1
00:00:00,941 --> 00:00:04,401
Kangal vs Wolf
2
00:00:04,477 --> 00:00:08,745
Which is stronger and could win a fight?
3
00:00:08,916 --> 00:00:17,438
Is it possible for the Kangal, a stronger breed of dog, to defeat one of its more powerful cousins, the Wolf?
4
00:00:17,723 --> 00:00:24,255
The main difference between them is that one is a wild animal and the other is a guard dog.
5
00:00:24,396 --> 00:00:35,031
The Kangal is Turkey's national dog, having originated in the area of Sivas as a fawn-colored, black-masked breed.
6
00:00:35,031 --> 00:00:44,139
These dogs are bred for their defensive abilities, making them useful to livestock managers and security forces.
7
00:00:44,317 --> 00:00:53,008
Dogs can defend herds, properties, and people from wild animals which live in Turkey and Africa.
8
00:00:53,222 --> 00:01:02,439
The Grey Wolf (Canis Lupus) is the largest of the wild dog family, often known as the "Timber Wolf."
9
00:01:02,457 --> 00:01:10,499
The Grey Wolf is listed as an endangered species under the 1973 Endangered Species Act
10
00:01:10,499 --> 00:01:18,725
because they are still hunted as a threat to cattle, humans, and for sport in many parts of the world.
11
00:01:19,567 --> 00:01:21,965
What do they look like?
12
00:01:22,046 --> 00:01:35,902
The Kangal Dog is a huge, robust, heavy-boned dog whose size and proportions have naturally developed as a result of its continued use as a predator guardian in Turkey.
13
00:01:35,995 --> 00:01:46,426
With drop ears, the head is large and relatively wide. The tail, which is typically curled, completes the distinctive silhouette.
14
00:01:46,471 --> 00:02:00,005
The Kangal Dog has a double coat that is moderately short and quite dense. A black mask and black silky ears contrast with a pale dun to gray whole-body coloring.
15
00:02:00,106 --> 00:02:09,330
Males stand an impressive 29 - 32 inches (74 - 81 cm) tall at the withers.
16
00:02:09,509 --> 00:02:31,919
Though the breed standard does not specify an ideal weight, males generally weigh approximately 136 - 176 lbs (62 - 80 kg), and females 110 - 154 lbs (50 - 70 kg).
17
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:39,783
Because they are the ancestors of our domestic dogs, the grey wolf has a recognizable body shape.
18
00:02:39,931 --> 00:02:45,098
They have a thick coat of fur that helps to keep them warm by holding body heat.
19
00:02:45,098 --> 00:02:59,678
The color of their fur varies widely across its area, and it is not always grey as their name suggests. Black, brown, grey, and almost totally white all are options.
20
00:02:59,822 --> 00:03:12,243
They have a long muzzle and large ears on their faces, which help them locate their prey. Their legs are long and end with a large foot that has claws at the end of it.
21
00:03:12,305 --> 00:03:31,318
Their body measures between 3.25 - 5 feet (1 - 1.5 m) long and weighs 35 - 140 lbs (16 - 30kg). Males are typically larger than females.
22
00:03:32,173 --> 00:03:34,318
Where do they live?
23
00:03:34,423 --> 00:03:42,385
The Kangal breed was called after the Kangal District in Sivas Province, Turkey, where it is thought to have originated.
24
00:03:42,684 --> 00:03:57,529
Despite its regional origins, the Kangal Dog is regarded as Turkey's national dog by many Turks. In 1985, the Nelsons imported their first Kangal Dog to the United States.
25
00:03:57,629 --> 00:04:05,061
This dog, and subsequent imports, provided the foundation for the Kangal Dog in the United States.
26
00:04:05,331 --> 00:04:11,784
The province of Sivas and the town of Kangal are home to true Kangal Dogs.
27
00:04:11,785 --> 00:04:24,474
Others claim Charmian Steele and others in Britain were the first to develop the breed in the west. In 1965, the first Kangals arrived in England.
28
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:31,593
Historically, Grey wolves have the largest range of any land mammal, other than people.
29
00:04:31,593 --> 00:04:38,549
Except for tropical forests, grey wolves have lived in every habitat in the Northern Hemisphere.
30
00:04:38,736 --> 00:04:48,114
Forests, tundra, and grassy plains, as well as deserts and mountains, are all common habitats for grey wolves.
31
00:04:48,570 --> 00:05:00,849
Today, the Grey Wolf's range has been reduced to some states in the U.S. Grey Wolves can also be found in Canada, Russia, and a few nations in Eastern Europe.
32
00:05:01,281 --> 00:05:03,800
What do they eat?
33
00:05:03,801 --> 00:05:12,088
These Sivas Kangals used to eat scraps from villages, such as water, goat's milk, yogurt, and even bred.
34
00:05:12,127 --> 00:05:23,781
Because this guardians' historical diet is likely nutritionally incomplete due to a lack of high-quality protein, you should opt for a high-quality kibble;
35
00:05:23,842 --> 00:05:32,462
feel free to add raw meat on occasion. Kangal dogs are enormous, and they have enormous appetites to match.
