They're probably for those thumbnails for those shitty animal fight videos with exaggerated titles on youtube that are actually just short interactions stolen from kruger sightings and similar channels
Wolves rely on surprising/breaking nerve against bison so they go in a panic and they can pick off the weak. If they recollect themselves and hold their ground it becomes a stalemate
Yup, I was actually referencing Carthage as well. In the Battle of Zama, the Romans sounded their bugles, yelled loudly and banged their shields with their swords when confronted with the war elephants. They got so frightened they turned tail and started trampling their own Carthaginian cavalry. They’re tough animals, but animals all the same
There are usually a pack of them. The bison might be able to take out several easily but the other wolves will be attacking from behind and the flanks.
> There’s a reason elephants don’t shit the bed and run away in a panicked stampede when they’re threatened
Elephants do do that. At least when they’re by themselves. There’s records of it happening since Roman times.

Social predators > social prey. Donkeys destroy canids 1 on 1. Geese are also a great counter to predatory animals. They each live 50 years and will make sure nobody bothers the rest of your livestock.
>Donkeys
I heard that in areas with wolves, cattle ranchers will put a donkey with the herd. Because bulls are cowards but a donkey will stand and fight the wolves.

A donkey once attacked my childhood golden and my dad put a 30-30 through its chest, and damn near through its owner. The dumb part you werent expecting…
It wandered onto our property.
It's probably as simple as the fleeing emotional state evolving to be extremely overbearing. Like think how spooked horses are so frantic they can injure or kill themselves in the chaos.
The only way to overcome this would be to evolve a higher consciousness and plan against this, or evolve against the cowardly behavior which would be at this point very unlikely as the courageous individuals would be more likely to die.
This is incorrect. Large prey often work together and group up to defend young members of the herd if they're unable to outrun the predator. However, attempting to run is always the smarter and safer choice. Even small injuries in the wild are a huge risk for the animal, losing an eye, becoming crippled, or suffering from infection will often lead to an earlier death. While they might win the fight, the risk of injury isn't worth it.
It's the same reason why predators will sometimes abandon chases if the prey stands up to them, and why most territorial/mating skirmishes between predators are more posturing than combat.
The entire herd dynamic is high-statistical individual survival based on numbers. The predators might take 2 of the older or weaker members at the back while the 498 healthier ones run off and survive - thus the species as a whole has better fitness.
For whatever reason, prey animals are flighty and stupid.
every large prey animal is leagues bigger and stronger than their average predator. But the capacity for teamwork and courage are nonexistent within them.
This seems to me an intelligent choice, because how could nature work if the predators couldn't handle the prey? It would collapse and change, it would be animal warfare rather than an orderly, functioning system. Yet more proof of the divine hand's touch to creation.
It's not because of god, it's because evolution isn't smart. It's not conscious. It's random chance, genes duplicating and duplicates mutating, genes vanishing, etc, and whether or not something lucks out or is statistically likely to become numerous.
Herd animals unknowingly play a numbers game and it works. Only the old and sick fall behind and die.
Anyways
First off, all creator gods are fake. The bible is the word of god, exodus and the massacre of the innocents are the most debunked myths known to man, therefore the word of god is a lie, like everything else written down by israelites. How about all the indian faiths? Look at that shithole and tell me if even one god smiles upon them. They are constantly punished with plagues and poisons. It's the fricking origin point of leprosy and rabies. The only gods I can believe in are those who oversee a universe that is without beginning or end. These are not gods who will join you here, rather you are to take care of your immortal soul so that you might join them in enlightenment. Creator god = lying demon.
Second off, there are in fact prey that predators can't handle. Lots of prey that predators can't handle! Predators, themselves, are former prey animals that won the genetic lottery and evolved to be too big or fast or mean or smart to be eaten and then eventually began eating animals themselves. Oh, and inedible prey turn forests into sparse grasslands, hasten desertification, and create an environment of animal warfare. There is no orderly function in africa, moron. None. When you see a tiger, that's actually a shrew that got too big to eat.
In fact, YOU are an apex predator whose most recent known ancestor was a scavenger and a prey animal who would routinely get eaten by birds, cats, and wolves. it is a popular theory on Wauf that people with an innate strong dislike of the smells of these animals actually carry ancient genes from man's failed prey animal ancestors.
>In fact, YOU are an apex predator whose most recent known ancestor was a scavenger and a prey animal who would routinely get eaten by birds, cats, and wolves.
Exactly this, early hominids were literally a staple food source for sabercats like Megantereon and Dinofelis, as well as Panthers like leopards and lions. However, proper wolves didn't come into contact with humans until we began settling in Eurasia during the Pleistocene.
>It's not conscious
Every species has a collective consciousness akin to a multicellular organism that influences the direction of evolution. Mutation is only semi-random.
>First off, all creator gods are fake
This is actually the majority opinion as well as the predominant opinion among the intellectuals who actually move the west forward (ethnic ashkenazi israelites).

