i remember reading how eskimos would wrap sharp bone fragments in balls of fat and leave them for polar bears… then they would follow the bears until they died of internal bleeding.
elephants are much smarter than bears though.
Brutal
Isnt there a similar thing where they put a blood soaked knife in the snow blade up and a wild wolf will come and lick the blood off, cutting their tongue on the blade and keep lapping at it not realising its their blood until they pass out.
That reminds me of how when there is a mosquito in your arm you can pinch the skin around it, trapping its sucker in your skin and at the same time violently blasting your blood into the mosquito until it’s too fat to fly.
Flexing your muscle also traps the little bastards.
Lmao
that is such a grimy way to hunt lol. basically poisoning without the risk eating the meat
It’s the arctic and a polar bear. Is it fair? Well it’s about as fair as fishing. And if they don’t do either they’ll see how fair starving on a block of ice is
Maybe people shouldn’t be living there if they can’t survive without poisoning their prey
Could you just imagine killing an animal that size with a big stick? I’d tell everyone I met, probably multiple times.
Everyone you’d met was probably with you at the time. So their response would be, “yeah we know. Shut up about that mammoth already. It’s been two weeks and we have to go kill another mammoth.”
So if the theory is that spears were planted in the ground rather than thrown, that means there was probably a ton of them in the ground and mammoths were chased into the trap.
Planted in the ground could mean that they were left free standing or that they held the backend against the ground whilst holding onto it still.
Fuckin bullshit. I’ve seen the cave paintings - they were throwing those fuckers
As far as I know, the Clovis people did not make cave paintings and the people who did make cave paintings didn’t hunt mammoths.
Reallllyyy. That’s pretty interesting.
Is this the Mandela effect here? Are not all of the cave paintings and cave drawings I’ve ever seen ones of cave peoples throwing spears at wooly mammoths? Have we been Swiftboated by cave people? Stolen cave valor?
