In 2019, 5 hungry North American gray wolves besieged the cougar in order to snatch the red deer in the mouth of the mountain lion, and the fierce battle lasted for a full 2 hours, resulting in the mountain lion being outnumbered, torn to pieces by the wolves, and swallowed by the gray wolf with the red deer.
In 2017, in order to rescue the injured bear, a female black bear bravely rushed into the encirclement of the wolf pack and launched a life-and-death battle with 16 hungry wolves, but the enemy was outnumbered, and the female black bear finally lost her life due to physical weakness after killing 5 hungry wolves, and became the belly meal of the wolf pack.
It can be seen that the combat power of wolves is so terrible that even black bears and mountain lions cannot compete with them, and some ordinary animals can avoid wolves when they encounter them. so
Will wolves have a life gate? What should I do when I encounter them? Let's take a look at it together.
On a global scale, wolves can be seen, have strong adaptability, can compete with other large wild animals, obtain food resources in nature, and continue to multiply.
In the case of the gray wolf, there are 38 subspecies below, and the physical characteristics are also different, and the higher the dimension, the larger the body size, which is distributed in Europe, Asia and North America.
There is a gray wolf in North America, which can weigh about 60 kilograms, and when catching prey, the top speed can reach 65 km / h, and it is a powerful fighting force that can rival lions and tigers.
At the speed of the wolf, it is difficult for people to surpass, not to mention that there is amazing endurance, at the highest speed, running 20 kilometers continuously is no problem, if people encounter wolves pulling their legs, it is obviously unwise.
The reason why the wolf can have such a fast speed is mainly due to its special body structure, its front legs are longer than its hind legs, its entire body is leaning backwards, and its four legs are slender. When running, use your toes to contact the ground, the body is light, reduce the friction with the ground, and maintain speed while quickly turning.
There are a few points to note:
1, lone wolves are more terrible
Wolves are social animals, and with the penetration of modern civilization into the wilderness, wolves know how powerful humans are, so wolves generally do not actively attack humans. But the lone wolf is different, the lone wolf is generally expelled from the wolf pack by the wolf pack, losing the help of the group, the difficulty of the lone wolf hunting is greatly increased, often facing the threat of hunger and death, so when it sees humans, it will risk attacking.
2. Do not hurt the wolf cubs or try to take them away
According to the experience of steppe herders, once a person injures a wolf cub, or takes a wolf cub, the wolf will follow the smell to track you, or take revenge, or retrieve his own child.
3) Don't try to domesticate wolves
I have also seen many stories or reports about raising wolves, and if you are not a professional, it is not recommended that you raise wolves. As the saying goes, feeding an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf makes sense. Wolves are also particularly bloodthirsty, and one day they may be stimulated by fresh flesh and blood and hurt people.
4, fire is lifesaving
If you really want to encounter the entanglement of wolves, ignition, whether it is day or night, fear of fire is the nature of animals, even if it is just a small wooden strip, a roll of paper, as long as it is lit, the wolf does not dare to come near you. Don't listen to what hits the wolf's waist, legs or whatever, for a wolf who dares to attack you, your resistance and reaction are very weak.
Where is the wolf's door of life?
Wolves and dogs belong to the same canine family, the size of the same size is almost the same, the so-called fate gate is the same, no more than the wolf has a wild danger, as long as you are aware of this, dare to attack, astute, an adult to deal with a wolf is more than enough.
Hemp legs, tofu waist, iron brain cover, these few words are to say wolf, wolf brain cover is very hard, bare hands can not hurt the wolf brain cover, wolf legs and waist are relatively weak, such as dogs, and then large dogs, people can ride up to frame it.
Although the wolf's legs and waist are relatively weak and can be used as a strike point, these are not yet life-threatening.
The wolf's nose and eyes are the weakest, this is the real fate, and the heavy fist beckons the wolf to escape. When wolves communicate with each other, the weak will lie on the ground and show their abdomen to show submission, which shows that the wolf's abdomen is also one of the doors of life.
I believe that many netizens who have watched documentaries related to beasts of prey will know that the beasts are not afraid of heaven, but they are naturally afraid of fire, and the wolves of course have not been able to escape from this psychological phenomenon, but the wolves are good at fighting in groups, and they are accustomed to attacking the prey from multiple directions, so it is obvious that fire does not play a big role for the wolves, and can only play a little intimidating role.
