Sea Wolves of British Columbia

- The coastal or sea wolves of British Columbia are a genetically distinct subspecies of grey wolf that inhabit the windswept coast and coastal islands of northwest British Columbia. Deriving as much as 75% of their diet directly from the sea, watch this short doc to learn more about these unique and truly distinct wolves.
I love that you study wild animals in their natural habitat. Wolves need a lot of habitat and we need wolves.
Yes indeed, studying them in their natural habitat is the only way to really get to know wildlife, and yes I agree, wolves are an essential part of this ecosystem.
As a hunter in BC, I do not hunt wolves or black bears, because I feel too much respect for them. However, it should be said that wolves, or black bears are not threatened by any sort of hunting at all, but by logging, development and loss of wild habitat.
Agreed, yet the reality is that trophy hunts happen quite regularly. Tough to believe these are still a thing, tho ~ especially for wolves.
Fwiw, I may be vegetarian, but I'm realistic. Imo, moral subsistence hunters get their food more humanely than how the USDA harvests. (I realize most people don't have access to hunted meat, as well.)
Peace.🐾🙋🌎
I’m a vegan but wholly support subsistent hunting, fishing is the great catastrophe to our world. I just watched Seaspiracy and it was game changing. A must watch!
Is your hunting necessary for your survival? Some day, humans might be farther down the food chain.
So much wildlife is threatened by unrestrained "development". How do we curb them? When they are gone, they are gone forever. At least until human beings are gone forever and can no longer threaten by their lust for profit.
Ehh...shouldn't we have more respect for the animal that feeds us? I mean I understand what you are saying...but does that mean that you only eat animals you don't respect? I'm not sure that idea plays out...we are all part of the same system...all equal in value...IMO
That was really beautiful and also poetic. The soft music was lovely. Thanks.
Than you so much, I'm very happy that you enjoyed the film.
I did a double take when I saw how few subscribers your channel has. Only then did I realise yours is not a fancy documentary channel but indeed a single person's work.
My compliments for your outstanding professionalism. This video about sea wolves has everything it takes including a pleasant and clear narrator's voice (your own, I suppose?). Please, keep up this excellent work.
Yes my channel is the work of a single person (myself) and for that reason I often refer to my docs as a "One Man Band" production. Thank you for your kind comments and support of my work, I'm very glad you enjoyed this film.
@@rickandrewsfilms1667 Because of that, I will be subscribing now... Count me in... 😊
@@ard8785 again, thank you so much. 😁
@@ard8785. Likewise
I was thinking the same thing. Very nice work. Great story telling
What a beautiful filming! Those wolves are so gorgeous!
Thank you, very happy you enjoyed the film.
I guess you haven't seen a pack of them covered in blood, in a mad bloodlust, killing everything in their path, leaving a dead trail of livestock they never intend to eat.
EVERYONE needs to witness that, and then tell me it's a good idea to keep reintroducing these killers
Excellent documentary! I had a wolf dog while growing up in Oklahoma. Amigo lived 19 years, bred with wild wolves, and was the smartest animal I've ever been around. Wolves hold a special place in my heart. Live long, Sea Wolves. And prosper.
Thank you Vicki, I'm glad you enjoyed this film. Your life with Amigo is enviable, happy you got to experience it.
@rickandrewsfilms1667 Thank you. I am too.
A wonderful film, the time and effort spent must have been enormous, but so worth it! You’ve done a masterful job in all aspects, but easier to do in such a magical location with a fascinating subject. Congratulations!
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it.
This is a beautiful film about my favorite wolf subspecies. Thank you for sharing it. I'll keep an eye out for more of your art!
Thank you, I'm very glad you enjoyed the film.
excellent production superb narration and oratory skills. perfect choreography and perfect music. greatly appreciated
Thank you for the kind comments Enoch, very much appreciated.
Really excellent footage and information. Amazing wolves and thanks for sharing.
Thank you Neil
This is the most positive and uplifting vid I've seen in a long time... Thank you..
🐾🐾🐾🐾
Thank you very much, I'm so glad you enjoyed this film. 😁
Thank you, beautiful film!
Thank you Jane, very glad you enjoyed it.
Great video Rick. You have a lot of superb footage in here. The storytelling is spot on as well. Nicely done.
Thank you Henrik, very glad you enjoyed the film.
