@@lycoanlaywer1920 All I can do is explain each word to you: Werewolves are monster hybrids of man and wolf, breeding is the act of giving life to something, bloodsport is a sport of blood/killing.
I mean, being killed by a human is way more common. BUT having close encounters with a human is also waay way more common than having a close encounter with a wolf. So I am not sure wild wolf's really are safer to humans than humans or if it's more the statistical likely hood of interacting with one of the two that makes it seem like wolfs are safer. Just as a reminder, wild wolfs are not domesticated dogs.
I’ve experienced two wolf sightings. One in Alaska, another in Colorado. Both times we just stared at another, and then the wolf walked away. Thankfully there was good distance between us. I’ve also had this happen with a fox, moose, and bobcat. Bobcat was actually the closest encounter. It walked right between my dog and I. Stopped at that point, looked at me, then kept walking away. My dog was about 15 years old, so he didn’t react, just stayed still. Sometimes the best thing to do is stay still and quiet. Give them their space. It’s more their curiosity, when they know you’re not a threat, they depart. Naturally not all cases, but my own experience.
Was this is northern CO? We haven't had wolves for a long time in CO, except for a few packs who wander in from Wyoming. Just reintroduced 10 of them last year to broader parts of thei historic range
Yeah there's not really wolves here in Co, and no shot a bobcat was just chilling with you and you're dog those things will fuck with just about anything they see.
Once I confused lone wolf in the forest for a big furry dog and actually tried to pet it. Wolf decided that he dont want to be any close to this insane human.
imagine listening to a pack of them making that sound on a new moon night (zero light), ripping and tearing apart a deer you forgot to string up just outside the light range of your fire. (20-30 feet) now imagine your gun is 50 feet away from you in the opposite direction, inside the trailer you sleep in. (too dark to see the trailer at this distance, so you feel unsafe to go there) now imagine experiencing this as a 14 year old. lmao
Dude just imagine taking a walk out in the forest alone and you're just enjoying nature until you think you hear a small whisper, and you have no idea where its coming from, until you see a tall, lanky figure barely in sight just a few meters ahead of you. Yea I'd run away, too
People have a weird perception when it comes to wolves and think they are just attacking and killing people all the time. Attacks are so extremely rare, and that is if you even encounter one. They almost always try to avoid humans.
@@inukoinu.k9 The problem is that it's not obvious how you provoke an animal. That's why I would never go in a forest alone. Also it's normal to think wolves are "killing people all the time". They could kill you easily. Life is not a Disney movie
If you are a midget, extremely young (elementary/middle school), frail, injured, old, or have a small pet with you, you will more likely be attacked. The average 16-60 year old won’t be attacked. Your kids will.
What a beautiful animal! You really don’t understand how formidable they are until you see one. At the same time, you can see how domesticated dogs evolved from them.
@@samuel-nq6he "domestic dogs" as they are so called did not evolve from wolves. Wolves are just another breed of dog. Animals do not evolve from different types of animals. Yes their are variations among the same kind of animal, but one kind of animal doesn't evolve into a different kind. Evolutionism is the oldest religion on the planet and they pass it off as science. I love science and evolutionism is not science
"Guys, you want believe me,but i'm tellign you,the Big Biped is real. I saw him. As close as the next Tree. That damn Biped,it was standign there on just 2 Legs. I thought i was done,but it didn't follow when i ran,maybe it was devauring someone else?"
sidecousin Wolves don’t run. They are super predators. If there is one there is 5 or ten around him. She was lucky. They don’t usually attack humans but the closer the den the mire ur fucked.
Thank you for the information. I saw 1 wolf close up on The Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota, he was walking along the side of the road & forest, myself in a car. Stopped & watched, beautiful animal.
We have wolves at our cabin in Manitoba, hear them quite often but only see them maybe once a year. Even had a pack go by me while walking the trails, a very rare treat and never thought I was in danger...
I love that howl of the wolf so much that I taught my kids how to play around and imitate the pack of howling under a full moon. What fun! We live in the city, so we were not disturbing any real wolves. However, it did disturb our neighbors. Hahahaha😆
Aaoooooo Werewolves of London Aaoooooo You hear him howling around your kitchen door You better not let him in Little old lady got mutilated late last night Werewolves of London again
I once had a friend leave his "dog" at my house because he couldn't take care of it. Weirdest dog I ever met but very smart. After a couple of months we took the "dog" to a vet who informed us it was not a dog but a Timberwolf. He now resides at a wildlife sanctuary in Texas.
Do you visit timberwolf occassionally? I can't imagine myself having a pet to be taken away from me after several months and not be allowed to visit it.
