“Super Pack” of 400 Wolves Terrorizes Russia Town
Posted by Ryan on February 7th, 2011
A “super pack” of wolves, said to be 400 hundred strong, has been terrifying the Russian town of Verkhoyansk and has left more than 30 horses dead in just four days. The authorities have put together twenty four teams of hunters to try and get rid of the wolves using traps, snowmobiles, and helicopters.
“The massive group is believed to be made from hundreds of packs and has left animal experts baffled. Dr Valerius Geist, a wildlife behaviour expert, said the harsh Siberian winter – where temperatures plummet to minus 49C – had killed off the animal’s usual prey.
He said: ‘It is unusual for wolves to gather in such numbers of hunt large animal like horses. ‘However, the population of their usual prey, rabbits, has decreased this year due to lack of food, so wolves have had to change their habits.”

A war between telepathic, candy addicted Yeti and bears, Chupicabra attacks, bears digging up graves and feasting on dead people, and now a pack of hundreds of wolves teaming up to put the hurt on everyone? Is this the weirdest winter in Russian history? Or is this the most awesome winter in Russian history?
I don’t know, I am really excited to see what else happens in Russia.
I would also like to see Spiro and the Fudge being sent to Russia to try to solve- well, do they ever solve anything… I guess I would really like to see them go to Russia and tackle the case of the “Bear/Yeti/Unearthed Corpses/Chupicobra/Wolf Wars”.

Step 3) Thank the Russian army for their funds and assistance in creating cyber wolf army but inform them that the project is being privatized.
Step 4) Take over Eurasia.
