in borneos scavenge the shoreline looking for washed up fish or those close enough to catch [Applause] they walk along the water's edge mindful of predators looking to scoop up catfish catching a catfish makes for a fresh meal for these large animals anthropologist anne russon of york university in toronto reported that on april 14th she saw several animals on their own to jab at catfish with sticks so that the panicked prey would flop out of ponds and into the red apes wading hands it's incredible to think that these animals can adapt and create their own tools to make fishing and catching food easier and more efficient number three fox dives head first into snow the red fox is the largest of the true foxes and one of the most widely distributed species of fox in the world weighing between 2.2 and 14 kilograms growing between 35 and 50 centimeters in height and able to run at speeds of up to 50 kilometers an hour these foxes have the ability to catch almost anything the red fox lives between two and five years in the wild and eats a variety of things including leopards raccoons hamsters squirrels gopher gerbils murids rodents chickens rabbits and possums this fox has even been known to be such a badass that it eats ocean creatures it dives deep into the snow-covered stream in north america to capture the fish swimming underneath the fox uses its senses to capture whatever lays beneath the surface of the water it then uses its claws and sharp teeth to gain a firm grip of its catch before devouring it number two traditional otter fishing in bangladesh we all know that these cute little mammals love eating fish and they even live in and around water which makes their love of fish easily fulfilled the otter swims alongside fishing boats waiting for a quick and easy lunch to be thrown overboard in this clip two otters were found squeaking beside a fishing boat in a river in southern bangladesh the fishermen on board lowered their nets into the river they were searching for a full catch in the middle of the world's largest mangrove forest the sundarbans unfortunately for the fishermen what happened next would ruin any opportunity to catch any fish the otters one by one dove deep under the water chasing a school of fish towards the banks of the river understanding what the otters were trying to achieve the fishermen moved to the shore as the otters chased the fish to shore the fishermen stood in the water ready to catch the fish in their nets the connection between these animals and the fishermen as the fishermen coming back to this spot regularly to catch fish what a great relationship i hope the little otters are well rewarded for all their hard work number one fish catching mink the american mink is a semi-aquatic species of mustalin native to north america like a stoat weasel or ferret a video has surfaced showing that minks can be trained to do specific tasks including catching fish and bringing them back to shore for their trainer josh carter is known as the mink man he has a fascination with minx and has actually trained them to obey his commands or it might be just embarrassingly easy we'll just have to see what happens ready to go mamba huh mamba his mink dives into the water chases and catches fish and then brings them back to him it certainly appears more effective than using a fishing rod the mink is able to use its great sense of smell sight and hearing to search through the water for a fish just like a dog fetching a ball the mink itself has a 100 success rate meaning neither it nor its trainer will ever go hungry what a handy companion to have big or small short or tall animals across the globe have their own unique ways of sourcing their food some are scavengers and will eat other animals catches others are opportunists catching their prey simply by chance but there are a number of animals out there that are brave standing tall in the face of adversity and catching food whatever the cost also check out our other cool stuff showing up on screen right now see you next time
