In attacking such large game, however, the wolves like to act in concert, one springing at the animal's head, and attracting its attention, while the other hamstrings it.

Nevertheless, one such big wolf will kill an ordinary horse.

A man I knew, who was engaged in packing into the Coeur d'Alenes, once witnessed such a feat on the part of a wolf.

He was taking his pack train down into a valley when he saw a horse grazing therein; it had been turned loose by another packing outfit, because it became exhausted.

He lost sight of it as the trail went down a zigzag, and while it was thus out of sight he suddenly heard it utter the appalling scream, unlike and more dreadful than any other sound, which a horse only utters in extreme fright or agony.
