Holan returns the favor of a 20 minute belly rub by cleaning me and making sure I don't have any bugs in my hair. At Wolf Mountain Sanctuary, Jan 18th, 2015.
@William Baker Just because they have existed for that long does not have to mean that they starting domesticating wolves then, that does not have to be 100% true. There is no set rule for that. They could have started later, like 10s or 100s of thousands of years later.
@@maytheforcebewithyou2701 maybe...but we no evidence suggesting their domestication earlier than that number. Until evidence to the contrary is unearthed that's the excepted approximate date. Get to digging if you disagree.
Heaven knows how many tens of thousands of years ago, someone brought home that first wolf pup, fed it, rubbed its belly, had faith in it, made it a friend. I can understand why.
such a wonderful thing to see, seeing a wild animal that treats a human like one of his own. Deffinately breaks down the concept that wolves are vicious and merciless predators
Most of the cases they are born /w humans. How most cheeta's, foxex, wolves are breed was around the 85's? They trapped hunderds of wild animals and breeded those who came near humans. And repeat. after 20 years foxes are starting to be allowed in certain states as "pets"
@@kannatheweeb8836 most animals are territorial, including humans. If lions knew how to use a gun to stretch its territory range, it would. We just happen to be smarter with thumbs that places on top of the food chain. We're all violent by nature.
Curty Langston we’re actually around the same place as pigs on the food chain! im assuming thats excluding the tools we use. were pretty dumb and useless considering we would not be able to defend ourselves at all without formidable machinery. animals that use their teeth and claws have so many advantages against us

@@Leroidesrois69 What? I think you've accidentally replied to the wrong comment. Did you want to reply to the comment just above mine? I never said anything about wolf differences. All I said was that this wolf reminds me of my dog, minus the eyes.
If anyone says that's not a dog your wrong. Wolves are the Largest pack of the dog family. So if you try saying "That's not a Dog," i've just proved you wrong.

wolf (lick lick lick lick) "hm.. this guy is almost ready for the feast" man: good boy wolf: he's so silly so naive. hahaha Sorry I had to. But that's one beautiful wolf
Looking back at this video years later just hit me that if Holan is still alive he is now around 8 years old...an old man! I'd love to see some updates on him 😭😭❤❤ plus FYI this also makes a good ASMR video ;)
I actually got to play and rough house with a wolf pup once. It was an amazing experience and an honor to get that close to one of the best animals in the world.
Two years old, mu gosh he is huge!! What a beautiful wolf!! I would love to have the honor of having this animal groom me like he just did so perfectly to you!!! Just a fantastic animal. Thank you for taking such good care of these wolf's. Thank you a zillion times!!!l❤❤❤❤❤❤🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺❤❤❤❤❤
Wild animals got captured and bred if they came close to humans. Or if they're born w a human sucg as cheetas. They will be different than any wild animal.
@@Algoth_Igneous As much as an excellent idea that is, we cannot move forward with it. Wild, predatory animals such as these majestic beings, they have aggressive instincts. Even while in captivity and years of domestication, the best we can do is either keep them within a large enclosure (a sanctuary, say) or release them back out in the wild.
Treat a puppy with love and it will remember it when it turns into an adult. This usually works with just about any animal. Bonds can be far stronger than instincts.
He's so sweet! He is the one I picked when I started donating monthly - tho i realize it goes to all of them, they are all beautiful and I fell in love with Holan - I can't wait to visit them all.
I come back occasionally. I know this video for years by now, not since the upload tho. It helps me sleep or relax. I love sound, but it's also, idk, when I see an animal that is happy at the moment and invested in its task, I feel connected in a way.
He likes whatever product you've used on your hair. Both the taste and the smell. That's why he's rubbing his head on yours, in addition to the licking -- he likes the scent so much he wants to take it with him to 'show' to others.
My little wolf is about 17 months now. We worked very diligently every day on how delicately she should set teeth on her humans. She greets and loves with her mouth and will touch her teeth to you, but she is very gentle and knows she has to be careful with us. Holan is sooooo pretty and sweet!
Lick lick lick rub rub. You are so lucky to have this kind of interaction with such a majestic creature. Its amazing how there are areas of the US where these pups were hunted to near extinction showed obvious signs of all ecosystems failing miserably and now in places where they are being reintroduced through massive conservation efforts, these dying areas are now coming back beautifully. Wolves are as important as they are gorgeous
That's sad, we had to reintegrate wolves back into some of britain/Scotland to help ecosystems recover by reducing deer population etc, that trample key areas. Soooooo...... FU*K the farmers (the other cause of habitat destruction), especially if they aren't looking after thier animals.
Essentially what the wolf is doing is making you part of his pack of 1, hes probably thinking this is an odd looking wolf with missing fur but he's my odd looking wolf now.
I love these wholesome videos of wolves being cuddly and affectionate. Wolves are my favorite animals, and it makes me very happy to see that others have seen the happy, cuddly, silly, lovey, smart, and beautiful sides of them, and not seeing them as or thinking they are just big, scary, mean animals. Wolves may be predatorial animals, but that doesn't mean that they're mean or scary. They're only that way if you threaten them or their Cubs.
20,000 years ago somewhere in Eurasia this same scenario played out between Man and his best friend.