36
00:05:32,988 --> 00:05:38,785
Some ranchers, on the other hand, choose to feed their animals a raw diet.
37
00:05:39,327 --> 00:05:49,700
The grey wolf is a carnivore. A carnivore, the grey wolf is. Large mammals like moose, wild boar, and wapiti, as well as smaller species like the American beaver,
38
00:05:49,700 --> 00:06:02,326
snakes, lizards, and fish, make their diet. Carrion will be consumed as well. Some of the animals they consume can weigh up to ten times as much as the wolf.
39
00:06:02,557 --> 00:06:11,440
These huge meals allow them to go up to a week without eating. Hunting is done in a group called a pack.
40
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:17,869
Larger packs can hunt larger prey, whereas smaller packs focus on smaller prey.
41
00:06:18,529 --> 00:06:21,253
How do they behave?
42
00:06:21,346 --> 00:06:29,910
The normal Kangal Dog is first and foremost a stock guardian dog, with a temperament that is characteristic of such dogs:
43
00:06:29,911 --> 00:06:38,705
vigilant, territorial, and protective of the domestic animals or human family with whom it has formed a bond.
44
00:06:38,931 --> 00:06:49,862
The Kangal Dog has the strength, speed, and bravery to intercept and face dangers to the sheep and goat herds it protects in Turkey and the New World.
45
00:06:49,901 --> 00:06:57,856
Kangal Dogs prefer to scare predators, but if required, they will take a physical stand and attack.
46
00:06:58,176 --> 00:07:05,263
When it comes to strangers, they are reticent, but when it comes to family, they are devoted and affectionate.
47
00:07:05,503 --> 00:07:11,243
Grey wolves are pack animals that live, hunt, and travel in groups.
48
00:07:11,421 --> 00:07:20,489
The alpha male and female, as well as their young and older offspring, make up an average wolf pack of 7-8 individuals.
49
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:31,126
The alphas are the pack's leaders, responsible for defining the group's territory, choosing den locations, and chasing down and hunting prey.
50
00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:38,771
They have strong bonds with the other members of their pack and communicate with them through a variety of calls.
51
00:07:39,105 --> 00:07:45,955
Grey wolves like to move at night and can cover up to 200 kilometers per day.
52
00:07:46,905 --> 00:07:53,930
Now, in a battle between a Kangal and a wolf… who would win?
53
00:07:54,313 --> 00:08:02,051
Kangals and grey wolves are both canids that descended from wolves and are members of the canid family.
54
00:08:02,265 --> 00:08:10,991
Is it possible for the Kangal, the strongest breed of dog, to defeat one of its more powerful cousins, the Wolf?
55
00:08:11,242 --> 00:08:18,982
In most circumstances, wolves are cunning predators who can outsmart and outpower their opponents,
56
00:08:18,982 --> 00:08:28,107
but when confronted with a determined Kangal, things can change. A Kangal has the ability to kill a wolf!
57
00:08:28,239 --> 00:08:39,718
Kangals are an ancient species bred to scare, deter, fight, and even kill huge predators such as coyotes, bears, and wolves.
58
00:08:40,166 --> 00:08:53,901
The Kangal is more than capable of fighting and killing wolves, because of its powerful body, strong fighting instincts, and 743 PSI biting force.
59
00:08:54,133 --> 00:09:01,444
They will not initiate a confrontation with a predator but will give them every opportunity to run,
60
00:09:01,522 --> 00:09:10,503
and if a fight does happen, the Kangal is strong and aggressive enough to give deadly bites and blows to any predator.
61
00:09:10,712 --> 00:09:16,806
Of course, in a one-on-one fight with a Wolf, the wolf can bite the Kangal and kill him.
62
00:09:16,806 --> 00:09:26,624
Most wild predators, such as big cats and dogs, go for the neck, but most livestock guards wear neck protectors like this!
63
00:09:26,768 --> 00:09:35,641
Basically, this makes it extremely difficult for a wolf to get a grip on the neck, whereas the Kangal can simply grip it.
64
00:09:35,938 --> 00:09:46,735
What makes wolves dangerous to dogs is that while they may be close in size, they are completely different animals in every sense of the world.
65
00:09:46,853 --> 00:09:59,092
Wolves are apex predators and wild animals. They hunt for a living and are capable of taking down larger prey. They're also cunning creatures.
66
00:09:59,151 --> 00:10:12,064
They hunt in packs, using clever tactics, and are capable of outwitting dogs. Wolves, regardless of breed, will always represent a threat to dogs.
67
00:10:12,435 --> 00:10:20,644
Kangals can kill wolves, but usually, the wolves found in Turkey are smaller than the Gray Wolves.
68
00:10:20,761 --> 00:10:31,681
In my opinion, the result of this fight depends very much on the wolf. Most Kangals are trained in the same style, but the wolves have different degrees.
69
00:10:31,733 --> 00:10:42,496
If a Kangal fights for example with an alpha grey wolf, it is clear that he has no chance, but against a weaker wolf, perhaps even smaller than the dog,
70
00:10:42,496 --> 00:10:54,182
there is a chance that the Kangal will win. What do you think about this fight? Don't forget to go to the channel's Community page and vote for this fight!
