A Saudi farmer says that he heard a wolf crying like a man just before he killed it by running it over many times by his four-wheel car.

Farhan Al Dhabian he narrowly escaped when the massive wolf, a rare hybrid between a male wolf and a female hyena, chased him outside his farm in the northern Saudi town of Arar near the border with Iraq.

He said he managed to get into his four-wheel vehicle and chase the wolf for a long distance before knocking him down.

“I kept hitting it with my car until it fell down and was unable to move….just before it died, I heard it crying like a man,” he told Arar newspaper.

He said the wolf had killed a large number of sheep and camels at his farm and other farms in the area.

The paper quoted experts as saying the endangered wolf, dubbed Shayeb breed, is the largest and most vicious animal in its wolf species and that it attacks sheep, horses, cows, camels and dogs.
