The fear of man-eating wolves still persists in Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh. People in 35 villages here are guarding their houses by staying awake all night. So far, the forest department has caught four wolves, although two wolves are still creating terror. But today we will tell you a fact related to wolves, which you probably do not know yet. Do you know that a wolf can smell its prey from a distance of more than 2 kilometers?
Wolf
The forest department has so far caught 4 man-eating wolves in Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh. But two are still roaming around and have not been caught. Last Sunday night also, a two and a half year old girl died in a wolf attack. Earlier, wolves had attacked and injured a child, a woman and an elderly person. Let us tell you that in Bahraich, dreaded wolves have killed nine people including eight children so far.
Smell ability
Let us tell you that the smell ability of Indian wolves is exceptionally strong. The wide snout of Indian wolves has about 28 crore smell receptors, which is much more than humans (50-60 lakhs). This is the reason why wolves can guess the smell from very far. Wolves have specific scent glands in different parts of their body. According to research, wolves can smell prey up to 2.5 km (1.5 miles) away. Researchers believe that Indian wolves are capable of detecting prey buried under 3 meters (10 feet) of snow.
Sound of wolves
Indian wolves have four types of sounds. Which includes screaming, growling, whispering and barking. They can scream at a frequency of 180 decibels, which is louder than a rock concert. They are 103 to 145 cm long (ie 41 to 57 inches). This length is from the nose to the tail. The weight of a male wolf is 19 to 25 kg, while the female weighs 17-22 kg.
When do animals become man-eaters
Now many times the question arises that when does any animal become a man-eater. According to the information, it is said that when wolf, tiger and other animals get human blood in their mouth, they become addicted to it. When they get hungry, they start looking for humans instead of their other prey. It is also believed that when these animals do not get prey, they become man-eaters.
