@@iwjfhaifn2950 well a guy who documented the arctic life on the upper part of canada didn't get attack by a passing wolf pack. The reason is he's not doing funny movement,he makes sure the wolves knows he's there by making noise(not via screaming or other startling noise whatsoever) and he just let the wolves be and the wolf pack naturally just ignored him and proceeds finding polar bear cubs to hunt.
They started feeding them meat I imagine. They're pack animals so if you're supplying them food they would love having you about hahaha. Then they began breeding them together. Then I imagine they used them for protection of their caves and took them out with them when they were hunting and gathering. Honestly it's pretty fucking badass. Having and breeding wolves 10,000 years ago and running about with them would have been intimidating as fuck for predators and competitors too. What a boss.
@The Amos Tree a pretty good theory is that it was something progressive and natural, the groups of nomadic humans probably left some rests of food along the way, that were pretty much free food, wolves would learn to follow the groups bc of the free food and humans would not kill them bc they served as an alarm, the wolves are familiar with that specific group of humans but not with others, in time the new generations of wolves lived all their lives watching and i suppose in some cases directly interacting with humans, eventually making them domesticated, not trained, big difference, a trained wild animal it's just that but a domesticated one has been conditioned across generations, in this case unintentionally, by having the more passive or friendly ones close across generations and killing those that were agresive to humans, thus having new now friendly wolves
Stephen Murphy I’m not sure where you live but in Saskatchewan people get attacked and killed by wolves (the largest timber wolves in the world btw). It is rare but it happens. Some news stories from the last decade or so: “26-year-old worker is recovering in a Saskatoon hospital after getting mauled by a lone wolf near the mine on early Monday. He was rescued by a security guard who interrupted the assault,” Next “On Dec. 31, 2004, Cameco miner Fred Desjarlais was jumped by a wolf outside the Key Lake mine. Desjarlais wrestled the wolf to submission before being rescued by a busload of co-workers.” “And then ten months later, Ontario geology student Kenton Carnegie was killed by wolves at Points North Landing, a mining supply camp in the same area as Key Lake. The young man had gone for a walk and didn't return.” I have encountered wolves on the drilling rigs in northern Alberta and B.C. as well as Saskatchewan and I can tell you, each time I saw them they didn’t seem friendly. They circled the camp trailers and the rig lease quite frequently and their body language was enough to give us all pause. The cooks wouldn’t take the garbage out without an escort of roughnecks. Anecdotally, a pack of wolves surrounded and attacked my friend and his young son who were hunting moose in the northern forests. He had to shoot two with his emergency sidearm to save their own lives. It’s not the wolves fault, they are fulfilling their role in nature, but they are certainly dangerous.

