Because we are removed from the reality of living close to nature. They _are_ dangerous, but people keep pushing myths that we are never prey for them. In India many attacks still happen. The wolves are known to attack children especially.
Because wolves were apex Alaskan predators. They’d rip humans apart in packs. They’re extremely smart. So we learned to be wary of them and their growls/movements
@@bazukata3734yes, but alphas don't exist they're just the breeding pair, and the rest of the pack is their many litters of children the term "alpha" (and beta and omega by extension) got popularized by a guy who wrote a book on his study of captive wolves; upon studying wild wolves and realizing they work far differently, he tried to get his book to stop being published they kept publishing his book anyway, however fun fact for your fun fact: if multiple related packs are travelling together, they follow the eldest wolf
I mean, Harvey knew things were escalating a bit and put a check on it. I don't think that was a bad thing. Because everything was proper playful after that.
The ultimate foe, they say it has 5 heads, and can slither on the air, only the mighty Haircules was able to perform the leg grapple of death in conjunction with the invincible claw of hades to defeat THE CLAW
Damn, this actually reminds me of my golden retriever somehow. He is the most quiet dog in the world but he’s actually pretty big for his breed. He makes the exact same growl when he plays keepaway with his ball or if he sees someone he doesn’t know.
He is a very expressive boy, the whole body language show how he is playing. He did give me a little spook when he pulled the mouth back to show teeth like wolves do when not playing though
Wolves can bark, however it's typically only the cubs and juveniles that bark. Adult wolves may bark to alert the rest of the pack of an immediate threat in the area but they typically adopt non barking behavior when they mature because they instinctively know that in the wild barking will increase the chances of detection by predators in their environment.
This is how my dad plays with our dog. I'm too scared to do that but he grew up with dogs and knows exactly how to behave, always will be impressed by such people ;))
Dogs are surprisingly gentle when you play like this. My old dog loved to and she'd chomp the air with her big ol pitbull jaws when I did. It was rare but she did get my hand on accident a few times. Never once broke the skin, and playtime was paused until she knew I was okay.
A lot of dogs love this kind of play. I used to play with my dog as a kid by quickly touching her paws or the sides of her face and she would bark and try to bite my hands, until eventually i always let her win and just bite me. And it was always the softest, cutest little grab of my hand with her mouth, quickly followed by licks on my hand to let me know she didn't mean it and she loved me 😂
@@davidteachout1888 I've got a stocky shihtzu thats just a ball of fur and muscle. The only time I ever felt a bite of hers close to full force was me playing with her and I had my hand inside her pillow and she mistook it for me just shaking the pillow like usual. I swear that dog looked more shocked than I did. I didn't even know she was strong enough to draw blood considering her size and rice grain teeth. Its surprising how much dogs can "pull their punches" when playing around. I wonder how many owners never learn how strong their dog's bite can be
I used to mess with my Havanese before she passed by blowing on her ears and she’d turn to try to snap at me, it was a fun game we’d do when she was younger. Once I was being particularly bothersome and moved far faster than I anticipated and she caught my nose in her teeth, but she didn’t bite down. Just gently rested her teeth on my nose, then let go and gave me a ‘coulda got you buddy’ look. One of my favorite memories. Dogs are one of the few sources of true, unconditional love.
Yeah not recommend having a true full bred wolf. It’s not in their genes to be friendly towards us without excessive upbringing and even then they are just more wild
@@erickchristensen746 I do agree with you there but there are outstanding cases where full bred wolves have been abnormally receptive to humans. There's the general rule but there are exceptions/abnormalities to it
They're great pets but require serious owners in order to not become problematic, if they're taught well they're as soft as bread and just need extra physical activity since wolves are more active than dogs
I have a friend that has a rescue in Washington state she has 4 high content wolf dogs and 2 Grey wolves. When they all get playing the growls are very intimidating but there is really never any blood shed! She also has a Husky and 2 Belgain shepards.
This is like those two friends who greet each other by insulting each other viciously, and any outsiders who don’t know them assume that they are mortal enemies, but in actuality they are the closest of bros and have the tightest of relationships.
My great grandfather's wolfdog, Daedalus, always growled really loudly when people tried to pet him. But as you touched his head growling stopped and he went into a quiet mode, letting you pet him with closed eyes. As my granpa used to say, He showed his rough love this way. Had him since I was 3 to when I got into university. When I turned 19 he passed away from old age. Still love that guy ❤
@@daisybuchanan8205, my granfather thought so too. He was smart as hell as well, so it definitely fitting for him to be named after a famous greek genius
35,000 years ago in a winter with kill temperatures, a man is sitting by a fire and notices 2 dots in the wood observing him. Slowly, hesitantly, the wolf moves towards the warmth of the fire. The warrior clutches his spear. In that moment, eyes locked, the wolf doesn't charge, the man doesn't thrust his spear, and all that is left, are two lifeforms trying to survive the elements, knowing if they both suppress their instincts they might just make it through the night...