I lived in a house with a 3/4 wolf shepherd. (It killed all the cats.) One day I found myself next to it in a small room at the bottom of some stairs. Very close proximity, maybe a foot or two. It was threatened, showed me its massive fangs and growled. It was quite terrifying. I inched my way out the door as slowly as possible. I never went near it again.
I lived in Alaska for 25 years and miss hearing and seeing wolves. On one occasion I was walking upstream on a river bank and watched one walk towards me headed down stream. He got to within 20-30 yards before he finally stopped and paced side to side as though he was waiting for me to get out of the way. I stood my ground and he eventually turned around and headed back upstream. One of several Alaskan experiences I will never forget. I hope to see them here in Oregon.
"I had heard tales whispered amongst the pack, tales of bipedal creatures standing tall with confidence in their stride. They cannot sense which land is ours, or perhaps they do not care. Sometimes they travel in packs with a fellow canine to guide them, and sometimes they travel alone. We do not know if they are ignorant of pack territory or if they are here for a more malicious purpose, so we are advised by the Alpha to flee on sight if they are spotted. I pray to the moons that I do not encounter one any time soon..."
MrSlave00- To add on your comment: Humans are the king of endurance running in the animal kingdom. Our bipedalism lets us conserve energy. And rundown any quadrupedal to exhaustion.
When I was 19, working in the bush in northern British Columbia another worker and I stumbled upon a wolf den with five pups playing in the sunlight. No mother was in sight. As soon as the pups saw us they came running up and started to growl and crawl all over us, tearing at our clothing and nipping our fingers. We sat and played with them for about 30 minutes or so when I looked up and saw their mother sitting nearby, about ten feet, watching us. When the pups saw their mother they immediately ran over and started chewing on her. All she did was sniff each one and then just watched us. I am 77 now and remember that experience as though it were yesterday.
Once she realized you weren’t a threat (not a hunter/trapper) she was probably glad for the babysitting you did! 😂 I hope they all went on to have good lives.
@@erictalaveramartinez4160 I have no idea but suspect it was because she sensed that her pups were not being threatened or hurt so there would not be any need for attacking. As for mother bears being "death itself" I must disagree. A year after my wolf experience I was once again working in northern BC, in the Peace River area, as a camp cook for a timber cruising crew. One morning while getting ready to cook breakfast I heard a noise behind me and upon turning around I found myself face to face with three tiny brown bear cubs who were sitting about four feet away looking at me. Their mother was about fifteen feet behind them with her head inside our supply tent. One of the cubs made a noise and she backed out, swung around and we were eye to eye. I just quietly said hello and that I wasn't going to hurt her babies. By this time the cubs had moved behind and were checking out the prep table. Their mother made a rather strong grunting sound and moved around me and then moved the cubs to a nearby pine tree. She smacked each one once and up the tree they climbed. She sat at the bottom facing me and I returned to my work. They remained there for almost two hours watching while the crew ate breakfast and only left when the helicopter fired up. We were in that location for a month and sadly I never saw them again. I think it is a mistake to assume all wild animals are viscious and will attack.
@@MaskOfCinder In Skyrim you can literally be wearing Daedric armor, have a giant snowstorm around you, and throw fireballs everywhere, and wolves still try to attack you lol.
Consider that wolves in OUR world have been hunted by humans for thousands of years at this point. They KNOW we are their biggest threat. In video games, an argument could be made that wolves haven't been hunted as long, or to the same extent.
I haven't encountered wolves, but one time I was hiking along the Pacific Crest Trail through the Mount Laguna area and the trail meandered from wide vistas of the desert below into areas of mixed pine forest. It was in one of the areas in the forest when suddenly I'm surrounded by many howling and barking sounds from coyotes but only a few in sight. I was shocked at the sudden aspect of it more than fearful of the ones in sight. Hearing those wolves barking and howling together totally reminded me of that experience.
I did that to a black bear that had walked right up next to me in the woods. I had my knife out ready to start jabbing and yelling ‘GIT!’ Turned out to be a freeking dog that moaned just like a black bear.
Ikr! I dunno why everyone got so afraid of wolves. I think they're misunderstood because they were hunting on the livestock before but they're really gorgeous and interesting animals. Though any animal is dangerous to come to if you don't know them well, but still I don't think wolves are the most dangerous that you can encounter in the woods 😅
Several years ago while hunting caribou near the Arctic Circle, I had an Arctic wolf come within arms reach of me. It was a young female, approx. 6 months old. She saw me as I was sitting waiting to spot caribou. She came directly to me and began making play postures like a puppy or young dog. She had never seen a human and had no idea what I was. It was an amazing experience! No fear on her part or mine.