Thank you for the time and effort to all those involved in this film. The closeness of the shots couldn't have happened with some serious time investment getting the wolves to let their guards down.
Thank you for your kind comments, I'm really glad that you enjoyed this documentary which was a pleasure to film.
Well filmed....love the history of wolves , thanks...enjoyed it...
Until I read the term 'history of wolves', had never pondered it... Checking it out now. Merci
When I was younger I worked on a commercial fishing boat and the island we anchored behind had wolves and we got to see them come out to the beaches right before sundown every night. They were fascinating to watch as they scavenged and played. I didn’t realize at the time how special it was to experience it. If anyone comes to the area and wants to see them I would suggest scanning the surf line as the suns going down as it seems like that’s when they like to roam the beach.
Thanks for sharing this Rob, very interesting.
No matter what you said about the wolves, they are the most gorgeous animal in the world! One day, I will visit the Canada before I die (cross fingers)! We need more wolves in USA for Eco system.
Thanks you, I agree wolves are very special animals that help balance our ecosystems. I was very privileged to spend a few days filming them, I hope you too get an opportunity to do that one day.
Man wildlife are so threatened by whitey man on all fronts.
Beautiful video! Thank you so much for posting.
Thank you Tim, and thanks also for watching the video. Glad you enjoyed it.

Amazing video .great job
Thank you Miguel, I'm really happy you enjoyed it.
Wonderful video! Even with a short attention span, it was easy for me to watch and very pleasant! The music is fitting, your voice is calm and you give exactly the information I wanted to learn.
Thank you so much, your comments help me stay on track with my videos. I'm glad you enjoyed this one.
Such an interesting and enjoyable video. Thank you😊
Very happy you enjoyed this video Mary, thank you for your kind comments.
This video was so well done, I would compare it to National Geographic work!!!
Thank you so much Vern, I greatly appreciate your comments and I'm very happy you enjoyed my film. 😁
Thank you for this beautiful look into our amazing forest in BC.
You’re welcome Kim, glad you enjoyed it.
This tells me fish is a very very healthy food
Yes indeed, as long as its wild fish, not farmed.
Amazing ❤.
Beautiful music with it
Glad you enjoyed it.
I love Wolf Song, it just enters my heart and makes it smile.
It is a very endearing and soulful sound.
Awesome film
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the film.
Those are the skinniest wolves I have ever seen on film. Apparently they do not eat much fat in that island environment. They can catch salmon just as easily as bears but just eating the brain is not much food. A bear eats the skin and brain and eggs. I lived in Alaska for many years and the wolves there had a big winter to live through so they look much heavier than those in this film. Yes wolves eat black bear but mostly just the cubs.
Yes the wolves are lean here compared to others that live say in Yellowstone or Alaska. They do hunt and eat seals which may be their biggest source of fat, and like all wolves, they will scavenge what they can.
Well done sir 👍🏼
Thank you Devlin.
The wolves here look like Brown Hyena in SA . Quite timid. Loved the Docu.
Thank you so much.
Excellent narration good clear voice. Great work.
Thank you Paul, I do my best. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@rickandrewsfilms1667 Yes Rick you have a very good narration style. The script is well written. And your pausing is just perfect. You don’t talk too quickly. But also your voice is very good. It’s got the right tone and timber to it. Your videos are of professional quality. Don’t be discouraged that you don’t get more comments. What I appreciated will be also appreciated by others except they don’t comment. Keep up the good work. 👍🍀😊
@@rickandrewsfilms1667 By the way Rick do you believe in God. In my twenties I used to like watching the animal kingdom on TV. And now I’m 76 I’ve returned to it again. The sea wolves was interesting. I’m still thinking about it. Did they really swim that far. When I was 40 I got on the God trip and I’m mixing into the equation the greatness of God’s creation and it’s provoking more thought. In one of your scenes I thought I saw a Bar Tailed Godwit. They fly non stop from Alaska to here in New Zealand. It takes about 5 days and it’s about 11,000 kilometres. They amaze me. Then when the season changes they fly all the way back to where they have come from.
