Wolf (Canis lupus)

[TheNormalGuy]

Quote:"Wolves [Arabian] feeding on carcasses during daylight may meet vultures. One pair of wolves [2] was feeding on a carcass at a feeding station in the morning. Eight [8] griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus fulvus) from a nearby colony arrived, but did not approach the carcass until the wolves had departed.

In another case, a lone wolf [1] fed one morning on a carcass at another feeding station. Seventeen [17] griffon vultures arrived and tried time and again, to approach the carcass, but were chased away each time by the wolf. They too had to wait until the wolf had departed."
