A massive wolf met its match after wreaking havoc on a farm in eastern Russia.
After the wolf killed two dogs and attacked a horse, a man, carrying a torch, shrugged off being bitten by the animal and was able to kill it with his bare hands, according to the Daily Mail .
The struggle was recorded, as was the wolf previously chasing one of the dogs. Reports said the man didn’t have time to use any weapons.
He apparently was worried the wolf would attack his cattle next, reports said, so he had to deal with the threat immediately.
The man posed with the dead wolf after the kill and is reportedly being tested for rabies.
Wolf attacks have become more common in Novotroitskoye. Some say it is because nearby forests have been destroyed, leaving wolves without their natural habitat.
