Wolf vs Cougar, Bear and Hyena: Who Would Win In A Fight?

wolf vs hyena

Wolves hold a special and fearful place in the human imagination. After all, the idea of the werewolf has terrified us for almost two millennia. A form of the werewolf appears in ancient Greek sources, although the concept began truly flourishing in European myths from the fifteenth century onwards. It soon spread to America, and even led to so-called werewolves being persecuted and killed as part of the international witch trials. It’s hard to imagine another animal creating quite the same kind of fear – weremooses, weresheep and even werefoxes just don’t feel quite as chilling.

A new study has found that rats, like humans, will avoid actions that can cause pain to their fellow beings.

This trait is known as harm aversion.

Researchers believe their findings will help scientists develop new treatments to increase harm aversion in human patients who show psychopathic behavior.

“We share a mechanism that prevents antisocial behaviour with rats, which is extremely exciting to me,” says professor Christian Keysers, study group leader at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience. “We can now use all the powerful tools of brain science to explore how to increase harm aversion in antisocial patients.”

Take a look at even the strangest creatures in the world, such as the shape-shifting, poison-wielding, flashing-skinned flamboyant cuttlefish, and we can normally still relate to them in some way.
