Tips on fending off eagles, coyotes, and bears

(this topic is still being worked on)
From what I've learned so far, this is some advice I can offer on protecting your cubs.
Eagles: When an eagle appears, the game will warn you which cub it is targeting be the zoom in. If you didn't have name tags turned on, it would be easier to turn it on. The Eagle will circle around the cub it wants a few times. Heres the important part. Keep a slight distance from any pup, while facing, from a tiny distance, the cub the eagle wants. If your cubs are too close, your wolf will turn to them and you may end up not turning back to the eagle in time, pushing your cubs too the eagles claws, or just not getting to your cub that's in danger in time at all. Moving backwards from your cubs wont trigger the turning to cub effect, so move backwards, forewards, turning, so that you can inch away from the three other cubs that may be following you, while still facing the cub that is being targeted. As the eagle flies lower, dont go and bump into it until if lands, or it will fly away and come back shortly after. When it finally lands and slowly, walk or run(if you cant control running, dont take your chances because you might miss the eagle and not turn back in time) up to the eagle and bump into it. It wil fly off.Also, when you're going up to it, don't hold a cub in your mouth because the eagle will gladly take the cub from your mouth. If you're stuck facing a cub, backing up is the quickest way to turn away.
Coyotes: Coyotes are faster and will run up and kill your cubs. When the game alerts you with the zoomin, you will see which cub it is targeting. Don't run far from your cubs or it will make it's move. Find some space to run forward without running into a cub, and chase it down and kill it. It's helpful, when you're makeing your journey to your summer den, to stay a bit of distance from other wolf territories, so you dont have to work around chasing coyotes into their territory. If you don't kill a coyote, it will definitely come back to try and get your cub. Also try to kill the coyote quickly so that you don't ever have to deal with two coyotes at a time.
Bears: From what I know,bears can be unnataturally fast when they try to kill your cubs. But like the coyote and the eagle, it will target a cub and go after that one. You go up to the bear bite it three times and it will run away. The fighting with a bear works in turns. Your turn, it's turn your turn, it's turn. You will be very low on health after the fight so go find a carcuss to eat right away before something else comes up.
Another thing is, there have been cases where the game didn't alert me of an eagle, coyote, or bear. My cubs were running off in all four directions, a coyote appeared, I ran off to save that one, and behind me, the eagle was carrying off my cubs with out the game alert.
I'm not absolutely sure if this is correct, but I will definitely edit this if something more accurate comes up.