I can’t wait for you to get monetized so that I can send you money via thanks ❤
Even your second music track is the one I used for my Christian meditations. I’m so relaxed watching this. I feel so happy 😃
I just love the unique combination of peaceful music with such breath-taking content! And your voice is peaceful ❤
I’m gonna auto-play your channel to help you get monetized ❤
Thank you so much Anna, I greatly appreciate your comments and I'm very happy that you enjoy my films. 😁
This is now my favorite channel! I so love your music, voice, content’s substance, EVERYTHING!!!! I used this very music to record my Christian meditations, so I can absolutely feel relaxed and happy watching this educational video. Thank you! Thank you. Thank you ❤
Thank you Anna, I am so glad that you like my channel, please stay tuned, there will be more to come.
@@rickandrewsfilms1667 Your work is phenomenal and one of a kind as far as the combination of peaceful music, peaceful voice, and educational content of high quality.
@@AnnaSzabo Thank you again, you are too kind.
This was absolutely phenomenal. I would love to accompany you in filming in the Lower 48 in and around The Greater Yellowstone Area if you’d ever be interested. 😊
Thank you very much Martin, I will keep that in mind if I'm ever in that area again.
When you talked about some of the wolves being curious enough to approach, does that mean you were actually standing there in person filming? That's amazing. They all seemed so calm and friendly. Wouldn't surprise me at all if many generations ago they lived alongside humans.
Yes that's correct, all of this footage was collected while we were there filming in person. To see how it was done check out the behind the scenes footage at th-cam.com/video/yGPrSwuKHlQ/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching.
@@rickandrewsfilms1667 Oh wow. Thanks for the reply!
Beautiful.
Thank you Pat.
We have sea wolves living here in Tahsis
@@patgray2569 Very Cool!
The Sea Wolf (Canis crassodon) is a large dog native to the western coasts of Canada, there are three recognized subspecies: the Columbian Wolf (Canis crassodon columbianus), the Vancouver Island Wolf (Canis crassodon crassodon), and the Archipelago Wolf (Canis crassodon ligoni).
Thanks for this info Indy, much appreciated.
This isn't quite accurate - the study you're referring to "proposed that Canis lupus ligoni (Alexander Archipelago wolf), Canis lupus columbianus (British Columbia wolf), and Canis lupus crassodon (Vancouver Island wolf) should be recognized as a single subspecies of Canis lupus." (to quote wiki)
Such beautiful animals . We could live together , if we were not over greedy.
If I was a farmer with livestock , and I spot wolves feeding on one of them , I will leave it for the sake of the one who created all of us and protect my livestock somehow , perhaps He will reward you with something better as long as you spare their lives and let them enjoy the fiesta .
Our indigenous Coastal First Nations people have lived in harmony with wolves for millennia, so it is possible.
The actual video starts at 2:59
Maybe in the next life I'll be a seawolf!
Weust protect this smazong animals, they are Majestic
Yes indeed Oscar.
❤
Aaaaarrrrrrwwwooooooo!
🌿🌻🌿✌️🤔👍
They look hungry. Very thin. Not much food on those islands.
They are healthy and can make a living with the available food sources.

Came from Netflix sea wovuls
Not sure what you mean Chathura, this video was filmed by me with additional footage from some of my fellow photographers and guides on the west coast of Canada. Have you seen it on Netflix?
@@rickandrewsfilms1667 no there is tv series of sea wovuls. I saw it trailer. Then this video has recommended by u tube.
And This video is superb. Keep Going on 😎
Is it Canada?
@@chathuralakshen9909 ah thank you. yes it is filmed in Canada.
Same here. This short video, however, is much better! In my opinion the Netflix documentary on this subject is terrible! Most annoying narrating, in particular, since they give the animals names like they were people. In conjunction with the artificially construed stories (e.g. the "problem" that sea otters constantly geht seperated from each other due to gray whales 😀) the netflix documentation (which doesn't deserve the name) is simply unbearable.
@@Frederob 🤦 Popular programming is how companies get viewers. Anthropomorphicizing may even help young people care more about fauna. Not a bad thing at any level.
Beautiful animals. No hunting should be allowed anymore.
Yes they are indeed beautiful animals.
The sea wolves?? Give it a rest. They are wolves. They eat what they can get. Living on an island, what else are they going to do but look for food along the shore ? Go to MacDonald's?
Thanks for watching.
Great footage, just not much of the wolves and their behavior. Script is heavily agenda driven and has a lot of speculation without much actual info about the animals and their habitat. Also just not a good script.
Thank you for your feedback.
