Europe’s
largest land animal, the bison, is thought to be relatively unthreatened by
predators, but footage from Białowieża Primaeval Forest in Poland shows it does
face attacks from wolves.
Wolves are
making a comeback in many parts of Europe
Deep in the Polish wilderness, a camera trap has captured a pack of wolves hunting down a juvenile bison.
The rare
footage suggests that in Europe, bison might be on the menu for wolves more
commonly than previously thought.
“My mind
was blown,” says Robin Wijnands at the Polish Academy of Sciences. “I was
really surprised because I really didn’t expect wolves to hunt bison,
especially when there are so many other prey available in the forest.”
These attacks happened after the first humans – Adam and Eve
- rebelled after what God said in
Genesis 3 about the fall of man. Animals also begin to kill each other.
