00:00 Domestic dogs and wolves are close relatives.
00:03 However, despite family ties, the relationship between them is far from friendly.
00:10 Why can't wolves tolerate dogs?
00:13 And what makes wolves attack them?
00:17 And why don't dogs do the same?
00:20 We will sort out all these issues right now.
00:23 Subscribe to the channel and don't forget to show this video to your dog.
00:28 And let's get started.
00:40 Perhaps someone will express a typical thought.
00:42 The wolf attacks because it is a predator.
00:45 It has a developed predatory instinct and all that.
00:48 However, this is not a complete picture.
00:51 It does not allow us to understand the true motives.
00:55 Yes, the wolf is a beast of prey, but there must be good reasons for attacking someone.
01:02 The dog, in fact, is the same predator, as it belongs to the order of predatory animals.
01:08 But the dog doesn't allow itself the kind of anarchy that the wolf does.
01:13 The second popular version of why wolves attack dogs is that the predator is driven by hunger.
01:20 This is more like the truth.
01:22 A hungry predator is really capable of reckless actions, especially in winter when there is
01:28 little food.
01:30 Choosing between chasing a hare, fighting a bear and attacking a dog on a leash, the
01:35 wolf will choose the latter option.
01:38 A dog on a chain is an easy prey for him.
01:42 However, hunger is not the main reason for attacks on the yard keepers.
01:46 This is just one of the reasons.
01:48 There is another.
01:50 As there are many known cases when wolves attack dogs, but did not touch their flesh,
01:55 hence they were not considered as prey.
01:59 So what motivates wolves in these situations?
02:18 Why are predators not afraid to approach human habitation in order to realize their insidious
02:23 intent?
02:25 The most likely reason for animal logic is that wolves perceive domestic dogs as food
02:30 competitors that have invaded their territory.
02:34 The wolf's domain can extend for hundreds of kilometers, and if there are competitors
02:38 within this vast territory, the wolves will eliminate them.
02:43 This is fundamentally important for them.
02:46 Territory predators are very territorial.
02:49 They will not tolerate strangers on their land.
02:52 Coyotes, jackals, foxes fall under the hot paw.
02:57 And domestic dogs too.
02:59 For wolves, dogs are like poachers.
03:02 And the conversation with the poacher is short.
03:05 Very sorry for the dogs left on a leash.
03:08 Even a dog walking freely around the yard is not always capable of repelling the wolves.
03:13 And a dog which is on a chain is deprived of the opportunity to resist at all.
03:18 Well, why don't dogs attack wolves in return?
03:22 Sometimes they attack, or rather defend themselves.
03:26 Everyone wants to live.
03:27 But dogs are simply physically weaker than wolves.
03:31 They have no chance, except in rare cases.
03:34 So rare that no one even knows about them.
03:37 However, there are times when a wolf can make friends with a dog.
03:41 And we are not fantasizing.
03:43 We will show it to you right now.
03:45 Sometimes animals can surprise.
03:53 For example, in America, a wolf in the truest sense of the word made friends with dogs.
04:00 This interesting behavior is demonstrated mainly by lone wolves that have lived outside
04:05 the pack for a long time.
04:09 This story begins in Juneau, Alaska.
04:13 In 2003, when an unknown wolf began to appear in the vicinity of the city.
04:18 The wolf didn't just come, he played with local dogs.
04:23 At first, the locals decided that he wanted to lure dogs into a trap.
04:27 But the dogs did not disappear, and the wolf who was named Romeo kept coming and playing
04:33 with them.
04:34 Time passed and the fame of the friendly wolf Romeo went around the whole world.
04:40 By that time, not only dogs could play with him, but which is already remarkable, even
04:45 people.
04:47 The locals trusted the wild wolf so much that they allowed their children to play with it.
04:54 Very often Romeo came with a black she-wolf, either a mother or a couple.
04:58 She was named Juliet, of course.
05:02 Maybe Romeo is not a pure Canadian wolf, but a hybrid of a dog and a wolf, so the researchers
05:08 said.
05:09 They said that this theory could explain why it doesn't want to communicate with its
05:13 relatives but plays with dogs.
05:18 Romeo became a symbol of the city as well as a symbol of the movement to preserve the
05:23 Canadian wolves as a species.
05:27 Romeo came for seven years.
05:29 Two books were written about him by authors Nick Janz and John Hyde.
05:34 But in 2009 Romeo disappeared.
05:37 It soon became clear that he died at the hands of poachers when they took these poachers
05:41 themselves with photographs of trophies in which the wolf Romeo was identified.
05:47 In 2010 residents installed a memorial plaque in the city on which it is written "Romeo
05:53 2003-2009".
05:57 The spirit of Juno's friendly black wolf lives on in this wild place.
06:03 Well at the end of the video we will briefly touch upon one more topic, about one dog that
06:08 dog handlers created, no matter how funny it may sound, especially for hunting puma
06:14 and jaguar.
06:16 Stay tuned.
06:18 We're surrounded by wolves.
06:23 We're surrounded by wolves.
06:27 There is a unique breed of dog, Dogo Argentino.
06:33 Unique because by its characteristics it is a real machine, a very strong and powerful
06:38 dog and perfectly wielding a stranglehold.
06:42 If it grabs onto someone, you cannot drag it away, even by the ears.
06:47 As many as 10 different breeds of dogs were used to create Argentine Mastiff, including
06:52 the famous Cordoba Fighting Dog, Dog de Bordo and the Irish Wolfhound.
06:58 Thus the Dogo Argentino is not just some ridiculous mixture, but the embodiment of fearlessness,
07:04 endurance, power and speed.
07:07 This begs a completely natural question.
07:10 Why was such a super dog bred?
07:14 Dogo Argentino was created specifically for hunting large animals such as puma, jaguar
07:20 and spectacle bear.
07:23 This dog was created in such a way that it could not only chase the animal for a long
07:27 time, but also after the chase, enter into a battle with it.
07:32 That is, the main focus was on strength and endurance.
07:36 So is the pumped up Dogo Argentino able to cope with a puma or a jaguar alone?
07:43 We are more than sure not.
07:46 Not every dog can handle a wolf, but here is a big wild cat.
07:50 Well, what are the chances of Dogo Argentino against it?
07:54 Yes, the dog is strong, no doubt about it, but alone it cannot cope with a cat.
08:02 Considering that the weight of this dog does not exceed 45 kg, while both the puma and
08:07 the jaguar weigh almost 100 kg.
08:10 However, videos have been posted on the internet showing Argentine Mastiffs cracking down on
08:16 pumas and jaguars.
08:18 But these videos are not complete, only part of the whole action is posted.
08:22 But in fact, in such spectacular confrontations, cats are either simply deprived of their weapons,
08:28 claws and fangs, or as another option, they are wounded by a shot from a gun.
08:34 However, if we talk about hunting, then one dog is never let down on a wild cat.
08:40 And very often 2-3 dogs die in a fight with a cougar.
08:45 But we will not say anything about the jaguar at all.
08:48 This big cat can lay down the whole pack of dogs.
08:51 But the jaguar is almost never hunted, because at least 10 dogs need to be launched on it.
08:57 And it's not a fact that the hunt will be successful.
09:00 However, today the puma is no longer hunted.
09:03 Thank God it was banned.
09:05 In general, do not believe the staged videos where the Dogo Argentino single-handedly copes
09:11 with a puma or a jaguar.
09:13 This simply doesn't happen.
09:15 Such a spectacle can probably only be seen in Indian movies.
