The she-wolf died unexpectedly, the three cubs were hungry for feeding, and the herders were so kind that they came up with a brilliant plan to bring the wolf cubs back to breastfeed the ewes. So will the ewe be willing to nurse the wolf cubs?
Nomadic peoples on the Mongolian steppe
Friends who have been to Mongolia are often very curious about the steppe, so they will stay in the steppe for some time to feel the charm of the steppe. In this steppe, there are nomadic peoples, bayar is one of them, he grazes his cattle every morning, returns in the evening, and the days are very comfortable and full. As a nomadic man, Bayar loved the steppe deeply, and although there were wolves in this steppe, this flaw did not change his love for the steppe in the slightest.
Wolves on the steppe often wrestle with herders, and for herders, they also enjoy it. Bayar, who often grazes, also has many unusual stories, and rescuing wolf cubs is one of them.
An accident on the way to grazing
It is said that one morning in the late autumn, Bayar, as usual, drove his sheep out of the house and went to the grassland to graze. However, when he was grazing, he suddenly saw that not far from him, there were some small animals wandering. Bayar wanted to find out, so he leaned forward to see what was going on.
He found three wolf cubs in the meadow rubbing an adult she-wolf, but the she-wolf lay motionless on the ground. Bayar carefully examined the she-wolf and found that the she-wolf had injuries, possibly due to an infection of the wound and died. The she-wolf died unexpectedly, leaving the three wolf cubs without recourse. After a winter's baptism, I am afraid that these three wolf cubs will no longer exist.
Adopt helpless wolf cubs
Although the herders in the steppe hated wolves, they still had compassion in the face of this little wolf who had just arrived in the world. If you don't adopt yourself, then the wolf cub will lose its life. Bayar didn't think much about it, he planned to adopt these little wolf cubs, after all, this was also a weak life, how could he just ignore it. So he put these little wolf cubs in the cloth bag he carried with him and took them back to his home.
When Bayar brought the cubs home and released them, they kept barking. Apparently, these little wolf cubs were hungry, and they were looking for something to eat. Bayar took out some meat, but the little wolf cubs did not eat, still barking, at this time he seemed to understand the truth, it turned out that these little wolf cubs were too small to eat at all, and could only drink milk to survive. But where do you find wolves to feed them?
When Bayar saw the flock, he had a solution in his mind. He placed the cub under a ewe and asked the ewe to feed the cub. However, as soon as the ewe saw this unusual cub, she immediately ran away, perhaps the wolf and the sheep were born with hatred, and the ewe said that she would not feed the little wolf cub, and even looked a little afraid.
A herder's trick
Bayar tried many times, but the ewe just didn't want to feed the little wolf cubs, what can be done? Bayar thought that the ewe might recognize the wolf from the visual and taste point of view, whether it was seeing the appearance of the wolf or smelling the smell of the wolf, it would not be at ease, and irritability and fear were naturally generated. If you want the ewe to feed the wolf cubs, you have to make them think that these little things are their own children.
Bayar thought of this, so he had the idea, he put the little wolf cubs together, glued wool to these little wolves, and then coated the little wolves with sheep's urine. To know that sheep are very inflated animals, especially the urine of sheep, it is even more unbearable and full of gas. If the baby wolf cub is coated with this urine, the sheep will never smell other odors.
With the attitude of trying it out, Bayar put the cubs of the three wolves next to the ewe, let the little wolves mix with the lambs, and go to feed, and sure enough, the ewes did not run away at this time, but patiently fed the three wolf cubs. This method worked, and seeing the wolf cubs desperately sucking the milk of the ewe, it was obvious that they were really hungry. After a long time, the three wolf cubs were full, and they snuggled up to the ewe and fell asleep.
Bayar saw the little belly of the wolf cub bulging up, angry and funny, angry that he had saved the enemy, indeed, the wolf on the steppe was the enemy of the herders, and also the enemy of the sheep; the laughter was that the sheep actually guarded the wolf cubs, I don't know if these cubs will attack the sheep when they grow up, you must know that this is the nurse who once fed them. But no matter what, now the little wolf cub still needs to rely on the ewe to survive.
It has to be said that the wisdom of the herders is still very high, and special ways are taken to allow the wolf cubs to survive smoothly. Some people say that herders and wolves are not sworn enemies? In fact, it is true, but any good person will be sad for the weak, whether it is a man or a wolf. Bayar happens to be a kind herder, and naturally will not let the wolf cubs fend for themselves.
