Crazy people always come out before the full moon! .............aw ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu There are all kinds of predators, I prefer the largemouth bass but one can learn alot from the wolves relationship with other sheeple.<g> Knowing ones prey is knowledge like anything else...best knowledge is gained by doing! Most successful predators try to gain some kind of advantage. Animals the wolf may come in contact with are: Coyotes - They will avoid wolves most times. but when encounters occur they are aggressive. Grizzly bears - Are known to eat wolf pups, wolves will chase away bears from the den area. Cougars - Although rare in nature, the cougar being a lone hunter is at a disadvantage in a fight with a wolf pack. Foxes - Foxes have been observed stealing from wolf kills, wolves have been know to steal fox dens, wolves have been known to kill foxes, though it is rare, more often than not they ignore these tiny predators, the exceptions is in the arctic region where wolves will usually kill a fox on sight. Ravens - One of the most fascinating relationships between animals is the one that seems to exist between wolves and raven. The raven, scavenger of food of all types, will often follow wolf packs in hopes of morsels of food. and wolves have learned to watch for circling ravens as a sign of possible food below. Tigers - Wolves and tigers once co-existed in India, tigers would prey on wolves. In a modern setting of a safari park in ontario, when a tiger got loose and entered the wolf compound, the 130 pound alpha male wolf attacked the 500 pound cat immediately before workers gained control of the situation. Dogs - Although wolves are physiologically capable of breeding with dogs, such crossed usually happen in captive situations, trappers tales of wild wolves mating with dogs is usually a campfire myth. Most encounters between wild wolves and dogs are aggressive in nature, it is only natural a dog would be a trespasser in a wolf's territory, small yapping dogs may be attacked as nuisances. Hyheena's are bad ass too, whiny damn things....
