Chapter 286 Wild Dogs

Wild dogs can prey on small and medium-sized animals alone, successfully on average once out of five times.But more often than not, wild dogs hunt together, usually in a team of three to eight.Such small teams succeed approximately eight out of every eleven times.Sometimes, there will be dozens or even hundreds of wild dogs hunting together.However, due to food restrictions, this situation is extremely rare.

In a temporary alliance, the wild dogs act as the main force of the attack.Sometimes, the final captured prey will be far away from the starting point (the wild dogs can run at a speed of 20 meters per second for an hour when hunting), so when the main attack starts, the wild dogs will always leave a few Serve as a liaison, a role often filled by the old and the weak.

After each successful hunt, the wild dogs will not share the prey on the spot.If it is a small or medium-sized prey, the wild dogs will cooperate with each other and return to humans with the prey in their mouths, and hand over the assigned power to humans.Generally speaking, after human beings decompose their prey, they will first give the viscera as a reward to the heroes.Then, they will roughly assess the hunger of the wild dogs, and use this as a basis to add some meat and bones to the wild dogs.At this time, the wilderness people will not be too harsh on the wild dogs - although being harsh to the hero will not cause the disintegration of the temporary alliance, but if the wild dogs lack physical strength, it may lead to the failure of the next hunting, and in the end the gains outweigh the losses.

If it is a larger prey, the wild dog will guard the prey and drive away scavengers such as vultures and other small and medium-sized carnivores.In the face of a large beast with malicious intentions, the wild dogs will not sacrifice their lives to defend the fruits of victory, but they will flee aside and bark loudly angrily, so as to notify the human reinforcements to come quickly.

When humans arrive on the scene, a fierce conflict may break out with large beasts.The outbreak of conflict depends on the large beasts.On the one hand, it depends on the hunger of the large beasts, on the other hand, it depends on whether they have cubs waiting to be fed.Humans have no say in whether to fight or not.Even if hungry humans have a strong desire to turn large beasts into food, they cannot catch up with large beasts that do not have the will to fight. At this time, even if wild dogs obey the orders of humans to chase down the fleeing beasts , but ten times out of ten times it is impossible to catch up.

If they are not too hungry and have no young to raise, large beasts will try to intimidate humans by roaring and turning their lips to expose their sharp teeth, but this threat is almost impossible to succeed.Then, they often choose to leave with dignity.Large beasts of prey treat humans as they treat pack-living medium-sized carnivores.In their minds, all living animals are food, but when it is not necessary, they are not willing to fight to the death with creatures that may harm themselves.Because once that kind of extreme conflict breaks out, even if the large ferocious beast does not die, it will at least be injured, and serious injuries are often synonymous with death.

The casualties caused by conflicts with large beasts are not the greatest, and the most dangerous situation is hunting bison.

The steppe bison, descended from the bison, have evolved to adapt to the Siberian climate, making them more closely related to the yak in appearance.The wilderness buffalo is covered with thick long hair, which is as thick as a blanket, which can effectively defend against blunt objects.Their skin is extremely thick and tough, except for anti-material sniper rifles, almost no other firearms can penetrate it smoothly.The armor most favored by wilderness people is the leather armor made of buffalo hide. Wearing this leather armor to fight with wild beasts is almost equivalent to saving one's life.In addition, if the dried bison hide is used as a cutting board, even if it is used to chop bones and chop meat, it will be no problem to use it for three to fifty years.

In addition to having excellent defense, the wilderness buffalo's attack power is equally terrifying.The shoulder height of an adult male wilderness bison can exceed 1.9 meters - visually it is already a head start, because the average height of a wilderness male is less than 1.2 meters, and seeing such a huge animal will always make you panic.Male bison weigh more than [-] kilograms, and the most majestic leader can even weigh one and a half tons.When they came at seventy yards, the first instinct of any animal on the moor was to run away.Generally speaking, if misfortune fails to avoid it, only a very small number of animals with the most tenacious vitality will have a certain probability of surviving—provided that they are lucky enough to avoid the horns on the head of wild cattle in the wilderness.The distance between the two horns of wilderness bison is [-] meters, the horn itself is about [-] cm long, and the upper side is about [-] cm smooth.This means that once the body is hit by the horn, it will most likely form a very terrible penetrating injury.Under such an injury, even a Tyrannosaurus rex would die quickly due to severe blood loss.

Therefore, even the lions dare not easily provoke the wilderness bison.Before being starved mad, the most ferocious carnivores on the wasteland would only dare to sneak up on the cubs of bison at best.

The weapons used by the wilderness are very difficult to cause serious damage to the wilderness buffalo.On the contrary, bison can easily cause serious and irreparable harm to humans.If it is said that pretending to be dead can still gain a chance of life in front of large beasts, then a conflict with a bison must be life and death.Because the buffalo herd will trample furiously on the target lying on the ground until the target is a puddle of flesh.

If you are lucky, that is to say, people have caught enough food before encountering the bison herd, then people will not attack the bison herd.As another group in the temporary alliance, the wild dogs have no desire to attack the bison herd unless they are led by a human.Therefore, if people choose to leave, wild dogs will happily follow behind humans instead of provoking those behemoths recklessly.

If temperatures are already low and previous hunting has yielded little, humans have no choice.Although there are many animals in the wilderness, it also requires luck to meet and successfully capture prey.In order to obtain enough food so that the villagers can survive the winter smoothly, at this time humans can only pray to the gods they believe in, and then bravely attack the bison herd.

Fighting with bison herds, or fighting with large beasts, it is always difficult for humans to avoid casualties.As members of the alliance, the wild dogs also suffer serious losses in such situations.

It is difficult for people who do not live in the wilderness to understand why the wild dogs have worked so hard to catch the prey and hand it over to humans for distribution, and they will obey the wishes of humans and fight against beasts, bison and other animals without fear of casualties?If it is a domestic dog, people can still understand.

But since it is a wild dog, what is the purpose of doing this?
