"When Wolves Attack: A Close Call in the Wild"

Help Alberta wild horses

[@ianspingle8865]

This is why you need a lot of stallions in that country, protection from all the predators. An old timer once said that when we had lots of wild horses there were lots of deer, when the wolves came the deer ran to the horses for safety.

[@catmansma]

It is so sad and sickening that those that are supposed to watch over the land, will take out the horses...especially stallions. I've hear it said that it is for their own good. They say such ridiculous stupid reasons, none of which is true. They have no idea what horses do. They are the care keepers of the land. Yes, some get killed or die in the wild, but that's the wild. And they left wild. Not in a corral ready to be shipped overseas. It's just not right. Im in the States, here we have the BLM. They give every reason and excuse of why the should take them. People got mad so now they put these collars on the mares. They could get caught.... I wish at times that I didn't love animals so much. But, I do know I love these folks that watch out for them, even though I don't know them. I have a lot of respect for them.

Remember these horses are not native they are feral

It appears that the light brown horse is walking with a limp. You’d think the wolves were going for that one but got a rude awakening.

[@laurapope4715]

I noticed the same thing. She is very lame on one hind. I agree it's likely the wolves went for her. Lucky the stallion wasn't having that 😮

[@glengillis7775]

​@laurapope4715 wolves won't give up on that horse. Be after it. Just saying. That's nature

[@randallmarsh1187]

She also looks very skinny.

I am grateful for your videos, its like (mini) National geographic lessons!....

This was amazing! thank you for sharing with all of us.

[@MadddyDawn]

Wow! Your videos speak volumes.

[@suzystone244]

Fantastic footage.

[@notsosilentmajority1]

If the wolves had been starving, it may have been a very different scenario. The stallion can definitely hold his own but 7 wolves can hold their own as well. Beautiful video, the quality is outstanding. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@darylwithers3713]

Could be wrong but i think 8 wolves

[@notsosilentmajority1]

@@darylwithers3713 I just went by what the video said. The narrator said (0:50) that there were 7 wolves in this pack. I never counted, I just went by what he said. Either way, it's a lot of wolves for one stallion.

Smart wolves. Easier prey.

[@valsummers5330]

That was amazing! My older gelding who previously had been a dude horse and turned out with the rest of the string in the winter in the cariboo, surprised me one morning Looked out the kitchen window to see Concho charging up the hill hot on the tail of a coyote He was having none of that!

Keep up the amazing videos

[@Gfthce3426]

A friend of ours in Tucson AZ was riding a BLM wild horse up in the Catalina Mts with some friends . The Wildies reared up and dump her off ' took off a couple hundred yards attacked a Mountain Lion and killed it then came back to continue thier ride .

[@Randomman-o8g]

Poor cougar imagine being in your home and some random horse comes out of nowhere and kills you

[@darlenemckay265]

Wow, thank God for that brave stallion!

[@sandrakarls8466]

I held my breath!! That was so exciting!!

[@paulinedennis1632]

Leaving out salt licks great idea. Wolves think so too

[@tylergilson4749]

I think it’s best idea to see predators and prey animals interact

[@idaho2ndgens240]

Had three wolves come in on me during archery season, the first went by me at 20 feet. Never know what they are going to do.

[@wedigging_dumpster]

Crazy to think that interactions like this betwen feral horses and wolves are one of the closest things we have to looking straight at Pleistocene North America. At one point in earth's history this scene would've played out between Dire wolves (Aenocyon Dirus) and Western Horses (Equus Occidentalis).

[@marketwizard1977]

That stallion was way to confident for the wolves liking

[@mysteroads5598]

The wolves seem like they weren't trying very hard at all. 😅

[@Kim-lc3fv]

that's kind of like with Cape buffalo and lions in southern Africa: the bulls often can chase the lions away, especially if their herd is large enough.

[@VoctorMartinez]

[@jenisekennedy8156]

I noticed the light colored mare has a limp. That was probably the target

[@maryb1342]

That mare has an injured leg

[@SharonGeorge-gu8lz]

A full-grown horse has never been an easy mark for any predator because they can kill with both front and hind legs plus do serious damage when they bite. Plus, they can also outrun most predators.

