Drone Footage of Wolves Hunting Wild Goat in Eastern Türkiye
Occurred on June 2, 2026 / Tunceli, Türkiye
Info from Licensor: "Rare drone footage captured two wolves hunting a wild goat in eastern Türkiye's Tunceli province on Tuesday, June 2. The encounter unfolded in the Mercan Valley near the district of Ovacik, a mountainous region known for its wildlife populations. The footage showed a wolf separating a wild goat from the herd and pursuing the animal across rocky slopes before repeatedly attacking its leg. After repeatedly attacking the animal's leg, the predator eventually brought the goat down on an open slope. A second wolf then joined the hunt, and the pair dragged the carcass toward a rocky crevice. The images offered a rare look at the hunting behavior of wolves in the wild and the challenges faced by prey species in Türkiye's rugged mountain ecosystems."
