Compared with the wolf in the wild, who is more powerful?

Can the strength of the stray Tibetan mastiff surpass the wolves? The title

focuses on the "stray" Tibetan mastiff group. Is this deliberately different from the domestic Tibetan mastiff, because in nature, animals compete with bite force when there is not much difference between body size and weight As well as fighting experience, the other most important thing is fighting spirit. It can be said that if the domestic Tibetan mastiff competes with wild wolves, even if the Tibetan mastiff is a little larger than the wild wolf, it cannot beat the wild wolf.

Tibetan Mastiff is a large dog, known for its bravery and loyalty, and is deeply loved by people. A sturdy Tibetan Mastiff can weigh about 75 kg and have a shoulder height of 85 cm. It looks extremely mighty. In contrast to wild wolves, in the wolf population, the timber wolf is the largest wolf. Generally we call the timber wolf the largest wolf, but actually refers to the British Columbia wolf. Because the timber wolf is a group of wolves living in the north The collective term for wolves in the North America. Different subspecies have huge differences in body size. The largest gray wolf subspecies is the British Columbia wolf, which can weigh up to 85 kg and have a height of 90 cm at the shoulder.

If you compare the largest size separately, the size of the Tibetan Mastiff is comparable to the size of the British Columbia wolf. In terms of size and weight, the two are equivalent. That being the case, compare it with other places.

For animals, which one is strong and which is weak mainly depends on the mouth, one on the bite strength and the other on the teeth. Comparing the bite force, the Tibetan mastiff is obviously inferior to the wolf. This is because after the Tibetan mastiff became a pet dog in the nursing home, its bite force began to degenerate. It does not need to hunt prey, nor does it often eat bones. Slowly the bite force drops. According to the data I found, the bite force of the Tibetan Mastiff can reach up to 140 kg, while the bite force of the wolf, taking the British Columbia wolf as an example, the bite force of the British Columbia wolf can reach 300 kg. From the data point of view, the bite force of the British Columbia wolf is twice that of the Tibetan Mastiff.

From the perspective of the length and sharpness of the teeth, the length of the canines of the Tibetan mastiff is generally between 2-3 cm, and generally no more than 3 cm. The length of the canines of the British Columbia wolf is longer than that of the Tibetan mastiff. The length is about 1 cm longer. Longer canine teeth will cause more damage and hit vital parts.

Therefore, the British Columbia wolf is stronger than the Tibetan mastiff in terms of bite force, canine tooth length, and sharpness. In addition, the wolf itself is in the wild and has more experience in fighting and hunting. Of course, the strength lies in the Tibetan Mastiff. on.

However, some netizens will say that it is unreasonable to compare the Tibetan Mastiff with the British Columbian wolf, which is the largest wolves today?

The size of wolves varies greatly from different species. For example, the average weight of the Arabian wolf is only 18 kg. If you encounter a Tibetan mastiff, you will definitely not be able to beat the strong Tibetan mastiff. In fact, Arabian wolves will not fight with Tibetan Mastiffs. In the animal kingdom, especially predatory carnivores, they will not fight due to the same aggressiveness, because even if the duel is won, they will not go unscrupulous. A lossless victory will always be colored. If so, it is better to prey on non-aggressive herbivores.

Furthermore, the Tibetan Mastiff is considered to be the larger of the domestic dog subspecies, which is not reasonable compared to the larger wolf.

To sum up, if the Tibetan Mastiff is compared with a wolf of comparable size, such as the British Columbia wolf, then it is clear that the British Columbia wolf will win. What is your opinion?

To say a digression, in fact, whether it is a wolf or a domestic dog, it belongs to the gray wolf species in the biological classification. There are 39 subspecies under the gray wolf species, whether it is the Tibetan mastiff or the British Columbia wolf. One, even the petite Teddy, belongs to the gray wolf breed domestic dog subspecies in the biological classification.
