Considering that a predator tends to strike its prey when the latter's back is turned, it makes sense the wolf would figure that these coyotes would do the same.
Of course, the wolf is the inventor of the strategy of encircling and wearing down their prey by nipping and tearing their flesh one bite at a time. The only difference is wolves use the strategy on much bigger prey, like elk, smaller prey they just stranglehold!
@@VetusBarbatusYou mean collar? It’s a tracking collar used by parks and yes wolves can bark Edit: Are you saying the wolf isn’t a wolf or is just weird?
The tracking collar knows where it is at all times because it knows where it isn't. By substracting where the collar is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference or deviation.
@@legioner9 They do! If you watch some videos on wolves hunting or invading another wolf’s territory, their tails are often held up in the air! This communicates that they’re confident to other wolves. This wolf was tucking his tail to show fear, and probably to keep the coyotes from grabbing it. It’s all so interesting!
@@davidrios3372how do you figured he hasn't done pretty much everything he's wanted to do in life and just knows he's got less time to live than more at this point in his life??
All wolves can bark like dogs. Wolves just don't usually bark much unless for a specific reason like alarm, warning or mixing with howls. Dogs inherit the ability to bark from their ancient wolf ancestors.
Yes, comments section, wolves can bark. They only do it as a warning. A basic search can tell you this. Also wolves are skinnier than you'd think, since the fur is what makes them look bulky. I assume this one has mange and has been treated, given the collar.
the coyotes have likely been after the sick and dying wolf for days if not longer. They spot the weak ones and stay along and stalk them. it takes DAYS not like you see a lion rushing out and grabbing the small weak ones. tail between legs is attacking dogs and other animals will go for the "taint" and bleed them to death over a period of hours.dogs eat their prey alive.
RU-vid doesn't do justice. If you ever see a fully grown male timber wolf you will have a new appreciation for them. They are shockingly large, not like a dog.
@@nemanjastosic7141 Bro who the hell is even talking about mountain lions lol. Everything isn't a fuckin competition. Let people marvel at an animal, holy shit.
Master the wolf...don' let one of the coyote's win he's back. not behind. He only do two touches to the lake.. and he take in front... y se va.. lobo solitario..he understand the inutility of the violence... Master total. saludos from Argentina.. South America..
It’s a young female that is wearing a GPS tracking collar and is probably not with any pack. She has a chance to join a local pack or a male member from that pack may join her and they will try to start another pack in a different location as only the alpha male & female get to mate and that’s got to grow old if you’re not one of them. Three coyotes against one wolf is a good way for everybody to get hurt but I think the amount of hurt will be more severe for the coyotes as they didn’t push the issue, but on the other hand they may have been concerned that the wolf was not alone and the noise of a fight would bring the rest of the pack and then they could get into trouble they would never survive.
@@Rokaize captured studies are not the same as wild packs that are free. The Alfa pair will not accept puppies that are not theirs and will kill them and possibly the offending parents if they do not leave the packs area before the pups are born, no exceptions. Caged wolves act more like some hippies commune and it’s’more of a free for all and something like that has NEVER been observed in wild packs. The alpha pair is just that, they mate and nobody else.
@@frankjohnson6342 that’s what I’m saying. From what I remember reading, the whole concept of “alphas” is based on a poorly done study using captive wolves. The same guy who made that original study says his conclusions were inaccurate anyway. Aren’t wolf wolf packs usually made of a mother and father and their offspring? Aren’t they usually just one big family group?
This is a GPS collar.. because the wolf in Yellowstone are all marked with that...to make some science....they get shoot with some anesthesia and get that collar.... so far as i knew
Come to my town with your Akita, that false sense of security because is a big dog is unfortunately what gets the dog killed. I’ve seen them go after a juvenile wild burro, not a baby and they’ve attacked and or killed big dogs like Ridgebacks, Malamutes etc. A dog is no match for a pack of coyotes and only a stupid person would be willing to risk the dog just for bragging rights. I have a pit bull and no way am I willing to take the risk after what I’ve seen in 26 years living in the mountains. I don’t hate them I just live here in their territory, I take precautions with my dogs and let them be.
Only dogs bark regularly, wolves bark on occasions. Wolves typically bark only as a warning or bluff threat. We ask dogs to warn us alot more often, so they have learnt to be more vocal.
Wolves don’t bark barley at all since that could attract rival packs. It’s like when you hear a strange noise, you don’t yell but you are quiet so you can hear the noise again, and because you don’t want to be seen by whatever it is.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-icDObrsrNr4.html Even in the same area where the video was taken. Video is on the Lamar River at the mouth of Soda Butte Creek.
It could be a cast out yah know banned from the pack? Also “wolf” uhm yeah it’s a wolf it’s from yellowstone so I don’t think it’s weird he has a collar on
@@tommymas1 It wouldn't mean he's done, he's on his own he knows he can't afford any injuries, it will compromise his hunting. So he done what needed doing to avoid confrontation.
Old cast out wolf. Given the right move the coyotes could have taken him and he knew it. He was totally on defense. A healthy wolf they would not likely mess with.
No, not at all. Look at the video, and you'll see the wolf retreating with his tail between his legs. In canine body language, this is an unambiguous sign of surrender or submission. That wolf was run off by this pack of coyotes. Individually, a healthy adult wolf is more than a match for an individual coyote. An old, outcast wolf... no match for a pack of coyotes. It just goes to show how cruel nature is. There is, generally speaking, no animal in nature that gets what we humans would consider a peaceful death. If you are an herbivore, you live until some disease claims you, or you are old and weak, and you get pulled down and eaten by predators. If you are a predator, you live as long as you can hunt and bring down prey, but then (if you also avoid disease) you get old and slow and weak, and can't bring down game, and you then either starve, or because you are starving die in a desperate and failed attempt to bring down prey that is too strong, and that you'd never have gone at when you were healthy. Nature really is cruel, red in tooth and claw.
When he crossed a channel of the Lamar River and headed up the island he was moving away from the road and we were on the clock and had to keep moving.