@@infinitytoinfinitysquaredb7836 Basically what ravens and wolves are doing now. The two species got closer and close and eventually the wolves started living with the humans
Great story… humans definitely stole pups from parents (or raised the pups of the adult wolves they killed). The pups imprint. Thousands of imprints later, we have a dog
See, I keep seeing the body language, which says "Bitey-face Smackdown!" and I am utterly charmed. I've often had dogs that growl and snarl as their primary vocalizations, even as the snuggle up close.
NGL the Huskies Yelp caught me so off guard, I'm encapsulated by this Wolf's beauty then all of a sudden, "WOAH!!" I WAS LIKE WTF IS THA--OH it's a Husky.🤣🤣
That's "wolf chatter", small talk, my dogo and pity both communicate, sometimes via growls, deep forceful breaths, barks, whining and the like. Beautiful pack creature, nature's ride-n-die, who will protect it's pack to the death. lucky guy to be on the A list.
It has a different purpose in wolves. Most of their body language and vocalizations don't line up with those of the domesticated dogs. Wolfdogs are harder to read because they use a mixture of dog and wolf communication strategies.
You shouldn't talk about animal behaviors if you don't understand them. You can clearly see by its tail and demeanor that this is playful behavior. If it didn't want to be touched, it would either do a quick set of snaps (not very hard) or simply just go away.
In this instance it's perceived as just a game. Having a dog who can be reactive when stressed, there's a very clear difference between a dog who feels threatened and a dog who's playing. In this instance the hand above his head coming at him slowly is a game similar to like saying, "immmm gonna getcha!" To a little kid while slowly sneaking up to them. Even my dog who I said was reactive (very sweet dog, has never bitten someone bc we know how to keep him calm) enjoys this game. You just have to be gentle with him tho
I love that playful growl (or doggie purr as some may call it). I especially love when other people hear a dog growling like that and think it's a vicious dog but those who know the dog go right in. I bet it scares the unknowing.
The key phrase is know the dog. The human in this video is part of the pack. I don't think this would go the same way for a stranger. Wolf dogs are notorious for being aggressive with people they don't know and trust. This human worked very hard over a long period of time to get to this level of trust with Harvey
There are hundreds of accounts of pet wolf hybrids attacking people and children after being docile for years. Maybe youve never known anyone killed by an animal they cared for. never trust a wild animal. No matter how special you think you or your pet is
As someone who has never had a dog and can't tell the difference, dogs are both terrifying and marvellous to me. I can't imagine not panicking at the smallest growl.
Yeah something tells me that people won’t be thinking this wolf is so adorable and friendly when it kills its owner. People like to forget that there are certain animals that you cannot tame. This is a WILD ANIMAL, it still has survival instincts, and if it sees you as a threat it will not hesitate to attack you
I fostered a neurotic pit for a while and the first time she purred my blood ran cold. Got rid of that really quick--didn't want her to know how much she shook me. Never did trust her. I've raised a couple large dogs very successfully so I wasn't inexperienced. I think the fact that she could tear me to pieces with that jaw power without a second thought. After trying to socialize her and teach her some basic manners failed I gave up. We plucked her from an abusive environment. Our calm household, routine and consistency along with the positive reward training were an utter fail. It was like her brain just couldn't make the connection. She had good points. She was funny and loved to cuddle. A loose cannon pitbull is too much of a liability. We gave it six months. Eight months in we had her put down. I felt like a complete failure. I failed her.
@@simonfawcett5265 that average over a higher class, a wolf maximum attack bite force exceeds 1000-1200, it depens on how big the wold is. 400 is like its eating bite force
The Dog Whisperer (Caesar Milan) is a hack you claim? Really? Then why do his techniques work? Hmmm. Also, I really gotta REALLY respect a man who gets bit by a dog, takes it LIKE A MAN, doesn't blame the dog or the owner, and keeps shooting his show - like nothing happened. That episode was SO cool. Caesar was like "No, don't be upset, dog is just being a dog, this is not anyone's fault, I am o.k, I've had much worse bites."
I have a standard longhaired dachshund, 16.6 pounds. My Jeep looks like a fluff factory exploded in it. How can one small dog lose so much fur and not be bald? On the next windy day I should open it up and let the wind take it away.
It's like when your brother would hold his finger close to your face and say "I'm not touching you!" but the imaginary electron beams were turning your nervous system into a pretzel.
@@justsomeguythatwantstocry4243 if you have someone's finger really close to your face, right between the eyes and not touching you you'll start to feel something really wacky
Its like when your brother would put his finger in your mouth and youd bite and he say "charlie bit me, and that really hurt! Ouch charlie!!" You know what i say??
This is such a good boy! I liked how he was trying to play "hard to get" by acting like he didn't want to be touched, yet he wanted the head pets and chin scratches anyway. Awesome puppy, and very beautiful. Beautiful boy.
