14. The Long-Tailed Weasel
Look at this furry little guy tearing into the carcass of a much larger animal. Weasels may be small, but they’ve been known to kill prey up to 10 times their size.
Unlike many other animals, who can eat a large amount and then not hunt for a bit, weasels have to consume half of their body weight every day because of their extraordinarily high metabolisms. Because of this, weasels have an insatiable appetite and are exceptionally aggressive. They kill their prey much like some big cats: they immobilize the victim before delivering a powerful fatal bite to the back of the head. Look, you could probably take on a weasel, but it’s going to mess you up quite a bit.
