The wolf is a predatory mammal related tothe dog family. This animal is widely spread on the planet. Almost every climatic zone is inhabited by species of these mammals. And the kinds of wolves just depend on where they live.
For example, in the Arctic you can meet the Arcticwolf, in the tundra - tundra, and in the steppes - steppe. In addition to these species, coyotes, jackals, Asian wolf, Arabian, eastern, earthy (Mexican), Italian, Indian, Iraqi, Austro-Hungarian, red, New Guinea singing dog and dingo dog are among the species of wolves. The last two species are feral dogs, and dingo is a secondarily feral dog. Everyone knows a domestic dog is a direct descendant of a wolf, therefore it is considered as its subspecies.
The rarest kind of wolf in dangerdisappearance is a red wolf, or a mountain wolf. This mammal is distributed in the territory from the Tien Shan and Altai to the Malay Archipelago, the tip of Hindustan and Indochina. Most of the range is located in Central and South Asia, mainly in the mountainous forest area.
In order to more clearly imagine this handsome man, a detailed description of the red wolf should be compiled.
It is a fairly large predator with a body length of 76up to 110 cm and weight from 17 to 21 kg, with a long hanging tail from 45 to 50 cm, reaching almost to the ground. The red wolf has large standing, slightly rounded above, ears, located high on the head. The whole face of the animal combines features of a fox, a dog, a jackal and a wolf of Russian gray. Its muzzle is a little shortened and pointed, which brings it closer to the fox.
A distinctive feature of this species isits unusual red color, which varies among individuals depending on which part of the range the animal lives in. The tip of the tail is a red wolf.
Hunt these predators mainly in the afternoon by flocks of 5up to 12 individuals, which include representatives of several generations. Relations between members of the pack are non-aggressive. It is also noted that males take an active part in the upbringing of offspring. It should also be noted that the red wolf, like many other types of wolves, is monogamous - once choosing a girlfriend for life, he remains true to her.
Settle these predators prefer in the crevicesmountains or in the gorges of rocks, avoiding open plain terrain. Although during the hunt the beast may appear in the steppes, in the forest-steppe and even in the bare desert. But interestingly, the red wolf hunts only wild animals, never attacking domestic cattle! And the meat he feeds only in the winter season, eating in summer only plants.
The way of hunting a red wolfroe deer, antelope and deer from the methods of all other species. After all, most wolves rush to the prey, grabbing her by the throat. The same predator attacks the chosen victim from behind. Two or three wolves are literally two minutes to kill a large deer weighing half a centner.
If necessary, a large school can defeatbull (gaura), tiger or leopard. Although in real life, these predators will not fight just for the sake of war, but there are times when, for example, the hungry tiger decides to take away from the wolves, like smaller and weaker animals, their honestly earned prey. Already here the flock will not let anyone descend!
"Red Dogs" - as Rudyard Kipling called it in hisa collection of short stories The Second Book of the Jungle by Red Wolves. Cruel, dangerous for all animals inhabiting the jungle, predators in the plot of the tale are afraid even of the tiger Sherhan and the elephant Hathi. In the animated film, based on the plot of Kipling's book, a terrible, brutal battle between a pack of red wolves and jungle dwellers is shown.
