The tigers, brown bears and wolves we are going to talk about today are the top of the natural food chain and the top predators. Among them, tigers and brown bears are stronger than wolves. The strength between the tiger and the brown bear can be said to be equal. In the northeast of China, the Northeast Tiger, the largest tiger in the world, often fights with brown bears living here. Judging from the current statistics,
Moreover, the brown bear is facing the largest tiger in the world, while the brown bear faced by the Northeast Tiger can only rank second or third among the bears, so generally speaking, the fighting capacity of the brown bear is by no means weaker than that of the tiger, but the wolf's attitude towards these two top predators is completely different. From the perspective of regional competition, at present, humans have found a large number of records of tigers killing wolves, but there has never been a record of brown bears killing wolves.
In terms of survival advantages, in the northeast of China, the Siberian tiger can completely reduce the living space of wolves, while in North America, brown bears can't do it at all. Some wolves even attacked brown bear cubs, but no wolves dared to attack tiger cubs. Why? You know, tigers are as powerful as brown bears. Why are wolves afraid of tigers and not brown bears?
First of all, we should know that in the places where wolves get along with tigers and brown bears all over the world, the types of wolves are often different. For example, in the northeast of China, the tiger here is the largest Siberian tiger in the world, and the wolves here are smaller wolves, which are often solitary wolves. Even if they gather together, there will be no more than five wolves.
In North America, the situation is completely different, because the wolf encountered by the brown bear is the largest gray wolf in North America in the world, and the group is stronger. More than 10 often gather together, and the average weight of individuals reaches 40 kg. Under such circumstances, it is often difficult for a brown bear to deal with a group of wolves, so brown bears generally do not prey on wolves, but can rob them of food.
Secondly, the habitats of brown bears and tigers are completely different, which is actually the main reason why they encounter different wolves. Tigers often live in the jungle, and the overall living environment is relatively narrow. Wolves in the jungle are often solitary wolves and rarely gather together. Moreover, the tiger itself is a pure carnivore, and it is normal to feed on some lone wolves.
But brown bears are different. Brown bears often live in the wilderness, such places are often very open, while wolves live in the wilderness, and they often flock. Moreover, brown bears are not pure carnivores, and brown bears belong to omnivores. In this case, brown bears generally don't provoke wolves with strong fighting capacity unless food is extremely scarce.
Finally, there is racial advantage. Strictly speaking, as far as individuals are concerned, cats are often better than dogs. Dogs can't compare with cats in speed and predation ability. Therefore, it is inevitable that tigers are better than wolves, because wolves are proud of their speed and attack power. In front of the tiger, there is no advantage. Of course, if dogs live in groups,
For brown bears, their advantages often lie in their weight and sharp claws and teeth. Speed is the biggest shortcoming of bears, which means that brown bears can't keep up with wolves in fighting. On this premise, wolves can often suppress bears in turn.
Of course, in a word, from the perspective of food chain, tigers and brown bears are at the top of the food chain, while wolves can only be at the bottom, which is determined by their comprehensive quality!