@@dave2808 It's said that our ancestor kept the wolves which were not that fierce. On the other hand those wolves we kept might have less Adrenal gland,which decreasing their aggression. Makes the wolves becoming dogs nowadays.
It's interesting to see how our wolves have come to fear us over the years, while these wolves who barely had any contact are just curious. Really shows what we did to this animal and our bond with it.
Yes, but it is not good for wild animals - especially predators - to not fear us. That is how they get killed. If they don't fear us they venture close to human settlements, like walking into a suburb. They can be just curious, but humans get causious and scared. So the animals get shot, for being to close. 😔
Like he said I think wolves are just as curious about us as we are curious about them. I think that's how they became man's best friend they have grown to have a mutual respect for us as we them
@@ahegaojosuke3250 bro are you alright? This comment section is to comment what you want as long as it doesn’t go beyond the guidelines. I don’t see role playing as a rule. And how was he even role playing?
"You are still a wolf" There is something just fascinating with wolves. First time I've seen one was at a zoo. 2 meters away, sitting against the fence. I thought "well, just looks like a cool dog". Then it started walking along the fence. I was instantly stunned. I could not explain what it was. The way it walked, the way it moved. Just in a few seconds it showed me what being wild and majestic really was. They are not just wild dogs, you need to see them in person to understand.
I had the pleasure of seeing them howl together at the zoo. And yes, they are not just like dogs; they're stature is different, they're taller than the typical dog, faster, stronger, and have larger teeth and jaws, almost like a german shepard on steriods. When they run I think they have longer strides and generally move faster than dogs with a slower leg movements facilitated by the longer strides. I know what you mean though, seeing a wolf up close gives you a good sense of how different they are from dogs.
Yes, but it's not a good idea from an ecological perspective. Also, the next human he encounters might have bad intentions and he may suffer due to trusting humans.
Finally, someone with good sense. The wolves were studying and sizing him up for the attack. The more comfortable they appear the more deadly they are.
Everybody gangsta until Wolf does the same holding a camera with a secondary camerawolf in a human neighborhood . Wolf - This human seems quite nervous"
They seem to like the first human they've ever met. "what is this creature? oh it's nice!" Hopefully no one makes this a tourist attraction. It's already in the middle of nowhere, far away from human civilisation.
Their reputation as blood thirsty beasts is about as overblown as one can be. They are intelligent, cautious, alert and aloof. They deserve amour respect far more than they deserve our fear!
they are litteraly just little bigger dogs nothing more nothing less. anyone who has seen a actual real wild big dog knows that they behave like wolfs. the reason domesticated dogs and wild dogs in cities don't behave like wolfs is because it's a different environment that favours different personalities. but yeah a actual real wild dog that does all it's own hunting is just a little smaller wolf
never run away from a dog you think is going to attack, that's the best way to end up getting attacked. Treat it like a bear, back away slow, make lots of noise, don't turn your back, hold your arms out and chest up to make your self look bigger
Pitbulls are worse than wolves. Wolves naturally fear humans and keep their distance. Some of tthem become curious and come closer but they almost never attack humans. A pitbull is more dangerous than a wolf and can attack us with intent to kill.
@@jumpvelocity3953 That is true, but still yet wolves are not mindless creatures that kill for sport. Connections with wild animals can happen, between both the human and animal. So it's not all fantasy. You just need to know how to act in these situations or the wolf will attack you. I swear schools need to have some kind of class so people can learn about basic animal behavior. So many people get hurt because they didn't know what to do or they were being stupid.
@@laylonlee229 what I was calling fantasy was the idea that wolves behave the same as humans with the same societal structure, same technologies, it’s basically personification you would see in children’s books.
They are beautiful ... but wild. The problem with letting them get close to you is that if the pack attacks you, you have to tranquilize them or kill them which is very unfair to them. Hence, no contact is probably the best strategy despite our natural and their natural curiosity.
Gorgeous and majestic animals! I love how curious they were and how calm they were too. A little hesitant, but they didn’t feel threatened. Awesome clip.
40 years ago I had a pack of the most beautiful white wolves trot right past me while I was hiking in the Canadian Rockies (NBT)- they passed so close I could reach out and touch them. I was on the trail, they came in the other direction from around a bend and went straight off into the woods- I honestly thought someone was walking their dogs until I realized there was no owner walking behind them. Pretty cool, memorable experience.
@@lk3023 Yeah, they didn't do that. Most likely it was a case of the humans threw scraps of food outside camp, wolves eat food and fuck off... Come back next time and humans throw more food outside camp, rinse and repeat for generations, wolves become more naturally relaxed around humans as they're being fed an easy meal... Eventually wolves come near fire for warmth in winter ect, human gives more food.... 30,000 years later we have the Pug, how far the canine world has fallen.
@@dodo19923 That might be true, but wolves aren't what evolved into dogs. There were wolves and another kind of canine that was a cousin to the wolf and that's what became the dogs today. Wolves and dogs, even before we tamed them, had a common ancestor. So really, dogs didn't come from wolves. They are more like very similar cousins.
@@laylonlee229 actually dogs did come from the gray wolf but they came from an extinct subspecies that has no living wolf descendants. The Trinil tiger and the Siberian tiger are the same species but one is around today and the other is not. Same concept
Amazing, this is like the first step humans made in past to domesticate this type of animals. Is like canine and humans were created for the need of each other.
+TheDragonCourier They may have been trained as herders of prey. A wolf can just as easily scare away prey as well as accidentally get hit by whatever sharp shit hunter-gatherers used to chuck at things they wanted to stop moving. But having herders is extremely useful and makes ambush hunting much easier.
I think the narrator got it right. They are curious, and want to get closer.. but they are just as worried about the other becoming aggressive as the narrator is.. so it's very careful and while staying very alert.. It *is* indeed not all that hard to see how wolves turned into "man's best friend".. They are also very friendly with corvids (crows, ravens, etc.) so being tolerant of "non wolves" in and around their packs seems to be a wolf thing.. they feel pretty comfortable being friendly cross species..
I think another thing worthy of consideration is that while the science is inconclusive on the subject. It seems that predators generally don't predate on other predators unless there is pressure to do so.. A lack of herbivores or too much competition in the area. Still, you've got to love that they are as interested in us as we are in them.
@@bradhaines3142 Yep, and for little reward. I don't know if you've ever seen cooked cats and dogs. But there ain't much meat on them. And no fat to replace the valuable energy spent.
paxwallacejazz Yeah, there was a story on the news a while back refuting this (with a "first" attack) but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.. Healthy wolves that don't feel threatened don't attack humans.. wish we could say the reverse..
Yes there are lots of documented cases of wolves killing humans. They're not as dangerous as some other animals though. Tigers, sharks, crocodiles, polar bears are miles worse
nick supreme yeah, there is a very dangerous animal on this clip, responsible for not only needless death and suffering of other animals, and their own kind, but even extinction of entire species. Oh! and there is a wolf too..
Actually wolves are coming back to Germany - mainly from Eastern Europe. And as they are under conservation most of them don´t fear men. Sometimes they walk through villages or residential areas and the authorities are beginning to worry bout that. But there wasn´t a single case that they attacked a human being.
Bro this makes me so happy. Like most of the comments are recognising how afraid the wolves are and how harmless they are when they aren't being treated. It's so precious
@@qm230 who me or her? Feeding wild Animals will give them an Idea that Humans are food suppliers. That's a bad thing and even rangers will tell you this.
He does have a point. No other race does this. Even the Native Americans give nature their proper distance unless they're hunting animals for food or clothing. Though I'm sure if you search long enough you can find a rare exception. But most of the time, that's who goes out and does these things.
Wolves sense fear and it activates predator responses in them. The safest thing to be around a wolf pack is confident and in control of your emotions. Then you sit down and give them the biggest, toothiest smile you can as a greeting, the friendly ones will come up and click teeth with you, it’s like a handshake. But the first time it happens you legit think the wolf is gonna eat your face, so that’s fun. Of course that’s only in wolves that are used to seeing humans around and not being shot by them.
@bobwatters I think you should just have some common sense. Realize that they are wild animals and aren't driven by rationality. They aren't dogs and aren't accustomed to be with humans, and could strike at any second even if they appear cute and friendly. Be prepared to defend yourself.
I like to think scruffy still remembers his human friend even tho he may never see him or any other human again. He’d be in his prime by now and possibly leading his own pack.