@@jackienguyen100 No, I actually tried to discourage it. The non-natives can't shoot wolves, but the natives can. I did not want her to think people were all going to be nice and have her get shot.
can you imagine happily playing in the woods and you hear a silent noise, you look up and see a very elongated, white creature staring back at you. It must feel like seeing slenderman
Actually, WE ARE SLENDERMAN. Our species method of hunting is called Persistence hunting, basically, we would stalk an animal that usually had to stop to pant and cool off while we just kept running, since we can sweat and have no fur [hair] that's enough for us t cool off and we don't have to stop and rest. You're a dear in the Savannas when you see the harbingers of death the tall creatures your ancestors warned you about, you may outrun a lion, evade a hyena, fool a fox, but with these things... You can run but you can't hide from them, no matter how fast you go, how far you travel you will see them behind you each time you stop, they get closer and closer until finally, you can take it no more, you collapse panting, losing consciousness, to never open your eyes ever again.
@@Abdessamad_Ajdar Not sure what animals you think could be caught in that scenario with humans... Were we all marathoners back in the hunter-gatherer days?
@@mickeydrago9401 We still are "marathoners", the modern human is healthier than our ancestors were, most of us are just out of shape that's all. Anyone can gain the stamina back by working out and training.
Love that little moment of wolf vulnerability when it first heard and saw you then ran off. Also how just before that, the way it was just bounding along happily in it's own little world 😂💛
Did you know you can save yourself from a pack or wolves that are attacking you with a single 22 LR round? Well you can, but your friend that you shot in the knee probably won't appreciate it
@@stabbityjoe7588 Oh I know, when I lived in the south you were allowed to shoot coyotes at any time of the year. There were no seasons, no tags, you were just allowed to blow them away if they were being "nuisance animals" as they were called
Carrying a gun fixes literally every possible animal issue when hiking but for some reason people would rather just get eaten alive. I will NEVER understand it.
@@user-yr7mf3fr3e Actually they dont. Deforestation and hunting them eventually made them extinct in England. There have been talks of reintroducing them for years.
Human: *makes noise to alert wolf of their presence* Wolf: oop, that's a that's a human, goodbye Wolf: *barks when a human is nearby* Human: oop, that's a wolf, goodbye
I encountered a wolf once when I was hiking. It was on its own and was the most beautiful majestic animal. I had come to a clearing and it was standing still on the other side. It did not seem shocked or frightened, to this day, many years later, I remember its eyes as it looked directly into mine. I just stood still and made no noise or movement and after it had looked at me for what seemed ages but was probably just a minute, it just slowly turned and walked away into the trees as if I was of no importance to it or its day. I still remember its beatiful head and stunning eyes. Afterwards, I did think it strange that it looked me directly into my eyes, as a dog does not do that. I felt that it was confident in its domain and had allowed me to enter it and pass thru. They are just wonderful animals.
"As it got closer, I said something quietly to alert the wolf" By something she meant "Excuse me, we've been trying to contact you about your extended warranty"
I encountered a lone wolf once. I was running on a dirt road in the mountains when I heard some brisk movement coming from the bushes to my side. I stopped and noticed a single wolf dash up to a split-off, uphill road. He just stood there and we stared at each other in silence for a good 30 seconds, about 10 metres apart. He was the first to shift his gaze and then we both calmly went our separate ways. Whilst startled initially (he didn't see me coming), he seemed cautiously curious afterwards, if nothing else. What's stranger still is that wolves were, supposedly, extinct in that specific region for decades.
Let it know you are there, and don't antagonize it. Keep your distance (slowly back away, do not run or turn) and the bear will leave you alone. If it knows you are there (can see and hear you) it will likely leave you alone unless it feels threatened. If it happens to be a black bear that you encounter, make yourself large and loud. They run away
@@rathnabhatt2456 it was me and 2 friends, we dropped our bags and sprinted. As we were running we could hear wolves behind us and see wolves running along side us trying to cut us off also also. We managed to get out of the woods which led to the back of some country houses. We looked back and the wolfs didn't leave the treeline. We went down to the house and spoke to the resident, he reckoned that they were just chasing us away, because if they wanted us dead, they'd have caught us easily. He also said wolves don't leave the woods on that side anymore for fear of being shot as they used to take chickens and stuff. Romania is a crazy place, amazing scenery and the people are so lovely. As an Irish person that visited, I'd recommend it.
In the habitat of bears, you need to carry a whistle with you, as loud whistling scares them away. Also, the whistle must necessarily be yellow (yellow in the wild is most often a sign of toxicity). You need to move through the forest carefully, avoiding bear feces. It is very easy to identify bear feces, yellow whistles are usually present in it.
