Maimaiti nodded and said: "I also know the most effective team combination for hunting, but it has a prerequisite. That means that there is not much difference between wolves and wolves when the amount of food is limited. They have their own territories and have their hunting scope limited. In order to ensure the continued survival of their race, it is necessary to limit the number of wolves.
When the number exceeds the maximum that the territory can support, the wolves will automatically expel the weak wolves, just like the company layoffs during the economic downturn.
However, this theory is demonstrated on paper. You should know that when food is scarce in winter, wolves’ clan and clan will put aside their prejudices and form a large group for group hunting.
So, do you know that between the wolf family and the family, it is the strength of the power to divide the scope of the territory,
Do you know that in addition to the combination of the wolf family and the family, there are also expulsion and annexation. Do you know how two neighboring families negotiate, provoke, and then launch a war, ambush, encircle, and confront the enemy? Fang’s clan leader initiated a beheading operation, or instigated the young wolves of the other party to leave the pack, or went to find those lone wolves and let them become nails to be inserted into the enemy camp. Have you heard of this? "
I was stunned. If it was like what he said, wouldn't the wolf become fine? Infernal Affairs will be staged.
Passing through several Gobi, a small hill appeared in front of him. Maimaiti let the team rest, then climbed uphill, and I followed him up.
Maimat said: "In fact, because observing wolves is a very dangerous thing, and the wolves themselves are not easy to be tracked, I have only seen them in secret a few times. So I said, I will take you to see them this time. The wolf is completely different from what you think.";
I stood there for a moment and asked: "Are you talking about the third pack of wolves?";
Shamsak said: "Since the third pack of wolves came, the first two packs of wolves have disappeared. I don't know if they were expelled or annexed."
Maimat said: "The original concept of wolves is very strong. One is dependence, after all, it is the place where they were born and raised; the other is that they will not fight in an environment that they are not familiar with. Every wolf can be said to be right. My family’s territory is well known, this
For them, it is a skill that must be mastered for hunting.
However, the territory of wolves is not static. If natural disasters, such as drought and severe cold, cause food to fail to support their livelihoods, at this time, there will be a rare situation, which is what we will see. "
"Migrating wolf?"
Maimaiti glanced at me, nodded and said, "Yes, migrating wolves. However, there are prerequisites for wolf migration. First of all, a particularly powerful family must appear. Like humans, wolves are also talented. Sometimes, certain Suddenly there will be a particularly strong or conspiring patriarch in this family. Under its leadership, that family will definitely be stronger than the surrounding families. When the wolf family is strong enough to ignore the surrounding families, at the same time they Will also ignore the so-called unspoken rules of territory.
In front of this family, there will be no more territorial boundaries. They will occupy the territories of other families. Those weak families can only choose to obey or be expelled. At this time, the entire wolf pack has begun to transform from a family to a group. The affiliated families gathered around this dominant family will gradually increase.
The difference is that they are not simply cooperative groups, but have become a hierarchical strategic group with a hierarchical relationship.
The second condition is that the environment changes. Territories with abundant supplies will not have terribly powerful families. Only in places where supplies are scarce and territories cannot sustain their livelihoods, where there are repeated battles between families, will a family suddenly rise. When they gather into a group, and there is still no food to feed them in that huge territory, then the whole group will undergo a qualitative change, and they will transform from territory wolves to migrating wolves. They will be forced to migrate thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers from their hereditary residence in order to find a viable environment.
The biggest difference between territorial wolves and migrating wolves lies in their numbers. In the long-distance migration, the unknown difficulties are immeasurable. Without sufficient numbers to maintain, the wolves dare not migrate on a large scale.
Migrating wolves are a means that wolves are forced to adopt in order to survive. At this time, there are not dozens or hundreds of wolves, and more than a thousand wolves may gather together. "
"Thousands of wolves gathered together to migrate? Have you seen it?"
Maimaiti nodded and said lightly: "I only saw it once. At that time, we had 20 people. In the end, only I was lucky enough to survive."
What love scene would it be to be hunted by a thousand wolves
I was chased by wolves in Lop Nur, but there were only about twenty wolves, and they were not migratory wolves. The scene was enough to make me unforgettable for a lifetime.
Jia Sidao told me that wolves are learning creatures, which are different from memory hereditary types. The she-wolf needs to teach the coyotes how to hunt. When hunting, the head wolf locks the target, and the rest of the wolves have their own routes and positions, chasing and intercepting prey from all directions. Usually this kind of tacit understanding can be skillfully cooperated after several actual combat exercises. Many family wolves have cooperated since childhood. Hunting, the degree of tacit understanding is extraordinary.
When there are a large number of prey, the wolves will drive away the prey, causing confusion in the prey group. After running a few laps, they will target the slowest running prey, disease and disabled prey, or the cubs that have lost the protection of adult prey. Then slowly encircle, concentrate the superior force to deal with a single individual, this is the wolf pack tactics that later evolved into a classic battle.
When the prey is alone, especially the large prey, or the prey that leaves the group alone in old age, the wolves are not in a hurry. They will follow the prey far behind and follow the trail left by the prey to see if the prey is disabled. ; Sniff the feces of the prey to see if the prey has indigestion; observe the grass and leaves that the prey has eaten to see if their mouths are okay...
Therefore, wolves have a very high hunting success rate. They are the most efficient team. They will not chase and fight when they can do it effortlessly. When they can avoid danger, they will never rush forward if they find a dying head. If that kind of prey can pose a threat to them, they will always follow.
A dozen wolves form an arc and are about ten meters away from the prey. If the prey strikes back, they will retreat; when the prey continues to move forward, they will surround themselves again and maintain their formation. As long as they are not extremely hungry wolves, They are very patient.
They will wait until the large prey die of old age, disease, or scared to death...
In short, the wolf is the smartest, most team-work spirit, and a dangerous animal besides humans in the world today!
