There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Zhayynn James: " A pair of lappet-faced vultures perched on an acacia tree survey the landscape. They are the largest African vulture species and often other species will defer to them at a carcass, as they are more powerful and able to tear through tough hide and sinew. "

From the book fighters, a description how ravens are bullying wolverines.

"A Wolverine in a Spot of Bother

 Wolverines suffer the most from the ravens’ bullying. The old male we dubbed Fully Black altered his entire feeding schedule because of them. Several times I witnessed how the poor animal was forced away by the birds. Bullies are encouraged by the weaker party showing signs of fear. Fully Black’s precipitous departure encouraged the ravens to sink their talons into his back. They had discovered that mobbing produced the desired result. Finally, Fully Black got fed up with being active in the evenings or mornings and became entirely nocturnal. Since ravens spend a several-hour siesta at night, even at the height of summer, they do not harass visitors to the carrion then and are content with emitting warning calls. 

From the alarm standpoint, the wolverine is not a species that elicits much response from the ravens. Many times a wolverine has put in a sudden appearance at the carrion without any previous fanfare from these birds. There have been occasions, however, when a raven has emitted a soft alarm call upon the arrival on the scene of a wolverine."

Book can be read online here: https://wildfinland.org/pdf/fighters.pdf

Part about ravens from page 98 to 105, some excellent photos there too. Of course the whole book is full of those.

Sad to see this poor guy getting pecked fatally by a crow. Guy tried to fly away but the crow was too fast and pecked him constantly. Nature is sometimes cruel and shouldn't be trifled with. No matter how sad it is, I have to leave this guy to nature. Don't know whether this guy escaped or succumbed to injuries and being fed upon.