Wolf: Hey, you have grey fur too. Let me clean it.
Wolf: licks
Me: "I expected as much"
Wolf: rubs entire face against guy
Me: D'aaaawww!
that's me when I says d'aaaaw
Didn't know some people are still active here.
Depends on if youtube decides you like these type of videos 😲 almost at 1 minute. The teeth !
It's even cuter when you realize WHY he is doing it. He is making him smell like his pack. He considers him family and wants him to smell as such.
I like these wolfvideos ,what a beauty !
Such a beautiful gentle and affectionate boy!
and the wolf was pretty cute too. ;D

People: "It took millennia of domestication to make wolves into affectionate dogs"
Wolves:
Well, it'd make sense for it to take millennia for the wolves to become dogs, like how we were once monke

I love it when wolves (and dogs) put their noses on the camera xxx
It reminds me of times when actual dogs have done it to me, makes me feel all giddy and ticklish.
i think of it as the dogs saying "what hte fuck is that?"
And those sniffing sounds they make.
The marks under his eyes are beautiful
yes and the wolf is good too
That’s one big doggo you have there
Yup we call it a wolf
Reminds me of my dog, except for those wolf eyes.

That's scent marking. Wolf enjoys the scent of whatever product the man has used on his hair, he wants it on himself, too.
I never seen a wolf like him before he's so cute 🥺
"No you can't have my sunglasses."
"Then take them off and we won't have that problem..."
He's not even looking at the sun.
Guys bon, t be rude
Guys bon, t be rude
They say, that here 5 years later, his neck is still clean.
2014-2015, when the world was relatively normal
AND THEN EVERYONE *DOOMED*
Maybe also until 2020
Yeah. 2020 was terrible. The entire world changed x the worse.
Aww he's scent marking you! So cute!💕 You're part of his pack
I watched videos on Disney Plus of wolves 🐺 and they were beautiful 😍 😻 🤩.
isnt it just so amazing how much wolfs and dogs love people...
wolves
Wolves are so precious they're like giant dogs, so cute☺
2:46 I love his little smirk you can tell the human is thoroughly enjoying Holan's wolf licks ❤🐺
The back of my head is tingling because of the ASMR effect or the fact that his camera is picking up every sound. I find ASMR very contenting 😆

Wolves live sixteen to eighteen years and and even upto twenty years old on very rare occasion. Eight years old he would still be in his prime.

I agree, and the wolf is nice too... ;)
Those eyes though❤ The color, shape and viciousness❤
What a privilege to interact with such a magnificent creature. I am in awe...and a little envious.
For some odd reason I got emotional while watching this. I'd love to go there!
I think he’s a beautiful and gentle affectionate young boy
Someday I would love to visit. I love these beautiful creatures. Thank God for people who take good care of them.
'he's very gentle'
as he smooshes his face into the back of his head, lol
Take care of a wolf, you're a part of their pack forever. This boi is just too wholesome.

I love Wolves but the sheep farmers here in Norway hate them because they kill sheep, but the farmers don`t actually take care of their sheep :(

You can love something and still be cautious and respectful. I love alligators, but I will shoot one if I have to.

I once raised Alaskan Malemutes. I owned a large male that looked nearly identical to your wolf Holan.
