The fact that we have a gif of a herd animal plowing through a younger one and leaving it the the wolves may not be representative of the species as a whole, but good enough for a comic IMO
Edit: wrong gif and I can’t get the right one to upload. If you search buffalo snow wolves gif it should come up
Probably knew it wasn’t his kid. People in these comments seem to be about “mammals protect their young, dammit”, but if it’s someone else’s young, and that someone else isn’t around (even if that someone else is the same species) …
Indeed. My favorite part of nature shows as a kid was watching predators for after the young animals and get absolutely wailed on by the older ones. Never saw a documentary where they just left them behind unless it was completely hopeless, and often still not.
The juxtaposition of these posts just below the gif of the bison KOing the other, smaller one, and leaving it to the wolves just above is, I think, even funnier than the comic.
Now I suddenly want to resurrect the Baghdad Bob meme template, but…effort.
I laughed so hard at how grossly wrong the general idea is being presented in this meme. It’s like the repetition of “alpha wolf” myth.

Dang
That’s a “fuck you in particular” if I ever saw it.

Buffalos rarely leave their young unless it’s hopeless. Most often the adults fight the predators.
