Playing for keeps

For young stoats, play-fighting is hard to resist. Stalking, chasing and ambushing are all practised vigorously during play with siblings. Slow motion footage captures the skill and agility as they leap and twist in the air. As the youngsters grow up and have to start hunting for themselves, the skills honed during this wild play will become crucial for survival.
