For those who are curious, the two species of animals featured here are a boreal caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) and an arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos). This scene takes place in northern Canada, specifically, in a large region called the Barren Grounds or also, the Barren Lands.

I was impressed, I didn’t think foxes were big enough to take on caribou (even calves). Then the video started and the world fell back into place with wolves hunting caribou. Edit: when this comment was made, the KZbin title incorrectly identified the canid as a fox. Attenborough had it right the whole time, but their KZbin team goofed on the title with “Arctic fox hunts caribou calf”. I am happy they corrected it.

The wolf is faster but the calf has stamina? Somebody should have explained what stamina is to Attenborough. The calf has endurance the wolf has stamina. Stamina is your maxing yourself out like sprinting for as long as you can, endurance is your jogging like putting medium or low effort for as long as you can.

[@HeronPoint2021]

I saw Never Cry Wolf on the big screen decades ago, and it caught the whole Canadian barren lands and the issues with ungulate migrations and whether the wolf was such a horror. Another horror was watching the star eating lemming kabobs to prove they were a complete meal, for both man and wolf!! (lots of them, so no shortage expected real soon).
