When I worked for years on a remote industrial plant in Siberia and it became early winter, I asked a morning for a toilet that also works at the cold of -25°C. In response, the Russian showed two thicker bars, a longer one, and a slightly shorter one that leaned in the corner. I asked him what this is. He just said, "The short rod you're rambling into the earth, and then you can hang your clothes on it." "And with the longer one?" I asked further – He said, "With the long rod you are fighting the wolves while."

It is by no means that wolves and bears are so shy here, as often assumed. That may apply to Alaska, or the tundra, and not even there it is. Here in Germany there is too little space in the forest; that's like looking for a plot for his house at Frankfurt Main Station. All the wild is in constant upheaval and hoarded, joggers, hunters, downhillers, mountain bikers, mountain hikers, barely a kilometer of forest without tire tracks and without garbage. And in all this season, should Wolf and Bear be able to hunt alone? We must adapt to many different encounters; – carry little perfume, – eat only packed with plastic, – leave nothing, – have enough pepper spray with oil, do not have with gases as a dispersant, – keep flashlight and loud pipe or signal horn ready, – very important: to learn how quickly and safely.

You will certainly never face free-lived bears and wolves. In addition, wolves are so stupid that they disappear long before you have the chance to see them. You will walk a bear in Germany at the most in the zoo. Where there are bears, you better not drive around alone. If a bear attacks you, the best defense strategy will no longer help you.

Neither wolves, nor bears are generally aggressive unless you provoke them. So if you don't get too close to them and don't kidnap their boys, they shouldn't be at risk.

Tips to help bears, such as suspended in Yellowstone Park:

Don't go to the bears and try to care for him. Even with small bears. Keep standing (photography, because so much luck must have to see such an animal), and then slowly retreat. Bear and human are passing by.

As a beekeeper… only the location of the sticks helps. And… a house dog, or a shepherd in sheep.

In the case of lonely hikes in the wilderness of Canada, bring back well raised at night or you have no more provisions the next morning.

At wolves… if you ever see her… stay calm. Not those who love “dogs” try and not puppies at all.

In a very unusual case to be attacked (worldwide no 5 cases per year): pepper spray, just like against (very much more likely, regularly fatal) aggressive dogs.

Wolves are by no means aggressive. They only attack when they feel threatened. Defend? The best defense is to keep quiet, slowly pull back and clap, whistle or something. So much from the view of wolves. In fairy tales, wolves are aggressive towards people, but look: In "Red Riding Hood", the girl feeds the wolf and he is evil. That is why: Feeder NEVER is a wild animal. Whether wolf, or other animal.

Wolves are not aggressive if you don't provoke them. On the contrary, they are very shy. I don't know about bears, but I'd say if you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone.

Animal welfare associations are concerned with the protection of heinic and endangered species. Although expulsion programs have already been successfully implemented for lynx, we do not have wolves and bears in Germany.

Wolves migrate from their own power in Germany over the eastern EU countries and have already formed several packs with us. Bears, on the other hand, are extremely rare and at most by-passed game.

Both animals are usually not dangerous to humans because they avoid him. Especially wolves are very shy from nature – you will hardly encounter a wolf as walkers. It is much more likely that you will get to do it with a wild boar, and these animals are indeed very dangerous – but by wild boars there is something strange about you.

Wolves are only dangerous when they lose their natural barn. They are very intelligent predators that associate the smell of man with danger. If this changes, for example, when people are fed or discover the surrounding food waste at resting places as a food source, we could actually get problems with them in the future.

That's why the best you can do to protect yourself from a wolf or bear, that you're looking for not leaving any food left in nature and not just throwing your garbage out of the car window after a visit to McDonald's. And if you see something like this while walking: pick up the garbage and dispose of it at home.

If you actually encounter an aggressive wolf, which is more unlikely than a lottery win, you can fight him with pepper spray. Wolves have very sensitive noses and take out tears when sprayed with irritant gas.

By learning to behave properly. Bears and wolves are not aggressive but just wild animals

You want "To defend wolves"? It will be difficult! To this end, you have to catch these extremely shy animals, take them into custody and so shamefully torment them, overcome their fear and set themselves against you.

Of course, things are different if you happen to be the Red Riding Hood or his Grandma. In this case, I apologize.

This stupid question is pure hunting propaganda! Scaremongering in animals that you never see as a normal citizen or who do not live here, like the bears.

Wolves are very shy animals and are more afraid of you than you are.

You don't have to go to war because you won't get these animals to face. You should have more respect for wild boar.

Create a tiger. He'll be done playing with bears and wolves. :

I think a "zam tiger" (if there is) is much more dangerous than a wild wolf. Above all, you have to tame the tiger first, and this is neither easy nor harmless. If the tiger is not tamed by himself, he will never listen to you in life.

I don't think that a tiger is dangerous to a Grizzly or Kodiak bear!

With wolves already, but that a tiger "playing" with a bear, especially as a Grizzly Kodiak or ice bear is finished, I doubt strongly! They're already heavier and even more "armored" by their thick fur, from their deeds!

Don't go to the forest.
Besides, they don't do anything unless you provoke or run away. Just run backwards and don't run.
