Any animal counts as long as they're a maneater. No cruelty intended.

Credited with at least 20 human deaths, the leopard was killed on top of its last victim, a child from Somnapur village in the Seoni district, India

Many hunters and a lot of experts made us remark that only the tail and the posterior of this animal is of a wolf. Its head is monstrous; its eyes have a particular membrane that can conceal the eye-socket. Its neck is covered with thick reddish hairs, crossed with some black stripes; it has a white mark shaped as a heart on its breast. Its legs have 4 fingers with longer nails then wolves. They are thick, especially the front legs, and their colour is the one of a deer. This was remarkable because all hunters said they had never seen a wolf with such colours. Some also noticed its ribs did not look like the ones of a wolf, therefore this animal could turn around more easily than a wolf that has sidelong ribs. “ - "Mr de la Mothe examined the Beast. He noticed the head was monstrous, square, larger and longer than on ordinary wolf, the snout was a little bit more obtuse, ears were large, pointed and perched, eyes were black with a very particular prominent membrane, it was an extension of the inferior muscles of the eye. These membranes helped to conceal as required the two orbits, sliding under the eyelids. The opening of the mouth was very large, the incisor similar to the one of a dog, the teeth are larger, tight and irregular, the neck very large and short, filled with shaggy hair, extremely long and bushy and bearing a transverse black stripe until the shoulders; the posterior looks as the one of a wolf, except it is larger, the front legs are shorter than the hind legs, thinner than the legs of a wolf and covered by a brownish, short and smooth hair, coloured like a deer, the hair of the body is thick and long, greyish, black-spotted. The animal wore a large white stain, perfectly shaped as a heart on its breast."

"It stands to reason, then, that massive, wolfen creatures should be glimpsed or even bagged by hunters now and then. That is exactly what happened to a deer hunter named Eastman around noon on November 18, 1935, on the third day of deer hunting season. Eastman was hunting near Flint around Rhody Creek Trail, and despite good weather and a great layer of tracking snow, there were absolutely no deer to be seen. Eastman soon found out why. He suddenly heard what sounded like “horses running,” and turned to see a massive timber wolf at a dead run. Eastman ended up shooting a wolf rather than a deer that day. He gutted it and dragged it into town to have it weighed and measured; it was 182 pounds even after gutting, and measured seven feet, 11 inches tall when measured hanging vertically. The creature stood 39 inches at the shoulder! It was considered such a magnificent specimen that the carcass was sent to the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh where it was mounted and displayed. The entire story of the great Flint Wolf was told in the Great Lakes Pilot, Vol. 3, No. 6, 2005" http://www.flintexpats.com/2009/01/big-bad-wolf.html Edited by kingkazma, Sep 26 2014, 12:56 AM.

Maybe the story wasn't very legit, as the largest authenticated recorded individual I was able to find was a 82 kg wolf shot in russia. Plus the men are standing a good distance behind the wolf making it look larger than it really is.. Here's a 65 kg wolf/ovcharka mix being tested against a top notch working ovcharka (both are no older thread 14mnth and will easily reach 80 kg as fully grown adults: Photos deleted, I want to make sure they're allowed before I post them back. This isn't a bloody fight, these animals are merely wrestling and the loser is pulled out before any real damage happens.. They're expensive and the breeders wouldn't risk losing them.. In any case, if the above photos violate forum rules (which is the last thing I want to do) please delete them.. Edited by Molosser, Sep 26 2014, 03:00 AM.

This one writes itself. True. Though I estimate that wolf (at most) 135-140 pounds. More likely 129-130 pounds. crxgalaxy Sep 26 2014, 02:10 AM kingkazma Sep 26 2014, 12:37 AM Dayuuuumm!

I can re-post them if taipan says they're ok anyway.. Btw see how agile and robust both animals are? Now you can guess why I prefer primitive LGDs.. These canids can flatten a eastern coyote pack and give even a large northern wolf a run for its money Edited by Molosser, Sep 26 2014, 03:05 AM.

Apex Predator Posts: 6,207 Group: Members Member #1,971 Joined: Dec 11, 2013	Currently I feel at parity all dogs are outmatched by a wolf. However, a proto dog vs an LGD would be interesting. Of course they were only 77-90 pounds, but the bite was overwhelming.

Ursids, Canids, and amphycionids Posts: 3,625 Group: Members Member #1,932 Joined: Dec 1, 2013	Well your feeling is wrong, some dogs can defeat wolves and/or fight them to a stalemate and eventually scare them away as evidenced by an account I posted of a rottweiler pushing back 2 hungry wolves. Plus both of the dogs in my photos are larger than most wolves, way more robust, and their hide is more protective.. They definitely can kill even a large wolf. I think you noticed the pure ovcharka was dominating the wolf hybrid.

It's just not that funny. crxgalaxy Sep 26 2014, 04:46 AM Well your feeling is wrong, some dogs can defeat wolves and/or fight them to a stalemate and eventually scare them away as evidenced by an account I posted of a rottweiler pushing back 2 hungry wolves.

I think you noticed the pure ovcharka was dominating the wolf hybrid. That wasn't an account, it was a sensationalized news report. At parity, the wolf would split the dogs' skull. And frankly, the two dogs fighting weren't overly impressive. It looked like it took a short time for the dogs to get tired, it seems like mixing in ovarchka ruined the wolf's stamina and bite.
