All who go deep into the wilderness know that nature is cruel and that in the wild, people can easily become hunters in the food chain.
Under normal circumstances, wolves are extremely wary of humans, naturally less aggressive to humans, and encounter wolves, which is also the least common of all large predator attacks.
But that doesn't mean you can take it lightly.
So, what do you do when you encounter a wolf in the wilderness?
How did you survive the wolf attack?
I. Principles of Dealing with Wolves and Wolves:
1. Avoid triggering attacks:
If you find yourself suddenly encountering a wolf, your first priority is to prevent the situation from escalating into a wolf's aggressive behavior.
For the same reason, avoid showing your teeth.
Bowing his head and bending slightly, the wolf would consider it an act of obedience and non-threatening.
Slowly back off, but don't turn your back on the wolf.
Don't rush to turn around and run away, if the wolf sees you running, it will treat you as prey, you can't run the wolf.
2. Respond to attacks:
If the wolf starts roaring and swooping at you, you can no longer behave obediently and non-threateningly.
You need to show it that you are not an easy target to hunt,
If you have a stone or something in your hand, throw it at it.
In this case, you're unlikely to actually scare a wolf away, and your goal is to make it stop or back off so you can keep running.
3. Back:
If you choose to go back, you'll try to move in the direction of the crowd.
Wolves hate smoke and fire, and smoke-filled campfires will prevent wolves from approaching, and you can also retreat towards the fire.
If you're a group in the wild, attacked by a wolf or a pack of wolves, stay together and put children, the elderly, or the injured in the center of the group.
If a person leaves the group, the wolf's instinct will go after that person.
。
However, you may have to wait in the tree for a long time, but it is better to stay in the tree than to be attacked by wolves.
Don't run away with your back to the wolf, as this will stimulate the wolf's hunting nature, and it will be more frantic to chase and attack you.
4. If attacked:
If you are attacked by wolves, advise you.
Wolves bite their necks or throats when they attack prey.
You may be bitten in such a position, but your chances of surviving are much greater.
Once you have a chance to breathe, try to get back on your feet and respond to the attack in point 2.
5. Counterattack:
If the wolf doesn't retreat and you don't have a chance to escape, you can only attack it with anything in your hand.
especially.
The purpose of any of your actions is to let it know that you are not an easy person to hunt, so that the wolf will think that it is not worth it to attack you, and if you can clearly show this, the wolf may still retreat.
Some biologists recommend using your clenched fist and shoving it into the wolf's throat to prevent it from biting, but it may not be so easy to do so.
Second, when in close contact with wolves, the following points should be done:
1. Stand taller and make yourself look bigger.
2. Calmly and slowly retreat and keep observing.
3. Do not run away with your back to the wolf or with your back to the wolf.
4. Do not approach the wolf's lair or the location of the wolf colony.
5) Don't run, shout or clap your hands if the wolf tries to get close to you.
6) If the wolf doesn't retreat and shows aggression or howling, you should also yell and throw something at it while continuing to retreat.
7) If it attacks you, be aggressive, stand firm, and fight it back with any possible method (with a stick, a rock, a ski pole, a fishing rod, or anything else you can find).
8. To ensure that your child or your pet does not encounter wolves or wolves while camping, do not let children stay away from the camp or play alone, let them stay close to adults, and keep pets on a leash in the camp.
9, if necessary to climb trees, wolves will not climb trees.
10 If you are with a companion and encounter a wolf pack, you can slowly leave the wolf pack with your back to back.
Third, pay attention to rabies:
Rabies is one of the oldest and most important zoonotic diseases in the world, it is extremely deadly, according to the World Health Organization, the number of deaths caused by rabies in the world is close to 60,000 every year, and 1 person dies of rabies virus every 9 minutes worldwide.
Rabies virus is not unique to dogs, wolves are not the main carriers of rabies, but are infected with rabies due to contact with other wild animals that carry rabies virus.
Therefore, wolves have also become one of the important animals that carry rabies virus, and once bitten by wolves, they must be vaccinated against rabies.
Sporadic attacks on humans by rabies wolves in Europe and Asia are frequent and severe
Of course, don't be too nervous, because the rabies virus spreads neurologically slowly, so the body has enough time to produce antibodies against the vaccine and generate immunity.
Those who enjoy the wild must be aware that all large wild animals, including wolves, pose some risk to human safety.
Wolves rarely attack humans before you enter the wilderness, but the key to safety in the wild is awareness, and it is safer to travel with others than to travel alone.
Hearing a wolf howl or seeing a pack of wolves is an exciting wilderness experience, but everyone in the wilderness must take responsibility for their own safety.
