The terror of man-eating wolves is at its peak in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh. So far these dreaded wolves have killed about 9 people. Those who lost their lives include a woman and 8 children. Let us tell you in this article today how wolves hunt.
Hunting in groups
Recently, a video went viral on social media, in which it can be seen how a pack of wolves is roaming in Bahraich. There are more than four wolves in this pack. However, only four wolves are visible in the camera. According to experts, the wolf is a creature that hunts in a pack. They are afraid to hunt alone. However, if there is a small creature or a human child in front, then even a lone wolf can attack.
How physically dangerous is a wolf?
The cunning and ferocious nature of wolves makes them a big and dangerous predator of the forest. The wolf proves to be a dangerous predator with its deep eyes, strong jaws and strong muscles. The length of a common wolf can be about 4 to 6 feet and their weight can be 30 to 80 kg. The teeth and jaws of wolves are so strong that they can easily tear the body of the prey. Like dogs, wolves also have a very high hearing and smelling ability. This helps them find prey and communicate with other members of the group.
How big is a group of wolves
A wolf never lives alone. It always lives in a group of 6 or 10. In scientific language, it is called a pack. Sometimes a pack of wolves can even number 20. Every pack is led by an “alpha” pair. That is, a male and a female. The job of both of them is to lead the group and be at the forefront in hunting.
Why are wolves attacking in Bahraich
Experts believe that once wolves get used to hunting humans, they attack again and again. Actually, humans, especially children, are easy prey for them. This is the reason why wolves are hunting children again and again in Bahraich.
