00:00 The outcome of the meeting of a wolf with a dog is a highly discussed topic.
00:05 Opinions are very different and everyone is sure that they are right.
00:10 Some express only their assumptions, while others are based on personal experience.
00:15 Therefore, we decided to make a video on this topic and to clarify this issue.
00:22 Wolf vs German Shepherd, Wolfhounds and Fighting Dogs.
00:27 Who is stronger and who will win? Watch right now!

00:36 And let's get started!
00:47 Today there are a lot of videos on the internet on the topic "Who will win, the wolf or
00:52 the dog?"
00:53 And most of them come to the defense of domestic dogs and argue that they are not as hopeless
00:59 as they are believed to be.
01:02 Everyone describes this action so colorfully - a wolf bites a dog, a dog bites a wolf,
01:08 and whoever turns out to be stronger and more agile is the winner.
01:13 In fact, this is not a boxing match and not even fights without rules.
01:18 A wolf is not a fool and will never fight a dog, big or small, in the sense that many
01:22 of us understand it.
01:26 The fight is to expose yourself to unnecessary risks.
01:30 A wolf cannot afford that.
01:33 Any injury sustained in a fight is a risk of being hungry.
01:38 Well after the famine, you yourself know what will follow.
01:43 And therefore, the wolf does not fight with the dog, he just kills.
01:48 Here is such, although cruel and not entirely pleasant to many, but the truth.
01:54 For example, when two wolves fight each other, they will not use their own killing skills
01:59 as in the hunt.
02:01 A fight between wolves is not a fight, this is just a way to prove to your opponent who
02:06 is stronger.
02:07 But they fight until they bleed only in the most exceptional cases, very rare.
02:13 With a dog everything is different.
02:15 The wolf won't fight it, he will just kill.
02:19 Slyly, carefully, but precisely to kill.
02:23 Because he does it best.
02:26 And if we assume that the opponent turns out to be stronger, then the wolf will better
02:30 run away in disgrace but will not risk in vain.
02:35 The real dogs that can fight a wolf are wolfhounds, which include caucasians, alibi, gampera and
02:41 kangals.
02:44 But there is one nuance here.
02:47 In most cases young and not particularly experienced wolves die from the fangs of wolfhounds, or
02:53 as an option sick and very emaciated who have not eaten for a long time.
03:00 Only a few can cope with an experienced wolf, and we have not heard of such dogs in recent
03:05 decades.
03:07 We repeat once again.
03:09 In our opinion, a wolfhound is capable of crushing a wolf, but a young one.
03:15 He will not master an experienced one.
03:18 The capabilities of the wolf and fighting dogs are often compared, but friends, here
03:23 we will be categorical.
03:26 No fighting dog, no matter how well trained it is physically, has a chance against a wolf.
03:32 To make it clear let's say this.
03:34 A fighting dog that does not possess any, even the slightest hunting techniques, and
03:40 even more so, which even in the wild has never spent night, in a fight with a wolf will look
03:46 like a bodybuilder against special forces instructor.
03:51 Wolfhounds and fighting dogs have nothing in common.
03:55 If the former are at least capable of something, because they actually have to live in the
03:59 wild, then the latter will not have a chance even against young wolves.
04:04 At best such a fight will last no more than 10 to 15 seconds.
04:11 On this thought about wolfhounds and fighting dogs we will end.
04:15 If you share our opinion, please like it.
04:17 If not, we are happy to listen to your arguments.
04:22 And we turn to the fight between the wolf and the German shepherd.
04:26 German Shepherd breeders claim that their dogs are so strong and intelligent that they
04:37 can even fight back the wolf.
04:40 But is it really so?
04:42 Let's figure it out.
04:46 Yes, both the German and the wolf belong to the same family, the canines.
04:52 However unlike a dog, a wolf is a wild beast and a hardened predator, and he has no feeling
04:58 of pity for anyone.
05:01 The wolf lives by instincts.
05:04 To feed himself, the grey one must move a lot, and therefore he is always ready for
05:08 any challenge.
05:11 Throw march for 50 km?
05:13 Easy.
05:14 If necessary, wolves can run a greater distance in one night, up to 100 km.
05:21 Wolves often attack deer, moose, wild boars and other ungulates that are larger than them.
05:29 Of course, a wolf cannot cope with a large prey, but well-coordinated teamwork allows
05:34 them to defeat any prey with ease and in a matter of minutes.
05:40 Be that as it may, even one wolf is a pretty serious opponent, and especially if you compare
05:45 it to a domestic dog.
05:49 The size of the German Shepherd is practically the same as that of an ordinary wolf.
