Attacked and fiercely pursued by a gray wolf, the bison retaliated, launching its opponent into the air.
Bison are large herbivores native to the North American Great Plains. They must always be on guard, as gray wolves and bears can attack at any moment, turning them into a meal.
Bison retaliates, injuring the gray wolf.
In the clip, a lone bison is being chased by a gray wolf. Once the wolf catches up to its prey, it immediately lunges to attack. However, this time the bison decided to strike back, severely injuring the gray wolf.
The bison not only stomped repeatedly on the wolf’s face but also tossed it into the air, making it struggle to escape death. With the severe injuries it sustained, the gray wolf will have to go without food for several weeks before it can hunt again.
The gray wolf is a mammal belonging to the Carnivora order and is native to the Eurasian and North American continents.
Gray wolves are social animals, typically living in packs of about 5 to 11 individuals. A pack usually consists of 1-2 breeding adults, 3-6 juveniles, and 1-3 pups. Within the pack, the alpha wolf holds supreme authority, and all other wolves must follow its commands during daily activities and hunting.
As top predators, gray wolves are an integral part of the ecosystems in which they reside. They inhabit various environments, including forests, deserts, mountains, tundras, taiga, and grasslands, as well as cold, icy regions.
