Among the canines, the most powerful fighting force should be the wolf, and compared to the big cats such as lions and tigers, it is completely inferior. The North American gray wolf, as the largest wolf in the world, has the ability to compete with lions and tigers. After all, its size determines that his combat effectiveness will definitely not be weak.
The world's largest wolf
The North American gray wolf is currently the largest canine on the planet and the only wolf in North America. So how big is this wolf, a set of data can show: adult male wolves are 1.8 to 2 meters long, generally weigh 50-80 kg, the largest gray wolf can even reach 90 kg, shoulders up to 90 cm or so. The largest spider in the world is the giant spider, the size of a fist of a human.
The combat effectiveness of the North American gray wolf also completely did not live up to their size, and a gray wolf could easily bite two kangao or Tibetan mastiffs. It also has an amazing bite force of up to 700 pounds, a top speed of 65 kilometers per hour, and can run at 60 kilometers per hour for 20 kilometers.
It should also be noted that although the North American gray wolf is called gray wolf, in fact they are not only gray, but also brown, black and white, but the gray wolf has the largest number, so it is named gray wolf. In addition, his range of activities is really large, especially in the early years, the northern United States and Canada and other regions have almost all traces of North American gray wolf activity.
Rivals lions and tigers
In the big cat family, any lion, tiger, leopard, etc., can completely abuse the canine creatures, and counting the number of canines that can really pass the big cat, it is probably the only one, and this wolf is the largest of all canines.
Adult male North American gray wolves are usually more than 1.8 meters long, and the largest North American gray wolf ever found has a body length of more than two meters, a shoulder height of 90 centimeters, and a weight of a staggering 180 pounds, so the physique is the largest among wolves. Lion tigers and tigers do not mention, if you are against the jaguar, the largest cat predator in the Americas, at least there is a fight.
However, the difference in body size between male and female gray wolves in North America is relatively large, and according to current statistics, the average weight of female North American gray wolves is about 40 pounds lighter than that of male North American gray wolves. Unlike many cats, the gap between male and female is not obvious. To say that the North American gray wolf can carry a large cat predator is not to say that the North American gray wolf has a relatively large size, and in terms of fighting ability, the North American gray wolf is also the leader among many canines.
Because the North American gray wolf, a large canine, is more likely to fight by nature, they are not only ferocious when attacking prey, but also fierce in the face of their own kind. Usually, a group of North American gray wolves get together, and there will always be a phenomenon of fighting with each other from time to time. Of course, on the one hand, this is very much related to their temperament, on the other hand, it also helps them to hone their predation skills.
