Malt 379 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Some consolation for the rip off TV licence is that they still occasionally make epic documentaries.. It's going to be a huge loss when David Attenborough finally stops narrating programs like this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/15385364 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bet that bison thought "that was one f'ckin big wolf that took me out then!" amazing power to keep running with all those wolves hangin off it though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kenny14 656 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Looking forward to this series. IMO there's too few wildlife documentaries that still show it how it really is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it thought it would have helped.....................it didnt!!.. That was great footage! Bison do have a habit of attacking "downed" herd members. I've heard of hunters shooting one. Only to have others come over and gore it while it's down. No Idea why. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,173 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I wonder how many wolves get badly injured in situations like that, and do they survive if so? I've watched films of the Red Dhole in India, and Cape Hunting Dogs which actually look after injured pack members, going back to lead them to a kill and so on. I wonder if wolves do the same or is it every wolf for itself? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if wolves do the same or is it every wolf for itself? should think its every wolf for itself, in conditions like that theres no room for anything thats not 100% and trying to look after something that isnt 100% would compromise the pack.. just me thinking aloud Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if wolves do the same or is it every wolf for itself? pack members will look after offspring for the alpha male & female while they are out hunting, but also seen them turn on injured pack members so i'm to sure about that. Those Dhole packs have killed tigers & leopards and they are about the size of a small collie. African wild dogs i think have the higher success rate in all the african predators when it comes to hunting they are also known to eat prey while its still alive.
