Recently, a Russian town in the Arctic Circle, the city of Oreenegors, has caused panic because of a group of Arctic hungry wolves that suddenly broke in.
Because these hungry wolves have created many "bloody cases" in the city, the pet dogs in many residents' homes have been taken away by hungry wolves on the road, and the number of these hungry wolves is increasing, and many residents are worried that in the next step, these hungry wolves may attack humans.
Local authorities have urgently hired hunters to hunt these hungry wolves, hoping to drive them out of the city, but at present, the situation is not optimistic.
Unlike antarctica, the 8 million square kilometers of land in the Arctic Circle are not deserted, on the contrary, many countries have land here, of course, according to the size of the country and the scope of the territory, the proportion of the inland area of the Arctic Circle is also different, taking Russia, accounting for about 18% of the land area in the Arctic Circle.
Although Russia has the largest land area in the world, the total population of Russia is only 144 million people (2020 data), while the number of residents living in the Russian Arctic Circle accounts for only 1.5% of the total population of Russia, which can be said to be only more than 2 million people.
Although sparsely populated, there are many wild animals living here, including the top predators in the food chain in the Arctic Circle, the Siberian Plains Wolf, in addition to the polar bears we know.
From the perspective of origin and evolution, the canine we are familiar with today, the husky, was domesticated by the Siberian plain wolf. As a subspecies of the Arctic wolf, the Siberian Plains Wolf has the same habits as the Arctic Wolf, they are distributed in the Arctic Circle, because they are collective activities, social life, so the Siberian Plains Wolf is also the world's largest family of canids.
Before the end of the 20th century, the number of Siberian plain wolves was very large, but later with the increase in the population of the Russian Arctic Circle, and the continuous expansion of the range of human activities, it also led to more and more conflicts between local residents and Siberian plain wolves.
Today, the arctic is getting worse by the global warming caused by the greenhouse effect, so the Siberian plains wolf faces the same dilemma as animals such as polar bears – habitat loss, food shortages, and especially in winter, which has become more pronounced.
Therefore, in order to seek food, these Siberian plain wolves will enter the towns around the Arctic Circle, and according to the video footage taken by the surveillance, these wolves will immediately look around the street for food after breaking in, and it can be seen that they are in a very hungry state.
Naturally, if the prevention and control is not timely and these hungry wolves cannot be driven out of the country as soon as possible, then it is very likely that there will be greater danger in the future - these hungry wolves may attack humans.
This is not the first time that there have been beasts of prey in the towns around the Arctic Circle, and in recent years, the towns in the Arctic Circle have often been infested with wild beasts, and in winter, these beasts are more likely to appear.
For example, in November last year, a group of polar bears broke into the city and "robbed" a garbage truck, and in December 2019, a similar situation occurred, these beasts that broke into towns and villages were in a situation of extreme hunger, and the picture was both frightening and painful.
Speaking of which, not only in the Arctic region of Russia, but also in many other countries, there are similar situations, and in our country, many places are now flooded with wild boars, and the contradictions and conflicts between people are deepening.
There is also the northeast region of China, this year is also a continuous residents on the road "encounter" Siberian tiger, which also makes many people worry that in the future there will be more wild animals because of habitat and food shortages, so as to enter the human living area.
Obviously, before we can live in complete harmony with wild animals, we also need to consider the question: What if we encounter wild animals? After all, beasts are different from humans, they are wild, aggressive, and unable to communicate.
Therefore, when encountering wild beasts, it is also the first thing to do to stay calm and not to panic, and the second is not to stimulate them, to observe the surroundings to find objects to avoid, and then find a way to escape.
Under normal circumstances, beasts do not attack people, because people themselves are not in their food chain, of course, if they encounter a hungry beast, then they must ask for more blessings.
In the final analysis, these beasts are infested in the living areas of human beings, or because of the suppression of them by human activities, so the early restoration of ecological balance and harmonious coexistence with these wild animals is the most important, you think?