It's interesting to see how our wolves have come to fear us over the years, while these wolves who barely had any contact are just curious. Really shows what we did to this animal and our bond with it.
Yes, but it is not good for wild animals - especially predators - to not fear us. That is how they get killed.
If they don't fear us they venture close to human settlements, like walking into a suburb. They can be just curious, but humans get causious and scared. So the animals get shot, for being to close. 😔

"You are still a wolf"
There is something just fascinating with wolves.
First time I've seen one was at a zoo.
2 meters away, sitting against the fence.
I thought "well, just looks like a cool dog".
Then it started walking along the fence.
I was instantly stunned.
I could not explain what it was.
The way it walked, the way it moved.
Just in a few seconds it showed me what being wild and majestic really was.
They are not just wild dogs, you need to see them in person to understand.
I had the pleasure of seeing them howl together at the zoo. And yes, they are not just like dogs; they're stature is different, they're taller than the typical dog, faster, stronger, and have larger teeth and jaws, almost like a german shepard on steriods. When they run I think they have longer strides and generally move faster than dogs with a slower leg movements facilitated by the longer strides.
I know what you mean though, seeing a wolf up close gives you a good sense of how different they are from dogs.
He is hungry look at the wolf give him food will love you
Yes, but it's not a good idea from an ecological perspective. Also, the next human he encounters might have bad intentions and he may suffer due to trusting humans.
Well, he is the food I mean
Nobody Tarot probably made a Minecraft joke.
Your english gave me cancer
He's not out there trying to get himself a pet 😂😂
Let's be honest, he was definitely smelling him to see if he was past expiration date, before he called in the pack to snack on this guy.

