Und jetzt muss ich mich für meine Frage schämen.
Dass mir das nicht selber kam! Verdammt, ja.

This may cause a decrease in the wolf population. It is also possible that several severe winters in a row would decrease deer populations and wolves may not be able to kill enough food to eat, so again wolf numbers would decrease.https://www.wolf.org/wolf-info/basic-wo ... -behavior/In summary, we cannot generalize about what kind of effect wolves have on their prey populations, because their effect is dependent on so many factors. It is possible to get an indication of wolf and prey population trends in a small area or system, but generalizing from one to the other is not always valid.
Und wie so hast du nicht diesen Satz zitiert, da musst du auch keine Möglicherweise vielleicht kanns rausstreichenErklärbär hat geschrieben: 7.

Falls es keine alternativen Nahrungsquellen gibt.
Wolf predation on ungulates varies seasonally. It is highest during mid to late winter, when animals are suffering from poor nutrition and the snow is deep, making them easier to kill.
Kurz: wenn ein kleiner Kuschelbär spielen will, rennt kreischend weg (1). Jagd auf Bären macht keinen Unterschied im Verhalten, wenn Mutti Bär richtig pissig wird (2).The increasing trend of large carnivore attacks on humans not only raises human safety concerns but may also undermine large carnivore conservation efforts. Although rare, attacks by brown bears Ursus arctos are also on the rise and, although several studies have addressed this issue at local scales, information is lacking on a worldwide scale. Here, we investigated brown bear attacks (n= 664) on humans between 2000 and 2015 across most of the range inhabited by the species: North America (n =183), Europe (n=291), and East (n= 190). When the attacks occurred, half of the people were engaged in leisure activities and the main scenario was an encounter with a female with cubs. Attacks have increased significantly over time and were more frequent at high bear and low human population densities. There was no significant difference in the number of attacks between continents or between countries with different hunting practices. Understanding global patterns of bear attacks can help reduce dangerous encounters and, consequently, is crucial for informing wildlife managers and the public about appropriate measures to reduce this kind of conflicts in bear country.
DiscussionMain circumstances of the attacks. Attacked people were almost exclusively adults (99%; Supplementary Fig. S3a) and males (88%; Supplementary Fig. S3b). In 63% of the cases, the person was alone at the moment of the attack (Supplementary Fig. S3c). When the attack occurred, 50% (n = 279) of the people were engaged in leisure activities, such as hiking (n = 88), picking berries, mushrooms, or antlers (n = 64), camping (n = 31), fishing (n = 18), or jogging (n = 17). As for the other activities, 28% (n= 158) of the attacked people were working outside, i.e. farming, guarding livestock, or logging (n = 104), or doing wildlife-related fieldwork (n = 12), and 22% (n = 123) were hunting (Fig. 3a). Attacks that occurred during bear hunts (n = 27) were concentrated in a few countries/states (Sweden, Finland, Alaska and Russia). In Europe, this kind of attack was only present in Fennoscandia (n = 16), where bears are often hunted with chasing dogs. No attacks occurred in European countries where bears are hunted using bait from a stand. The attacks that occurred while working outside were more frequent in Europe (n = 94, of which 64 occurred in Romania) than in the rest of the brown bear range included in our study.
The most prevalent scenario of a brown bear attack was an encounter with a female bear with cubs (47%, n = 137; Fig. 4), followed by sudden encounters (20%, n = 59), dog presence (17%, n = 48), bear attacking after being shot or trapped (10%, n = 30), and predatory attacks (5%; n = 9 in Russia and n = 6 in North America) (Fig. 3b). However, sometimes the scenario was more complex, because an attack could have been triggered by
more than one factor. For example, in seven cases, the attack was caused by the interaction of a female with cubs and a dog.
Wenn man will, dass sich die Bären benehmen ... sollte man just erwägen, sie wie gewohnt abzuknallen sich selbst klüger zu benehmen und ihnen Raum zu lassen, wenn sie ihn gerade brauchen.The fact that the most prevalent scenario, both in North America and Europe, was an encounter with a female with cubs agrees with that found in previous studies at smaller scales, and suggests that this class of bear is more likely to respond aggressively to encounters with humans and, therefore, requires additional attention and public information campaigns. Additionally, females with cubs, together with subadults, are most likely to use areas close to human activities in order to avoid male bears and predators or search for anthropogenic food, and this might make them more susceptible to accidental encounters with people. In this sense, where possible, temporal restrictions on public access to areas where females with cubs are commonly present might be crucial for avoiding human disturbance to brown bear females and resulting dangerous encounters. Other frequent scenarios (sudden encounters, presence of dogs, wounded bear) are mainly the result of inappropriate and risk-enhancing human behaviours (e.g. moving alone and being silent in bear country, walking an unleashed dog, or chasing a wounded bear while hunting), and could be reduced by improving public education and awareness of the issue.
Außer dem Wolf gibt es hier aber keinen anderen Großspargelstecher mehr, und der greift auch nicht blind an, was er noch gar nicht identifiziert hat. ...

Dazu muss man sich nicht tarnen, nur entsprechend verhalten.
Leise schleichen im Wald ist beispielsweise fast genauso kontraproduktiv wie Krach machen. Denn wer bewusst schleicht, könnte ja was vorhaben... das Beutetier ahnt Schlimmes, der Beutegreifer vermutet Konkurrenz. Und wenn schon schleichen, dann professionell indianermässig: Lautlos und unter Wind. Sonst ists eh albern. Muss aber gekonnt sein...
