Male wild yak charges towards wolf, the wolf retreated in fear:


"Wolves dont usually mess with healthy adult wild yaks"

"Most of the time, the wolves, even in large numbers, dare not fight a wild yak"

"This wolf retreats in fear"

"Once again, the wild yak wins hands down"

I think bull yaks are immune to predation from all animals in its range including the Tibetan blue bear. Wolf packs might be able to killl one if persistence but even then they usually leave the bovine alone.

Reply #5, cat fanatics are dumb they even claim a snow leopard could kill a 500 kg yak, which is a mega horse crap.

I have seen than before, that's a female though, and she was able to make the snow leopard flee and save her offspring. That's not bad at all, lmao. A male is a whole different ball game.
