Ferocious wolves can dominate the steppes, but in Siberia, a group of seven wolves was attacked by golden eagles and eventually lost all their lives.
In addition to being fierce, wolves have a good deterrent power in the grassland and even the entire animal kingdom with their clever minds and excellent group cooperation.
The golden eagle belongs to the bird of prey of the eagle family, with wings spreading up to 2.3 meters, and is also an unusually fierce species. Its most intimidating weapon is its sharp claws, and the eagle's eyes are often as sharp as a telescope.
Therefore, a golden eagle hovering high in the air can make prey hundreds of meters away feel frightened. When the prey is locked by the golden eagle, it will swoop down at an alarming speed and attack the key points of the prey with its sharp claws, such as the neck and skull. Under such an attack, most of the prey will be incapacitated in an instant, and eventually become the plate of the golden eagle.
There are usually some slightly larger prey, or know how to avoid the key prey, they will not lose their lives because of the blow of the golden eagle. In the face of such prey, the golden eagle will take advantage of its flight, grab the prey high, and then fall heavily into the ground or valley. Although their lives are very tenacious, they can only helplessly lose their lives in the face of this trick.
The golden eagle has a wide variety of prey, including various mammals and omnivores such as goats, hares and rodents, but it and wolves are competitive species, and there does not seem to be a food chain of natural enemies between them.
So why did the Golden Eagle take the initiative to attack the wolves? And in the battle between the wolves and the golden eagle, can the golden eagle sit firmly on the throne of the victor?
In fact, the scene of the golden eagle catching the wolf is actually not unusual. In Mongolia, there was a people called the Kazakhs, and they have a long history of taming golden eagles. So long ago, the golden eagle has served as a living companion for the Kazakhs, helping people to guard sheep pens and hunts, and wolves are one of their hunting targets.
The wild golden eagle usually does not take the initiative to attack the wolf pack, because the attack of the wolf pack also has a certain deterrent, a little careless, the golden eagle is likely to "steal the chicken can not succeed", but kill the wolf mouth.
But nature is often cruel, and when food is extremely scarce, even among the same races, there is no shortage of mutual predation. Therefore, although the wolf clan is not easy to mess with, but forced by the pressure of survival, the golden eagle also has the possibility of attacking the wolf clan. The golden eagle preying on wolves mentioned in the opening of the film is mostly for this reason.
Therefore, after hunting prey such as wolves, the golden eagle will not only eat a full meal in situ, but also "pack" the remaining food and bring it back to the nest as a backup food.
This is the case with the game between animals, the weak eat the strong, the survival of the fittest. So apart from golden eagles and wolves, what ferocious species have you seen fighting each other for survival? #Animal##I'm going to be on the micro headline##Open Your Eyes##大有学问 #
