Ambushing gray wolf documented
Voyageurs Wolf Project camera traps (May 2018), documents certain changes in Minnesota wolf predatory behavior strategies.Since 2015, the VWP identified approximately 400 situations when wolf ambushed on beaver - attacking from downwind, so beavers couldn't sniff an approaching predator.
Wolf attack on human - prism of survival
The majority of animal behavior is instinctive - genetically conditioned hereditary ability of animals (including humans) to proceed according to specific behavioral sequences driven by impulses and controlled by selected external stimulus, being primary conditions for survival.
The fence color for livestock protection
Blue color of the fence is above all for searching/tracking predators (scent detecting or following it) information about inaccessibility of potential prey easy to get if not monitored. Fluttering bands play an additional role - deterring them hunting in the dark (along with LGD or instead of them).
Dog frisbee - positively reinforced predatory behavior
Every disc dog event related training bases on behavior chain in which units of behavior occur in sequences, relying primarily on Canis familiaris natural prey drive inherited after Canis lupus ancestors and fetching a toy tendency as a part of dog-human relations.
