Killing a buffalo is a risky business
But these wolves have hunted buffalo for hundreds if not thousands of years. They know what they need to do
The wolves have to attack from [behind] so they must get the hurt to run
The Buffalo know that if they stand and pace the walls they have the advantage
sometimes these standoffs can last for days
If the Buffalo strategy was foolproof there wouldn't be any wolves
But eventually the buffalo lose their nerve and decide to run for [it]
I can see how the wolves are testing the buffalo looking for a young animal or one that is struggling
During the winter the Buffa will have to break trail running through the deep snow. They tire more quickly than the wool
Scattering through the bush forces the [wolves] to split up and reduces their effectiveness
But the big alpha male is not distracted. He's got a lock on his prey
It's a yearling calf
The big male is such a huge wolf. He's able to bring this
600-pound animal to a stop all [by] himself
But the herd scattering through the bush has led one of the younger wolves into his own solo battle
He tries to grab the [Buffalo] by the front
And pays the price for this mistake
