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.

Don't misunderstand that these wolves are trying to hunt wild boar. 
On the contarory this wild boar wanted to scavenge on black buck kill of these wolves and was trying to push these wolves away. 

At the end, wovles have to settle with one leg piece each and wild boar got his share of remaining part of kill.

Honey badgers have reputation to be able to irritate bigger animals. Looks like that sometimes they get payback too. Here one funny incident in that way, that this time it is honey badger getting frustrated and going away.

Three wolverines found killed by wolves, looks like to be winter 2017-2018 in Canada. Radio collaring seems to give more information about harsh reality concerning wolf-wolverine interactions.

We documented 3 wolverines killed by wolves in northwest Alberta. Each had a ball of snow in their mouth. Maybe this is a wolf calling card? Or maybe the wolverine was not going down without a bite? Overall, other sources of mortality are more concerning for the population.

Hyenas in bad situation, but these two seems to act in smart way to avoid a lot of bites. Wild dogs for sure know when they have the upper hand.

Photo from situation, where well known bear harasser wolf Bum Biter meets a wolverine July 25th 2014.

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.

A beautiful black wolf and two coyotes: difference in size and, thus, intimidation...

Interesting encounter. A big pack of wolves and a bear. Even though there is some confrontation and chasing I think, that wolves had eaten enough before the bear arrives. That bear doesn´t look a big one so I think, that hungry wolves would have chased it away. Now it looks like more just some fooling around, not real fight for a carcass. Determined bear though, for a young bear that situation is challenging. Maybe this bear had some experience.

An interaction between Dholes and Indian grey wolf like the ones posted by @sanjay and @Sanju from Satpura Tiger Reserve. Looks like it’s not a one off but a larger pattern. 

Here, a pack of Dhole and Indian wolf are running together and later even shared the a kill.

Poor wolf, it really did all it could to say please with gestures. I started to hope that it would find something but no luck this time.

Brown bear or as it´s called in North-America, grizzly, showing why it´s often called as King of the Forest. This bear was no young fool the wolf could have tricked.

This day didn't turn out that well when this female jackal encountered a pair of wolves while scouting for food around her den site. Next morning we saw her shifting the pups out of the area.
