But few people will find that wolves play the role of the weak, because the wolf itself is the weak. For example, in front of the golden eagle of the eagle family of prey, even the strongest wolf will become like a plaything and be slaughtered. This is not much different from the relationship between sheep and wolves, after all, "strong" is only a relative word.
Wolves are the kings of the steppe land, and the kings of the steppes are golden eagles, and they are both carnivores, so there is a great conflict between the two animals when it comes to hunting.
Summer is full of aquatic grass and the grassland has the most wild animals, which is the most comfortable time for wolves and golden eagles, and due to the wide range of recipes and abundant food, they will basically be at peace with each other.
But in the winter, especially after the heavy snowfall, the cold grasslands enter the most silent time of the year, some wild animals begin to hibernate, and more animals hide in deep caves to avoid the cold, resulting in the wolf and golden eagle's diet choices being greatly reduced, and food becoming extremely scarce.
At this time, the contradiction between the wolf and the golden eagle intensified and the conflict continued.
A pack of about a dozen wolves walked aimlessly across the grassland. The head wolf walks in the forefront, followed by some male wolves, and behind the male wolf the female wolf rings the young wolf, after which is the most effective male wolf press of the wolf pack. It can be said that the way such a team travels completely reflects the team spirit of the wolves.
However, in the middle of their march, a group of golden eagles suddenly swooped down and attacked the wolves.
The wolves are worthy of being the super powerful land kings, quickly forming a battle formation to cope with the sudden crisis, but because the she-wolf has to protect the young wolf, the remaining male wolf combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.
As a result, the wolves failed miserably! Several male wolves were preyed upon by golden eagles, and the remaining male wolves were either wounded or crippled, except for the she-wolf and the young wolf, which were basically intact.
However, unexpectedly, after the golden eagle flew away, the head wolf actually organized the male wolves to attack the young wolves collectively, and cruelly ate all the young wolves in the wolf pack.
Many people wonder about this, the male wolf protected the she-wolf and the young wolf, why did he hurt the young wolf?
In fact, this is a kind of helplessness of the wolves!
First of all, when encountering the attack of the golden eagle, the she-wolf chose to protect the young wolf, but it is precisely because of this that the golden eagle only attacked the male wolf, and spared the female wolf and the young wolf, which led to a great reduction in the overall defense of the wolf pack.
Secondly, the presence of young wolves in the wolf pack will seriously drag down the speed of the team, so that the wolves will not be able to move quickly in the event of a crisis.
Finally, and most crucially, after the wolf pack has endured this defeat, the overall vitality is seriously injured, and it is even more difficult to successfully hunt, in this case, the food of the male wolf and the female wolf has become a problem, and there is no extra food to feed the young wolf, so the end of the young wolf will eventually be preyed upon by other predators, such as the golden eagle. Instead of sending meat to the mouth of the enemy, it is better to eat it yourself, so as to replenish the physical strength to survive this winter, so there is the behavior of male wolves eating young wolves en masse.
When we see this, we may wish to make an in-depth analysis of the wolf and the golden eagle to see why the wolf became a weak person in front of the golden eagle.
The main advantage of wolf hunting is its sharp teeth and explosiveness when impacting, endurance, and team coordination. The main advantage of the Golden Eagle Hunting is its wide field of vision, sharp claws, sharp beak, huge wings, and super swooping force. Therefore, in terms of attack power, the wolf is obviously weaker than the golden eagle.
When the golden eagle was preying on the wolves, the position of the wolves was exactly the endless grassland, and although the speed of the wolves running was very fast, it was still inferior to the diving speed of the golden eagle. Wolves consume a lot of physical strength when they run, but the golden eagle swoops or flies along the air, and the physical exertion is not large. In this case, the wolves have no place to hide, which is one of the reasons why the wolves are weak.
When the golden eagle preys on the wolf pack, it can share three ways: wing flapping, beak pecking, and claw scratching, while the wolf is only left with sharp teeth in addition to its own flexibility. The golden eagle can swoop and attack, but the wolf has to look up to the sky to defend, causing the wolf to be distracted when fleeing for his life, looking at the sky while looking at the road. In this case, the weakness of the wolves is more pronounced.
With the same number of equal numbers, most of the wolves are she-wolves and young wolves, and only a few are really effective. However, the number of golden eagles is basically equal to that of wolves, which leads to the fact that at the time of the attack, there are several golden eagles dealing with a wolf, and the wolves are not completely destroyed in the face of the disadvantage of more deception and less deception, which is actually a miracle.
In the human world, there has always been a saying that "there is someone outside the human being", in fact, this sentence is also very applicable to wolves. The so-called strong ones are only relative, even if it is the wolf pack itself, their head wolf will also be replaced. This is just as humans say, "Good guys don't mention the bravery of the year", and wolves are no exception.
