In the 1970s, I lived in the grassland for two years. The most unforgettable animal for me is the prairie wolf, because it dominates the biological chain of the grassland. More importantly, the prairie wolf has many outstanding qualities. quality. Speaking of these, my thoughts went back to the autumn when I first arrived in the grassland...
"Look: a group of wolves! A group of wolves!" As people screamed, I raised my head and looked: a group of earth-yellow wolves. A coyote is hunting a herd of white sheep. The sheep were running, avoiding, and bleating; the wolves were chasing, biting, and making whirring sounds. The scene was very tragic. It's like a real-life animal world. The driver also stopped the car, intending for us to watch the battle.
Suddenly, with a long whistle from the shepherdess, more than a dozen fierce dogs jumped out from nowhere and rushed towards the wolves from three directions: southeast, southeast and west. The tallest and most powerful black killer dog came straight. The leading wolf of the pack rushed towards him, followed by the pack of dogs, vying to be the first to roar and pounce.
Seeing that something was wrong, the wolves ran towards Beishan. The dogs were gradually thrown away by the wolves. One alpha wolf and several huge wolves ran at the front. The alpha wolf seemed to still have a dog in its mouth. A lamb. The driver shouted: "Look, that's a wolf! As long as it bites it to death, the shepherd dog will win!"
At this time, the shepherd girl's companions also rushed to the scene from all directions on fast horses. . A battle began between humans and shepherd dogs to encircle and annihilate the prairie wolves.
The wolves fled towards Beishan at a very fast speed...
The dogs relied on the strength of the people and pursued them relentlessly. Suddenly, the alpha wolf disappeared, and only the shepherd's cry was heard: "The alpha wolf fell into the trap!"
The driver said to the educated youths in the car: "This is what the prairie people are best at using." Hound trap formation. Look, if the wolf pack is leaderless, the pack will be in chaos." He made a mistake. The wolves got angry and rushed into the dog formation with desperate efforts, knocking them over. A lot of dogs. A fierce battle between dogs and wolves immediately began on the hillside. The wolf's fangs collided, the canine teeth crisscrossed, the dust flew up, the animal hair flew, the dogs cried and the wolves howled, and the blood of the dogs and wolves gushed out from their necks. The educated youth had never seen such a brutal battle between wolves and dogs, and they were so shocked that they could not make a sound.
At this moment, I suddenly heard an old herdsman shouting: "Batu, Batu, charge!" A super big yellow dog rushed up, approaching the biggest wolf, and bit the wolf with all his strength. neck. The wolves seemed to know this super big yellow dog and had experienced the super big yellow dog's martial arts. They were so frightened that they backed away and did not dare to get close.
The dogs suddenly became enlightened. The big dogs imitated Batu's example and rushed into the wolves one by one, biting the wolves' necks. The herdsmen rushed into the encirclement with horse poles in hand and separated the wolves. The wolves were suddenly in chaos. Seeing that the situation was over, the wolves used all their strength to break out of the encirclement and fled in all directions...
After living on the grassland for a period of time, we understood that the herdsmen were Living in a fight with wolves. Herdsmen on the grassland live near wolves anytime and anywhere. During the day, they herd sheep, and there are wolves watching eagerly near the sheep. At night, when they return to the yurt, they can hear the howling of wolves at any time. When they step out of the yurt, there are wolves around the yurt. Fresh white wolf scat, with the ghostly green eyes of the wolf in the distance. Sometimes, we can also encounter injured female wolves and underage wolves. The grasslands in the 1970s were full of traces of prairie wolves...
Later, through contact with Mongolian herdsmen, I learned that the Mongolian nomads worshiped the prairie wolves very much. They claimed to be the prairie wolves' apprentices. During the long-term nomadic life of dealing with steppe wolves, I learned a lot about the character of wolves. The steppe wolf's toughness, enterprising spirit, disregard for death, and unwillingness to admit defeat inspired the Mongolian nation; the steppe wolf's unexpected victory and its clever use of climate and terrain created a Mongolian nation; Steppe wolves' cherishing of family ties has influenced the Mongolian nation. The Mongolian nation has become one of the most powerful and intelligent nations in the world. Ah, the Mongolian nation has learned a lot from steppe wolves, and these things have promoted the growth and development of the Mongolian nation...