the catholic church dominated europe from the collapse of the roman empire and didn't progress shit, that was the renaissance in the 1400s and the enlightenment in the 1700s. the key figures of which by the way were all criticised or persecuted by the catholic church for their sin of finding things out

It's also important to note that bisons used to be predated by american lions and ancient humans, so that's probably from where they got their skittish behavior
>Run and leave the sick/elderly behind to get devoured so you can live to frick another day to make more babies >>>> foolishly standing your ground when flight is available and getting worn down by a carnivore
It's pretty simple, anon :/
Someone should post the webm of that pigger getting insta-flipped by a bison.
That's pretty simple. Couple that with a herd of bros at your back, and even bears would turn and run.
Humans and bears aren't as agile as your average gray wolf, anon. Multiply said-wolves by 8 and even healthy bison will start having issues fending them off. Bison will sometimes help young/weak/elderly members fend off predators, but it's usually a million times easier to just leave them to get eaten alive and make moar elsewhere.
They are moronic. They do not think like a predator they are not thinking how can i frick this thing up efficiently because like you say it would be pretty easy for them if they had a functioning brain
For whatever reason, prey animals are flighty and stupid.

Why do these guys run from wolves when they could easily frick em up?
water buffalo sometimes rally together and fight back against lions:
This 2bh
I'm pretty sure "kill predators on sight" is a much more promising ecological niche than " leave my calf to die so predators come back for me later"
It actually isnt. Infections and missing body parts are more costly than having sex again later. The predators also seem to be more intelligent even given the same amount of brain.
Dude they use fricking donkeys to kill hyenas in Africa. I'm pretty sure a herd of bison would be able to frick up a pack of wolves.
Elephants often defend their own, too
>t. actual fricking moron who thinks bears and lions purposefully get into deadly fights with their own kind for the lulz and epicness and nothing more
Like seriously, have a nice day for how stupid you are, you are a drain on taxpayer money and a huge waste of oxygen.
its a kind of evolutionary bind that prey animals find themselves in. in terms of the overall good of the herd, and for bison generally, it would be better if they stood and fought every time. the wolves would be much more cautious and would regularly be injured or killed, and the overall benefit would be huge.
however, in the moment of conflict, it is still better for each individual bison for them to run away than it is to band together. even though acting like a group would be better overall, the individuals are unwilling to take on the risk to themselves.
that's why eusociality in insects is such a busted trait, because it allows for groups to fully work together since individuals are more than happy to sacrifice themselves for the group.
Prey animals are pathetic and exist for carnivores to cull them and protect nature from being overrun by their numbers.
animals don’t have first aid
For some reason they run from wolves but not humans/dogs. Seen way too many videos of them charging tourists and destroying shitbulls.
Any examples?
Human https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbKKnWV4Hm0
Shitbull https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiQqScJCxpI
Wolf packs are actually a threat unlike lone pits and small groups of unarmed humans
That shitbull is dumber than a bag of bricks. Holy frick
I just want to see a herd of evil giraffes going around and stomping lions to death.
Giraffes would rule the world if they bred faster
Looks like it’s giving the lion a stressful massage
It's photoshopped, there is a huge number of photoshopped giraffes vs lions pics online
What's the point of making these images?
Nobody knows

Wolves rely on surprising/breaking nerve against bison so they go in a panic and they can pick off the weak. If they recollect themselves and hold their ground it becomes a stalemate
They're slower and wolves can get quick bites in which will cause them to bleed out eventually
Despite my weight category being several thousand leages above, I'd prefer not to pick a fight with a bee
Let alone a swarm

Because they’re dumb as frick. There’s a reason elephants don’t shit the bed and run away in a panicked stampede when they’re threatened

I mean I guess, but even then juvenile elephants are prone to getting nervous, and some adult ones from time to time
Every single social animal, icluding humans, does that

Why do humans run from hornets when they could easily frick them up? It's not good to be in pain.
Nobody runs from hornets except absolute pussies.
Your attempts to look tough just make you come off as a moron.

the “”””enlightenment”””” did no such thing
Cattle are selfish and lack will at the same time. The term is an insult for a reason.
Their behavior is centered around sacrificing their brethren so they and their direct spawn can live.
For the same reason they don't kill and eat other animals even though they can, because they're naturally risk averse.
The wolves go after the babies
For whatever reason, prey animals are flighty and stupid.

... and saberteeth, and scimitar cats, and dire wolves, and short-faced bears

Because they aren’t invincible or made of steel. Getting scratched and bitten up is grounds for infection
so running towards the wolves increases the chance of getting lacerated, and injury increases the likelihood of death
Animals don't like to be injured and if they get caught alone, they're in trouble. Best to run wildly in a group.