05:53 A male wolf can reach a height of 60-90 cm, a male German Shepherd - 60-65 cm.
06:04 But the wolf has an advantage in weight.
06:06 On average, a male wolf weighs about 50-70 kg, but some individuals can reach even 110
06:15 kg, whereas the body weight of the German is about 30-45 kg.
06:22 Due to regular physical exertion, the wolf has developed muscles and powerful paws, and
06:27 the bite of the wolf is much stronger than that of any other dog.
06:33 The German Shepherd is certainly not a weak dog either.
06:37 This breed has incredible stamina, is very intelligent and can make independent decisions
06:43 in emergency situations.
06:45 Thanks to this, the German is often recruited into the service of the police and the army.
06:51 But still, in a confrontation with a wolf one on one, the German Shepherd has no special
06:56 chances.
06:57 The wild beast is sharpened to kill the enemy, while the dog is trained only to defend.
07:03 Nevertheless, being in the forest, the German Shepherd is able to save the life of its owner.
07:10 A lone wolf simply will not risk in vain, because in fact a man with a dog is a team,
07:16 which means that a wolf will need to confront two opponents at once.
07:21 No, he'd rather find a simpler prey for himself.
07:25 But if the German Shepherd still has to fight with the wolf, then it has very little chance.
07:31 Nevertheless, there is a possibility that the dog will win, for example, if the wolf
07:37 is physically weaker.
07:41 Well friends, we compared the wolf with different breeds of dogs and we realized that the dogs
07:46 have no chances.
07:47 Even the wolfhounds have minimal chances.
07:51 Finally we would like to briefly touch upon another interesting topic.
07:56 Why is the lion afraid to touch the dog even if it attacks him?
08:02 [Lion roar]
08:07 Sometimes animals behave in a very strange way.
08:11 In particular this applies to lions and dogs.
08:14 A very interesting fact.
08:16 Dogs attacks lions and they seem to fall into a stupor and do not know how to behave.
08:21 And something tells me that these are not isolated cases.
08:25 This happens quite often.
08:27 The question is - why is this happening?
08:30 First, let's compare a lion and a dog.
08:35 The African lion is an experienced and very strong predator that is used to killing.
08:40 Only a predator as large as himself, as a Moor tiger, can cope with it alone.
08:46 But in the wild they don't overlap.
08:51 No domestic dog, a priori, can do anything to an adult lion.
08:56 Even a whole pack of dogs cannot cope with a king of beasts, completely different weight
09:02 categories and capabilities.
09:05 But the lion will calmly lay the dog down with one blow of its powerful paw.
09:10 The lioness will also cope with a barking rival without any problems.
09:15 But here is the bad luck.
09:17 When meeting with dogs, lions seem to be lost and only brush them off like an annoying fly.
09:23 What prevents the lions from simply taking and breaking the dog?
09:27 To be honest, this remains a mystery to us.
09:31 The arguments they say "the lions are full and therefore have no interest in the dog"
09:36 are rather unconvincing.
09:38 Lions by nature are very aggressive and temperamental and anyone who looks at them crookedly, they
09:44 are ready to destroy.
09:45 It's all about something else.
09:48 We have several explanations for this, although these are just guesses and they have no scientific
09:53 justification.
09:54 Version number one.
09:56 Self-confidence, steadfastness and fortitude, as well as the readiness to protect the owner
10:02 at any cost, an alternative to the predatory instincts and muscles of the lions.
10:11 It sounds of course trite, but maybe the lions feel that the dog is not in the least afraid
10:16 of them and do not dare to attack it.
10:19 The enemy is new to them and who knows what a desperate barking dog is capable of.
10:24 But it seems that this is not the case.
10:28 Version number two.
10:29 Association with hyenas and hyena dogs.
10:34 Domestic dogs are somewhat reminiscent of schooling predators like spotted hyenas and
10:39 hyena dogs.
10:41 Perhaps the lion looks at the dog and thinks that somewhere nearby is a whole flock of
10:46 such aggressive animals and therefore they do not risk taking active steps.
10:54 Version number three.
10:55 The smell of a person.
10:57 A domestic dog smells like a man, lions feel it perfectly.
11:02 Perhaps it is the human smell that stops them because the instinct of self-preservation
11:06 tells them - do not mess with someone who smells like a human.
11:14 What do you think?
11:15 It would be interesting to know your opinion on this matter.
11:18 Write your opinions in the comments.
11:21 And we hope that you liked this video and you will share it on some of your social pages.
11:28 We do not say goodbye, but say - see you soon!
11:31 Bye bye!