[@lesterstanden2435]

Hanging out chilling with the wolves. I wonder if we can do that too? I'll dress as a horse.

[@femalecrusader8389]

That second mare is limping and thin.

[@lightwarriornewearth8882]

I hope the leg of the mare gets better.! ❤

[@CarolynHack-g9i]

Are these the seven cubs?

Fabulous! Why is the chestnut filly so thin? thankyou.

[@timpohlman3508]

Very good video

[@user-pc2ve3sl8u]

Can the horses be placed on a protective basis so that killing their numbers would be illegal?

[@eee-t1r]

No because they are invasive

[@Randomman-o8g]

They aren't native

[@dablaugntximntxub2318]

you should just release all the film footage of the trail cam so people can see regardless if it's boring... we like to see what goes on at night etc.. i also think, you would have more supporter and viewers from showing video more than these 1-3 minutes videos..

[@katedaphne4495]

People migt also end up getting bored or annoyed snd miss out on the real good stuff, and important updates

[@fburton8]

I imagine that would be challenging technically. It was mentioned in another video that there are 25k-30k video clips to review after the 70 trail camera cards are collected, then multiply that by how often the cards are picked up. That will amount to many many gigabytes of data.

[@bevfrench3496]

I think some of these wolves were too young.....next year might be a different story.

[@catmansma]

If humans left wildlife alone, it would be balanced and care for itself. The lies they tell. They say that they have to take or shoot the horses so they don't suffer-that is the most stupid thing. It's sad when they lose their life to a predator, but that's wildlife. It's horrible when they lose their life to humans. Thank you for all that you do. I wish so much that if other everywhere would do the same. Not interfer but keep an eye for those they can help. I have a question...Do you give any video to universities ..or do they ask for any. They could learn so much and teach others how to handle them when needed and also show how the wild thrives. We need really good equine veternarians. And farriers. That do out of love and take care of all the others. Even the wolves. Thank you always for what you all do

[@FLORIDIANMILLIONAIRE]

When wolves attack stallions nothing happens

[@leavrhovec4992]

The light chestnut/red dun mare seems to be in very poor condition...very skiny, ribs and hip bones protruding and when she walks at the end I can see her limping. I don't know how old that mare is, if she is older her condition makes sense, but as horrible as it sounds I'd rather a predator takes her down than to have her suffering from hip pain, possibly broken pelvis. Not to mention the stallion trying to breed her on top of that...poor thing. I see that this is footage from summer of 2023, did the mare even make it into this year?

[@AgentTrust]

[@ashtonsawesomeaussieanimal2133]

Whys the chesnut lame? Poor thing.. so thin aswell

[@darylwithers3713]

Could be wrong but I count 8

[@colmlynch8429]

8 wolves

[@anne-grethemichaelsen5789]

Thank you for this video! Yes there must be more stallions out there to protect the herds from predators! Therefore, horses must be protected during springtime when foals are born and throughout the summer, so that the little foals will survive, instead of being wolf-food. There must be new generations of both more stallions and mares. Best regards from 🇳🇴

[@Pumpkin-b4e]

The sorrel mare's left hind hok or hoove is injured. Can your veterinarian check her over that's a serious limp. Please

[@leavrhovec4992]

Sorry to say, but this is footage from last year. That mare is almost certainly dead. The injury looks to be way more than just hoof or hock, her hip is completely dropping, which suggests a pelvic injury. Very painful and in the wilderness such as this with so many predators, that means certain death.

[@bpdp379]

Did you catch that these are feral invasive animals?

[@leanneadams2549]

Seems so unfair! There’s like 7 of them ! Good for that stallion !

[@wizardoflolz5626]

the white mark on horse's head is sexual dimorphism? or just by chance both males have a small spot while the female a line?

[@jessepitt]

Just coincidence

[@eee-t1r]

There is no sexual dimorphism. The marking is random
