The wolf is a formidable and voracious predator. Even a single gray Bandit poses a great threat to humans in the forest. Although in most cases lone and healthy wolves shun humans. However, it’s not only us that they are afraid of who else do they try not to get involved with now. You will find out in this post. I will show you the animals that even wolves are afraid of!
#1 Bear
First of all wolves are afraid of bear not surprising in general. Almost all animals are afraid of bears only powerful tiger can oppose them with some. But wolves are far from being as powerful and biggest tigers even the largest wolves the gray ones seldom way more than 220 pounds while a bear’s normal weight is 660 to 880 pounds. And it is not the limit particularly, large brown bears can weigh 1320 to 1540 pounds and the weight of the polar bear can reach 1760 pounds. There is nothing a wolf can do to such a huge mass. You shoundn’t forget the fact that bears are first-class. Predators which despite their obesity run very fast can climb trees and excellently wield. Their heavy paws with sharp claws. One precise blow with such a paw and the wolf will be knocked out or die Immediately, the only option fow wolves is to attack a bear in a large pack. But even in this case success is not guaranteed bears are able to defend them selves from several opponents at once so even a pack of 10 wolves won’t do anything to a bear.
#2 Wolfhound wolves
If you want a dog that can successfully fight a wolf but is a gentle companion to your family and children, you have to consider an Irish Wolfhound.
They have been trusted guard dogs for centuries in Ireland for their loyalty, defensiveness, and calm nature. Don’t be fooled, however, as they still have the ability to kill a wolf if necessary.
With a bite force between 250-400 PSI, Irish Wolfhounds have a similar bite power to a wolf, making it a somewhat even fight. It’s their territorial and protective nature that will win the battle, however, as this breed will do (and fight) anything to guard their family or livestock.
The kind-hearted and loyal nature of an Irish Wolfhound only comes about when they are trained consistently.
This breed doesn’t do well with boredom and loneliness, and they can become destructive if they aren’t given a proper motive to protect their pack. Fight for them, and they will fight for you!
#3 Tiger
Tigers are one of the few animals that wolves are scared of in the wild. This is especially true for the Alaskan Tiger, which is causing the wolf population to lower wherever the tiger is present – especially in the northeastern part of Asia.
These numbers indicate a trend: Siberian tigers, or Alaskan tigers, as they are sometimes called, are one of the rare animals in the wild that predate on wolves.
The reason for that is because they’re more powerful but also larger in size, making the battle between a single wolf and a single Siberian tiger seem unfair.
And that’s why wolves are scared of tigers, and will avoid them at all costs. This loss of habitat and also decrease in population numbers is most evident where the two animals exist in the same habitat.
But it’s also becoming more apparent with more research that it’s highly likely that wolves are also scared of almost any tiger species that might be present in its habitat, although the two species will rarely ever coexist in the same habitats.
#4 Mountain Lions
Although rare, a mountain lion is a wolf predator that will attack this animal if it has strayed away from the wolf pack and is an easy kill. Mountain lions will also hunt a wolf cub if the opportunity presents itself.
Mountain lions and wolves typically avoid each other unless an environmental condition forces these two mammals to hunt on the same grounds.
Plus, wolves travel in packs which makes it harder for a solitary animal like the mountain lion to naturally want to kill a wolf in the wild.
#5 Scavengers
A carnivorous scavenger like a vulture or a hyena will eat wolves that are killed by other predators or have died from natural causes. Because scavengers are not capable of killing a wolf by themselves, they must eat the leftover meat and carcass from dead organisms.