Hopefully no one makes this a tourist attraction. It's already in the middle of nowhere, far away from human civilisation.
Wolves are brilliant creatures, it is amazing how quickly a strong bond can be built with them.
It would be AMAZING to be able to do this
Their reputation as blood thirsty beasts is about as overblown as one can be. They are intelligent, cautious, alert and aloof. They deserve amour respect far more than they deserve our fear!
They deserve both.
they are litteraly just little bigger dogs nothing more nothing less. anyone who has seen a actual real wild big dog knows that they behave like wolfs. the reason domesticated dogs and wild dogs in cities don't behave like wolfs is because it's a different environment that favours different personalities. but yeah a actual real wild dog that does all it's own hunting is just a little smaller wolf
He showed the dominance with that smelly boots

That's me. I low-key would love to be that guy, but I also flinch at a poodle if it acts funny
never run away from a dog you think is going to attack, that's the best way to end up getting attacked. Treat it like a bear, back away slow, make lots of noise, don't turn your back, hold your arms out and chest up to make your self look bigger
Pitbulls are worse than wolves. Wolves naturally fear humans and keep their distance. Some of tthem become curious and come closer but they almost never attack humans. A pitbull is more dangerous than a wolf and can attack us with intent to kill.
I love how Scruffy is well more behaved than most domesticated dogs I’ve met.
*He is still a wolf tho and deserves respect.*
"Lion may be the king of jungle but wolf never performs in circus"...
Never realize this. Interesting.
Well obviously because a wolf just looks like a slightly bigger dog. What fun would it be to see a slightly bigger dog do tricks in the circus.

Maybe the wolf was doing the same thing: “let me study this green-furred animal and shoot a mental documentary to share with my pack later.”
Maybe, most likely not. Fantasies like this is all it is, fantasies.
@@jumpvelocity3953 That is true, but still yet wolves are not mindless creatures that kill for sport. Connections with wild animals can happen, between both the human and animal. So it's not all fantasy. You just need to know how to act in these situations or the wolf will attack you. I swear schools need to have some kind of class so people can learn about basic animal behavior. So many people get hurt because they didn't know what to do or they were being stupid.
@@laylonlee229 what I was calling fantasy was the idea that wolves behave the same as humans with the same societal structure, same technologies, it’s basically personification you would see in children’s books.

@JumpVelocity well no shit Sherlock
Man: I haven’t wash in weeks

They are beautiful ... but wild. The problem with letting them get close to you is that if the pack attacks you, you have to tranquilize them or kill them which is very unfair to them. Hence, no contact is probably the best strategy despite our natural and their natural curiosity.
There's probably a bunch of them aiming at the wolves already, so the wolves didn't attack :v
its very very rare
I'm pretty sure the cameraman was well aware of that. Might have done this shortly after the wolves ate.

40 years ago I had a pack of the most beautiful white wolves trot right past me while I was hiking in the Canadian Rockies (NBT)- they passed so close I could reach out and touch them. I was on the trail, they came in the other direction from around a bend and went straight off into the woods- I honestly thought someone was walking their dogs until I realized there was no owner walking behind them. Pretty cool, memorable experience.

