@Joe Marano as much as I love Lions and a pride of them would be scary... I think finding yourself in front of a lone hungry Tiger would be worse 😰. So much more ferocious and powerful, and you can write off Climbing a tree off the escape list lol. At least if there's a really really big tree there's a good change the Lions wont be able to climb it all the way up (I know they climb too but they aren't like cheetahs or Tigers that actually are very good climbers.) At least a very tall one or one with many thick branches so you can zig zag in the branches hopefully for the lions to fall or give up.

[@dostagirl9551]

Watching the musk ox coordinating their efforts at protecting the calves was impressive. As the herd ran to gain distance a musk ox would break off to confront the wolves and after three or four of them used the tactic, the herd would stop and guard the young as they waited for the other to rejoin them. Amazing strategy, especially compared to other herd animals which just scatter and take the loss.

[@RD1R]

They literally peel'd lol. They absolutely let the biggest and baddest to solo the wolves at the base of the defensive chain. It was impressively coordinated!

[@harry490]

Love how the muskox all work together instead of most herbivores which run and leave each other behind when being attacked, like antelope

[@confidential5743]

Their time to maturity and small herd numbers makes leaving young behind pretty impractical. I’m sure they used too, and the ones that left others behind were weened out by natural selection

[@DinmaSalitzey]

Because antelope are not built for fighting back? Trying to confront the predator would just be suicidal.

[@arkhamar7121]

Yes, quite common among bovines...which also included the African Cape Buffalo, American Bison, and Asian Water Buffalo.

the Muskox had pretty top notch tactical movements, where the bull would charge / scare to make space while the rest of the herd scuffle upward, and repeat. They covered their young in the flank so well the wolf never had a chance to get near at all

[@PRJobTips]

Saw the same scene with a herd of muskoxen when I worked one summer on Ellesmere island in 1975. We were in a geological survey camp a couple of miles from Eureka weather station. The helicopter pilot dropped the helicopter engineer and I off for a hike about 10 miles north of camp. We came over a rise and spooked the muskoxen. At first, they froze trying to understand what they saw and if we were a threat, and then got nervous and backed into a circle to protect themselves. Like the cameraman here, we were nervous because we knew how fast they can run. It was a standoff for a few minutes until they turned and ran in the opposite direction. A very memorable hike and a day in the far North.

Really disappointing when you are watching a chase in which wolves are stalking a herd that is trying to protect their young, and it culminates with the cameraman focusing on the herd getting away, but the 3 calves are gone, and no explanation of what happened to them. That's wildlife footage failure!

[@Deykhan]

I know this is a late reply, but at the end the "herd" we saw was only a smaller portion of the full herd. It was just the adults that were giving the rest cover while they ran, then it was their time to run too. The calves are with the rest of the adults and while we don't get to see that, I doubt the 3 wolves would have taken down 4+ adults and 3 calves!
