In this incident wolf didn´t attack and that was a surprise for people observing. Wolf was at times lying down and looked like stalking the wolverine, but for some reason it didn´t attack, maybe it didn´t like too soft swamp to try run and catch the wolverine or too many trees and knowing by experience, that wolverine climbs too quickly to safety. After some time wolverine went to the forest out of sight and wolf, Bum Biter, went after following it.

Bum Biter is well known ferocious wolf, but also smart... who knows what it was thinking, but this was really interesting incident since usually wolves attack right away when seeing a wolverine. Reply