So what else would wolves fear besides fire?
What makes people can't help but look at the wolves every time they go out to hunt, they are a majestic and exuberant appearance, the momentum is very frightening, but who can expect such a fierce wolf to be afraid of thunder and lightning, not only that, the wolf will also be nervous when it hears other loud things, like the roar of the tractor operation is enough for the wolves to eat a pot.
But in general, the herders who raise sheep on the plateau, although they know that wolves are afraid of loud noises, do not take advantage of this, but think of a more clever way, they choose to hang an iron collar around the neck of the sheepdog, in order to directly prevent the wolf from swooping down on the prey and taking the lead in biting the neck of the prey. It has to be said that although wolves are predators that cannot be underestimated in the animal world, they are still too tender compared to humans.
How to deal with wolves in the wild!
When encountering a wolf in the wild, do not panic, with the wolf's keen observation, your fear will be caught by it, because your fear will only strengthen the wolf's guts, and they are likely to attack you immediately.
At this time, you should slowly bend down while watching the wolf, and make a stone shape (even if you have a knife in your hand), if the wolf finds that you will attack it, it may turn around and run. Or use your trekking pole or other iron object, anything that can make the sound of metal hitting, and strike hard, and when the wolf hears it, he will think of the iron clip of the wolf, and their ancestors will suffer countless losses, so they will remember the lesson.
If these two moves do not work, immediately shout (of course, you better not shout for help, because no one can save you, it is a way to do a lion's roar), wolves are afraid of shouting, usually not fully sure, they will not rush to attack.
What if, after you bend down and yell and clang everything, the wolf still looks at you?
At this time, if you have a lighter, immediately light a torch, and boldly hold the torch to the wolf, it will inevitably escape. If you don't have a torch, take off your clothes and light them, usually clothes are easy to light, don't be reluctant to give up your clothes, although it is likely to be a high-grade storm jacket, clothes can also save your life at critical times.
Which of the wolf breeds is the most powerful
North American gray wolf
Not only the "giant" of the wolf, but also the largest of all the canines, not to mention the Tibetan mastiff or something, of course, it is larger than the Tibetan mastiff, and it is a small meaning to fight the Tibetan mastiff. North American gray wolves are extremely wild, they live in the vast North American region, where there are many powerful predators, such as brown bears, mountain lions, etc., in the place of the master of the cloud, you must be strong.
Russian wolf
The standard large gray wolf is also one of the largest of the various gray wolf subspecies. Russian wolves have excellent endurance, suitable for long-distance running, narrow chest, strong and powerful back and legs, making their maneuverability extremely efficient. The running speed can reach 65 kilometers per hour, and the distance of each step can be up to 5 meters when sprinting, is it very scary?
Northwest Wolf
Also known as the Night Moon Wolf, it likes to howl everywhere at night, lives in the northwest region of our country, and is one of the representatives of Chinese wolves. The temperament of the northwest wolf is particularly fierce, and the character is tenacious and hardworking, persevering, and will not give up until the goal is reached, this spirit simply makes human beings ashamed, and many northwestern people regard this wolf as a symbol.
The appearance of the northwest wolf is also tall and powerful, living in a group, generally seven horses in a group, a small group, but very responsible.
Where are wild wolves in China now?
Has anyone ever heard of the Chinese wolf? This is actually a subspecies of the gray wolf, and existing scientific studies have shown that their origin is very early, dating back to about 300,000 years ago in the Late Pleistocene, surviving the Ice Age, and the layers are spread throughout the Chinese mainland. But on February 5, 2021, wolves have been listed as national second-level protected wild animals, the number of wolves in the world is decreasing, and the mainland also surveyed in 2008, when the number of Hulunbuir steppe wolves has not exceeded 2,000, and there is no accurate public data for the northwest region.
In recent years, with the increase of wildlife protection, the threat posed by human hunting to the wolf population is not as great as before, but whether it is the restoration of the natural habitat of the wolf pack or the restoration of the number of wolf populations, it takes enough time, which is why more and more protected areas have been established, the purpose is naturally to better achieve harmonious coexistence between humans and animals, and hope that these wild animals can become more and more in the future, rather than gradually becoming extinct.
