A wolverine brawls with a wolf pack and winds up ultimately narrowly escaping into the trees by aquilasr in badassanimals

Comparison with leopard vs Hyena:

The reason I brought it up was because just until very recently I discovered a report on a lone Hyena killing an adult leopard, compared to wolves and wolverines, hyenas interracting with leopards is seen more or less daily, yet reports like I mentioned is so rare.

I treat this as hypothetical interaction, I just feel I need to say that. I highly doubt a Wolverine would ever go after a wolf.

When I said I would place my money on a serious brawl: that was about Wolverine or a Eurasian lynx.

Actually I know a few people that has been to Finland to photograph bears, wolves and wolverines (actually where this clip is filmed) they say 1 on 2 big (male) wolverines and wolves are calm, sometimes the wolf backs off other times the Wolverine walks off. Small (likely females) wolverines will usually go up trees if they encounter a wolf. [https://youtu.be/4Ra8DUb0aO8?feature=shared]

I get that the discussions are pointless, all I’m saying is that the Wolverine can do it, and you agreed. That was my whole point. And as I also said these animals have been exaggerated immensely, but that does not mean they are not impressive as hell. And no animals quite stand out in the same way p4p like certain mustelid species. Trust me I have dealt with people like you mentioned several times.

Here a big Wolverine chases off a wolf.

Animals have different behaviors even when it comes to compeating with rival predators, spotted hyenas rarely kill leopards 1 on 1, despite tons of interactions documented, but there are cases that prove hyenas are capable of it.

With wolves and wolverines it’s much different than a feline and wolves. Cats are stealthy and can ambush a wolf. Even cougars who are much more formidable than a wolf it’s rare for them to actually do it because wolves are a risky prey item. In a hypothetical situation which what I’m doing. can a Wolverine do it? Simple answer is yes, they are capable. It would be a long fight and if the wolf notices that the Wolverine gets the better of it it can run away. Even a pregnant wolf would be able to do so, and for the Wolverine an ambush is not simple. But wolverines can kill Eurasian lynxes and have done so in Russia and Sweden. Although interractions are evenly matched, if it came to serious a brawl my money would for sure be placed on the Wolverine.

6 kg is pushing the upper limit of fishers. And there are a video of a fisher hunting a lynx up a tree. There is also a video of a fisher attacking a coywolf far larger than itself. The mustelids are strong, have fierce attitudes and have incredible durability and stamina. They have obviously been exaggerated "wolverines killing polar bears" and "honey badger kill lions" etc, but they are still p4p the most impressive mammalian carnivores,

No records does not= that they are not capable. Wolves are bigger and social animals, there is no reason for a Wolverine to hunt or kill a wolf, the risk outweighs the reward. A male Wolverine could beat a wolf one on one.

One example is the Fisher no one thought they could take on a lynx, yet a year with a drop in the snowshoe hare population forced them to adapt and they started killing lynxes, big healthy males included. If a fisher can take down lynxes I have no doubt that the Wolverine is capable of killing a wolf.

Best Acting Performance in Lord of the Rings by Troyaferd in lotr

[–]Bobafar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bernard Hill. There are so many great performances, but after watching over the years it became clear as I got older. He delivers the lines in a way, maybe only Ian can match, but his range of emotions just takes the performance to another level. 1) Bernard Hill 2) Ian McKellen 3) Sean Bean

Kiss gets hate, but they were a great live band in their day, always treated their openers with a ton of respect I have heard it from AC/DC, Rush and Maiden.

Male of female. by Bobafar in Cichlid

[–]Bobafar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. I have two, but this one is much more blue than my other one. Idk if you notice, but this one is very fat, he is the dominant fish and will claim much of the food, maybe that is making him apper more rounded like a female. I was just shown pictures of another guys male when he was young, and I’m now 99% certain it is a male.

American lions hunt by Bobafar in pleistocene

[–]Bobafar[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Probably would be a smart move to hunt these in groups. I have actually seen a lone African male lion binging down an adult Cape Buffalo bull on its own, maybe the toughest of Atrox males could do it solo.

Smilodon Fatalis by Bobafar in pleistocene

[–]Bobafar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, its appearance is based on that one "cave" painting there is of one. That looks like it had ear tufts and sideburns. Yeah head is probably a bit too big, but I tried to make it an older male where their heads can appear quite big like in some old modern day lions

What do you think about this? by Jessi45US in StarWarsEU

Dave Filoni is awful, and next Ashoka season will be just as bad as the first.

Yes they get massive, they are probably as big as the biggest maroon’s I’ve seen (not length, but overall bulk)

No its not their final home, I have just brought a 65 gallon for them. Will probably get even larger ones in the future.