I think this was the moment when humans and dogs (wolf) first became friends tens of thousands of years ago.
Not really, they killed the parents and stole the pups and raised them
@@lk3023 really what did the neanderthals do?
@@lk3023 Yeah, they didn't do that. Most likely it was a case of the humans threw scraps of food outside camp, wolves eat food and fuck off... Come back next time and humans throw more food outside camp, rinse and repeat for generations, wolves become more naturally relaxed around humans as they're being fed an easy meal... Eventually wolves come near fire for warmth in winter ect, human gives more food.... 30,000 years later we have the Pug, how far the canine world has fallen.
@@dodo19923 That might be true, but wolves aren't what evolved into dogs. There were wolves and another kind of canine that was a cousin to the wolf and that's what became the dogs today. Wolves and dogs, even before we tamed them, had a common ancestor. So really, dogs didn't come from wolves. They are more like very similar cousins.
@@laylonlee229 actually dogs did come from the gray wolf but they came from an extinct subspecies that has no living wolf descendants. The Trinil tiger and the Siberian tiger are the same species but one is around today and the other is not. Same concept
Amazing, this is like the first step humans made in past to domesticate this type of animals. Is like canine and humans were created for the need of each other.
No just no
Javier Negron Lopez this is basically what people did a long time ago when dogs were domesticated from wolves.
+TheDragonCourier
They may have been trained as herders of prey.
A wolf can just as easily scare away prey as well as accidentally get hit by whatever sharp shit hunter-gatherers used to chuck at things they wanted to stop moving.
But having herders is extremely useful and makes ambush hunting much easier.
Ironically, there have been instances of monkeys using dogs as pets...
+TheDragonCourier actually wolves became dogs through a random gene mutation that our ancestors bred into generations of wolves to become dogs.
I think the narrator got it right. They are curious, and want to get closer.. but they are just as worried about the other becoming aggressive as the narrator is.. so it's very careful and while staying very alert..
It *is* indeed not all that hard to see how wolves turned into "man's best friend"..
They are also very friendly with corvids (crows, ravens, etc.) so being tolerant of "non wolves" in and around their packs seems to be a wolf thing.. they feel pretty comfortable being friendly cross species..
I think another thing worthy of consideration is that while the science is inconclusive on the subject. It seems that predators generally don't predate on other predators unless there is pressure to do so.. A lack of herbivores or too much competition in the area. Still, you've got to love that they are as interested in us as we are in them.
@@M3rVsT4H that's because another predator would be a LOT of work to bring down, so not ideal.
@@bradhaines3142 Yep, and for little reward. I don't know if you've ever seen cooked cats and dogs. But there ain't much meat on them. And no fat to replace the valuable energy spent.

Well there still is not even one documented case of a wolf killing a human being. I was able to make this statement at 12 and still can at 58.
paxwallacejazz Yeah, there was a story on the news a while back refuting this (with a "first" attack) but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.. Healthy wolves that don't feel threatened don't attack humans.. wish we could say the reverse..
Yes there are lots of documented cases of wolves killing humans. They're not as dangerous as some other animals though. Tigers, sharks, crocodiles, polar bears are miles worse
nick supreme yeah, there is a very dangerous animal on this clip, responsible for not only needless death and suffering of other animals, and their own kind, but even extinction of entire species. Oh! and there is a wolf too..
Actually wolves are coming back to Germany - mainly from Eastern Europe. And as they are under conservation most of them don´t fear men. Sometimes they walk through villages or residential areas and the authorities are beginning to worry bout that. But there wasn´t a single case that they attacked a human being.

NEVER stop fearing Scruffy. That’s when you will get attacked.
Just remember, you are just as capable of fucking up that Wolf way more than it is you. One knife can do massive damage.
Wolves sense fear and it activates predator responses in them. The safest thing to be around a wolf pack is confident and in control of your emotions. Then you sit down and give them the biggest, toothiest smile you can as a greeting, the friendly ones will come up and click teeth with you, it’s like a handshake.
But the first time it happens you legit think the wolf is gonna eat your face, so that’s fun. Of course that’s only in wolves that are used to seeing humans around and not being shot by them.
Show fear, and you're done.
If I got to pet scruffy before I died then I was satisfied with my life.
@bobwatters I think you should just have some common sense. Realize that they are wild animals and aren't driven by rationality. They aren't dogs and aren't accustomed to be with humans, and could strike at any second even if they appear cute and friendly. Be prepared to defend yourself.
