Dec 26th, 2019 : Wolf vs Wolfhounds
|
A wolf bites a wolfhound as he is attacked by dogs during a hunting contest outside Almaty, Kazakhstan December 21, 2019. Incredible pictures show a wolf gnashing its huge teeth at hounds during a hunting contest in Kazakhstan. The chaotic scene sees the predator turned prey as it is chased by at least two dogs near Almaty, in the south east of the country. |
The “hunting contest outside Almaty on December 21st” was primarily a contest of Golden Eagles and their human partners.
This must have been a staged feature, a sideshow, as to get these pictures the wolf had to be captured and brought here or
raised in captivity and brought here. The pictures clearly show at least three dogs on this wolf.
| Wolf populations are closely protected in Europe, but no legislation is in place in Kazakhstan - where wolf cubs are sometimes bought and used to protect land and property. The country is believed to have the world's largest population of wild wolves of up to 100,000. |

100,000 wolves over 1,052,100 sq mi (9th largest country in the world) with a population of only 18.5 million.
They are smart people they drive on the right side of the road.

That is ten of those toothy 100+ pounders per square mile.
Gonna take your chances?
They are smart people, they drive on the right side of the road to Grandma's house.

Nope, one wolf for each 10.52 square miles.
6 million people live in the top 10 cities.

I'm sure there are more sizable villages where wolves would not feel safe because wolves will shy away from people and flee unless cornered.

That's what I meant. Here he comes now.
