Both animals look very fresh. I'm the kind of idiot that would just accept it at face value but when you say that I can see some pretty significant problems that support your theory. The wolf does indeed look very fresh, not like something that was stuck dead on the antlers of a caribou long enough to exhaust it to death. Also it is bleeding profusely from a deep wound right behind the shoulder, exactly where a hunter would shoot it and not where any antler prong appears to have punctured. The wolf even looks more fresh than the caribou. So many things wrong with this picture if one is to believe these animals killed each other naturally.

Rams only attack with single hits, bucks will lock up and begin trying to push and overpower one another. The ram looked pretty bulky, but clearly didn't have the strength of the deer. It would only win if it got a direct hit on the bucks skull before they engaged. I'm not sure I agree with your analysis. I dont think the buck is necessarily stronger, I think the ram got hurt badly by the antlers on its initial clash and immediately wanted out, sensing this fact the buck pushed its advantage. Antlers are brutal compared to horns, much heavier and much sharper. Pure solid bone. I believe this was the difference, the ram was painfully stabbed in multiple spots when it rammed the deer. If the two were having a pure head butting contest with equal horns (hypothetically of course) the ram would almost certainly win. Possibly breaking the deer's neck and fracturing its relatively delicate skull. But alas, the buck has antlers (at least sometimes) which are excellent defense from such an assault, catching the assailant and impaling them before they can reach the actual head.

And rams are built for high impact hits, not prolonged pushing and fighting. So naturally I believe they would have a definite overall strength edge over a ram. But yes I of course a rams skull is far more powerful, and (hypothetically) removing the antlers and horns a direct hit from a ram could fracture a bucks skull. But if the ram didn't get a chance to back up to prepare the charge, it would certainly get knocked about by the buck. Rams and sheep are actually weaker then you would think them to be, in terms of body strength. They just hit devastatingly hard. Edited by k9boy, Jan 3 2018, 01:54 AM.

Nordred May 31 2016, 06:24 AM Tibetan mastiffs vs snow leopard Impressive find, however one of the dogs has a protective collar which i feel is worth pointing out as it would protect its neck from attacks. 221Extra May 26 2016, 02:06 AM A pit looking dog killing a large monitor lizard that tried to get to the chicken coop: The dog neutralizes the monitor very, very fast via the skull bite. Though it did take the dog quite a bit of time before it actually killed the lizard. I also agree with Ceratodromeus. Edited by Saber Warrior, Jan 3 2018, 10:34 PM.
