Wild Boar Scattered a Pack of Wolves. What's the Difference Between a Wolf And a Dog!
Transcript
00:00 Rumor has it that an adult wild boar is so ferocious that it will be worse than any predator.
00:07 When there is no extreme need, then even wolves do not risk getting involved with this uncontrollable
00:13 tank.
00:15 Is this really so?
00:16 Let's try to figure it out in this video.

00:55 So what is the danger of the boar?
00:57 Let's figure it out.
00:59 We will consider not all wild boars in general, but only males as the most powerful and ferocious.
01:06 Although in some situations females can give a heat.
01:10 And yet in this case, let's talk specifically about adult males.
01:15 Here is some basic information about the boar.
01:18 The animal's body length is 1.5 meters and the height at the withers is about 1 meter.
01:26 The mass of the animal usually does not exceed 100 to 120 kilograms.
01:32 But there are wild boars weighing under 200 kilograms.
01:37 Tusks vary in length from 15 to 20 centimeters.
01:41 The boar is rather clumsy but at the same time fast.
01:45 From a standstill it accelerates very quickly, runs at maximum speed up to 40 kilometers
01:52 per hour.
01:54 His eyesight is not very good, so he relies mainly on hearing and smell.
01:59 However in close combat he perfectly sees everything and is able to quickly react to
02:05 danger.
02:06 The boar's main weapon is its long fangs.
02:09 Sometimes he can use his hooves.
02:11 Well here's the basic information we just learned about the wild boar.
02:15 So can a wolf be able to defeat a boar alone?
02:19 Our answer may surprise you.
02:21 No, it cannot.
02:23 Even a couple of wolves do not pose a serious danger to an adult boar.
02:28 The wolves will try to attack from different directions, alternating different tactics.
02:34 But it will be very problematic to overwhelm the boar.
02:38 In the case of one wolf, the boar is usually the first to go on the offensive.
02:43 And the wolf has no choice but to run back to a safe distance.
02:47 Since he has enough skill, only a tiger can handle a wild boar alone without any problems.
02:53 For him this is a tasty catch.
02:56 Despite the fact that wolves are very dangerous and that they have very sharp teeth and powerful
03:02 jaws, they are also cunning and resourceful.
03:05 At the same time, they behave rather cautiously with prey that can give them a fight.
03:10 But the main strength of wolves is not in the teeth, but in the collective organization.
03:16 Attacking a large animal in a flock, they greatly increase their chances of winning.
03:21 Seven against one is just about them.
03:24 If in a fight with one wolf, all the advantage is on the side of the boar, then when meeting
03:30 with a whole flock, the chances of the boar to get out of the water dry are noticeably
03:35 lower.
03:36 However, it has one advantage.
03:38 The boar is a very hardy animal.
03:40 It is not so easy to knock him down with bullets and therefore he can endure the bites of wolves
03:46 for a long time.
03:48 In general, a lot will depend on the boar himself, how strong and motivated he will
03:53 be to win.
03:54 After all, not every male boar has the same experience and strength.
03:59 Despite the fact that the boar is a cautious animal, in the moment of rage, fear is unknown
04:04 to him, and we mean absolutely.
04:08 Here's the thing.
04:09 The wolves fight for dinner, and the boar fights for life.
04:12 His motivation is clearly higher.
04:16 Therefore when there is nowhere to run or it makes no sense, an angry boar rushes right
04:21 at any enemy like a tank.
04:26 But of course, in most cases, wolves get their way.
04:30 Although it should be noted that this is not easy for them.
04:34 The boar is a serious opponent.
04:36 You can't take it at once.
04:39 If the wolves have to choose who to attack - a male or a female, or even better - a little
04:45 boar, then they will definitely not get involved with a wild boar.
04:50 They will bypass him on the longest route.
04:54 So we figured out the topic of wild boars and wolves.
04:58 Now let's find out how a wolf differs from a dog.
05:14 The fact that the grey wolf is stronger and more resilient than a dog is a no-brainer,
05:19 but the main difference is still in something else.
05:22 A wolf and a dog belong to the same family - canines.
05:26 And even outwardly they are very similar.
05:29 There are even breeds of domestic dogs which are difficult to distinguish from a wolf outright.
05:35 In any case, a common man in the street may not figure out who is in front of him - a
05:40 wolf or a dog.
05:42 If we consider the differences between a wolf and a dog in general terms, several key points
05:48 can be distinguished.
05:50 The wolf is stronger, the wolf is larger, the wolf is more hardy.
05:57 The wolf also has better hearing and smell and more powerful jaws.
06:03 Actually this is not a secret for anyone.
06:05 Many films have been made about wolves and the main differences are known to many.
06:11 So why is a wolf better than a dog in all respects?
06:16 There is only one explanation.
06:18 As to humans, many dogs simply lose their working qualities.
06:23 People breed dogs in large numbers, but many owners have dogs either sitting on a chain
06:28 all day, walking only on weekends, or spending most of their time indoors.
06:34 There is very little physical activity.
06:37 Only a few people actually train dogs.
06:40 Here we mean not professional dog handlers, but ordinary people.
06:45 In general, while many dogs are chained or at home, or for example go to dog shows, the
06:52 wolf hones and improves its skills by hunting wild animals.
06:57 It is clear that he will have more strength and experience.
07:01 An ordinary dog simply has nothing to oppose to a predatory beast.
07:06 If we talk about a fundamental difference, then in our opinion this is a trick.
07:12 Whether it is congenial or acquired is perhaps not so important.
07:16 The main thing is that the wolf is more cunning than any dog, even the most trained one.
07:22 The extraordinary intelligence of the grey one is evidenced by his ability to pretend.
07:28 For example, in some situations wolves use a special hunting technique.
07:33 They lure the prey to an inconvenient place for the victim, where they can easily deal
07:39 with it.
07:40 It looks like this.
07:42 A lone wolf approaches a private house or territory guarded by a dog, and with all its
07:47 appearance demonstrates its insecurity and cowardice.
07:52 The meaning of this concept is for the dog to think, or even better, to believe that
07:56 the wolf is afraid of it.
07:58 When the dog swallowed the bait and began to show more aggression towards the predator,
08:03 the wolf starts to run away.
08:05 But he does not run away quickly so that the dog realizes that it is possible to chase
08:11 and teach the intruder a lesson.
08:13 And if the dog runs after the wolf, it will be ambushed.
08:17 For example, one or two wolves nearly may sit in bushes, waiting for the right moment
08:22 to attack.
08:23 And then, a matter of technicality.
08:26 Wolves easily and quickly deal with a stupid and naive dog.
08:31 In some situations even an ambush is not necessary.
08:34 For example, when the wolf is working alone.
08:38 The predator simply lures the dog away into the forest, running away from it, and then
08:43 turns sharply and attacks.
08:45 So the wolf is really smarter and more resourceful than the dog.
