Northern Ontario residents find a shocking and unwelcome surprise in their barn (Video)

This week as part of our Village Wild video series we're featuring a video submitted by Jessie Gardiner and Sebastien Oorlynck.

Watch as this determined bobcat struggles to break free from a chicken coop, frantically clawing at the window for escape. Though the bobcat eventually finds freedom, the fate of the chickens, Jessie and Sebastien confirmed, wasn't as fortunate.

Shot in Northern Ontario, this footage highlights the resilience and adaptability of these predators. The bobcat's intrusion into the coop underscores the relentless pursuit of food in a challenging environment, where it must navigate between its instinctual hunting behaviours and the human-made obstacles it encounters.
