Ranking 10 Of The Deadliest Wild Canines From Least Deadly To Deadliest

[@DrewWithington]

The red foxes in my urban ecosystem have adapted to exist on discarded junk food (vulpes vulpes macdonaldi and vulpes vulpes kfci).

[@AnimalsVehiclesAndMore]

When you mentioned Coyotes being considered pests, they are actually known to outcompete smaller canids such as the Gray Fox. However, Coyotes, Gray Foxes, and Red Foxes are often found in the same habitats and geographical areas.

Mane wolves are only in South America

[@shelbyrice1014]

In North America wolves have hardly attacked humans but there have been many attacks in Europe and India

[@samrizzardi2213]

European/Indian wolves historically were in closer proximity to humans due to the availability of livestock (sometimes the only food source for them). In North America, there wasn't that reason for wolves to approach human settlements (prior to European colonisation obviously)

[@teejayman215]

It's because in north America and anywhere Europeans went to, the predators were indiscriminately wiped out. Wolves are now just in corners of their native range. Comparatively, it's incredible that a country with the population such as India has kept its Tigers, Lions, Leopards, Bears, Wholesome, wolves, snow leopards etc alive while existing as a civilization for 5000+ years

FINALLy!!!!!!!!!!!! Tsuki is back

[@alyssafigliano3994]

This was a great list and I agree with most of the placements, however I would switch Gray Wolves and Painted Dogs. The fact that they live in such large packs (even larger than many wolf packs), have such a high hunting success rate, and are intelligent enough to *vote* on where and when to hunt puts them over the top.

[@Vexinsight]

Technically, the wolf is more deadly. There are more chances of a pack of wolves attacking and devouring you than waiting for a pack of wild dogs to do so.

[@alyssafigliano3994]

@@Vexinsight I mean that's just a numbers game isn't it? Wolves range all over the northern hemisphere in many, many countries and therefore come into more contact with humans. Painted dogs only live in small pockets or African bush and their global population is far smaller. You're more likely to be attacked by wolves because there are simply more wolves in more places.

[@chazallen8969]

@@alyssafigliano3994 Wolf attacks in the USA is very very rare almost never predatory usually due to rabies but overall wolf packs would decimate the painted dogs at least the grey wolfs can they are much bigger much stronger stamina probably the same a grey wolf while rare can solo a full grown moose by tiring it out and a grey could easily solo 2-3 painted dogs so unless the dogs have a huge numbers advantage the grey wins easily

[@hellas_crater]

@QenaitheCustodianGuard Exact timing is debated - some think as early as 6500 years ago, others think between 4000 & 5000. And there's also debate about exactly who brought it - the latest wave of aboriginal migrants into the northwest (which would support the earlier date), or possibly Asian seafarers & traders who had dogs on their boats & would sit out cyclone season by staying with aboriginal groups on the north coast. (It's unlikely to be the latter, as the timing doesn't match up with other evidence).

[@jeroenmeester9528]

I don't think they should necessarily be in a different order, but though I do understand the commission I do believe that Canis Familiaris should have been included, not because they could be great hunters but because out of all canids they do kill the most humans, even if that isn't in scale with their population.

Tbh, I fully expected dogs to be number 1, since feral dogs kill way more humans than all other canids combined. But grey wolf is understandable choice as well.

[@TsukiCove]

True but i was mostly focusing on wild canids and i know feral dogs are technically wild but they didn't really fit

[@Azureblue25]

True, although dogs & gray wolves are technically the same species, so in a way, dogs already reached the number 1 spot.

I've been with Grey wolves in an enclosure in the Midwest. I won't name it because I don't want to get the place in trouble. I was there extremely early and offered to help with moving the wheelbarrow full of food to the wolf enclosure. When the woman asked if I'd like to enter to meet the wolves I eagerly agreed. I knew something about Alpha male behavior and kept deference to him. I never made eye contact, keeping my head down. The other wolves came to me and greeted me, giving me little chews on my forearms and wrists just as my German Shepherd always did. The visit ended as feeding time began. It was definitely time to leave as bones were crunching in their food. Grey wolves are nothing to mess with, they're amazing predators and beautiful animals.

[@paulmjolsness6482]

I was surprised that you made no mention of the Red Wolf.

[@CrimsonReapa]

there so rare i wouldn't be surprised if he has never heard of them before (there closets relative is the grey wolf and it is believed they may descend from a subspecies of grey wolf that branched off from other grey wolves hundreds of thousands if not millions of years ago but they are so genetical distinct that they are infact there own species separate from the grey wolf)

Could you one day do a video ranking all human species.

[@edwardpincus]

Thanks, great and informative video. I live with scads of coyotes here in the high desert of northern New Mexico, USA. If they’re seen during the day that’s rare and they are very skittery, dashing off if they get a glance of a human. At night, though, they are bold and aggressive, though not toward humans. Around here cats and smaller dogs must be kept in house or locked up at night. If pets not protected at night they will not last long, as the coyotes take them.

Dholes should definitely rank above dingoes. Dholes absolutely dominate Indian grey wolves and leopards. They are the most successful wild canids in the world along with the African wild dogs. The only animals that truly scare dholes are tigers and feral dog packs. There have been no documented dhole attacks on humans so far.

[@blackie1of4]

In north America.. the grey wolves are the hardest canines to track down! Extremely elusive and gone before you'd get close enough to be considered a threat! Coyotes however.. are abundant in many areas and do very well adapting around civilization! Both of them will get very close to you if you are walking your dog/dogs in their area! I've seen some videos.. mostly Coyotes acting playful.. of course with bad intentions! That being said.. they are not interested in people 😊 Thanks for putting this together 😊

[@anniehill9909]

Very interesting: I hadn't really heard about several of these canids. What beautiful animals they are compared with some of our domesticated breeds! Dingoes are a disaster in Australia - yet another human-induced catastrophe - but on the other hand, if they were allowed to roam freely, they would probably do something to control the foxes and cats. It's interesting to see what animals still live in Tasmania, where dingoes have never been introduced, and that the thylacine and Tasmanian devil flourished there until Europeans came along. A very strong argument that dingoes wiped them out!

[@harrisonjames4020]

I’m pretty sure African painted dogs are also the most successful mammalian predators in terms of hunt success rates (I thinks it’s like around 60% which is absurd for a predator unless your a dragonfly)

[@FatFrankie42]

Carolina dog, as in my home state's weird-a$$ interpretation of hot dog? I've lived in NC my whole life & have always thought they were disgusting. In elementary school, you had to request one without coleslaw because otherwise, the lunchroom hot dogs automatically came topped with it. People in my home state put coleslaw on everything (from barbecue to burgers), so of course they started putting it on hot dogs, too. Yuck!!🤢

But foxes are getting pretty large there as the 30 kg fox weighed more than the largest verified European badger of 27.2 kg. foxes there seem to be the acting top-predators in the uk. Though due to their small size they are limited to what they can do but are known to kill cats and even adult roe deer so it will be interesting to see if they can get even larger.
