    For size scale for the wolf: Tibetan Mastiffs are about the same weight class as a wolf, which makes sense as it’s believed that Tibetan Mastiffs were herding dogs used to defend against them.
    Although mastiffs in general are still somewhat smaller height and length than a wolf. It’s still fascinating.
    Also: clarification: dogs were used to defend against wolves but more often than not it was the bark, not the bite. Deep barks like Maremmas and Mastiffs are still used in parts of Europe, although wolves are rare, they do exist and it’s a choice between shoot or dog and I’m choosing dog every single time (I’m a hunter. I could choose shoot. But dog is a win win situation: I get a friend, I don’t have to shoot an endangered animal, and the wolf gets to live)

    We used to have a German Shepherd who suffered some gene defects that basically allowed him to grow back into wolf size. For him, his first 3 years of life were full of growth pain, but when he was done, he had 110 pounds of pure lean muscle, his head was as wide as my (I'm a 6 foot man) torso (including shoulders), with paws the size of my hands including fingers. It's insane to think about that that's what's hidden in wolf's DNA, just waiting to be activated. My grandpa once said that he probably was "The only dog to fight a boar and walk away alive and victorious". But he was insanely friendly, cuddly and loving, he only wanted to cuddle and chill all day. I miss that big guy so much, he was my best friend...

    As someone who's handled more than a few rescued wolves and wolfdogs, THANK YOU for your continuing respect for these gorgeous animals. As much as I like referring to them as "spicy forest puppers", they do NOT mess around when they're motivated, and I really wish more people and dogs would remember that and leave them alone. (Also, don't send your dog after a bear either, anonymous dude in the clip. You don't know whether there are cubs in the neighborhood, and if there are you'll probably lose your dog.)

      Definitely agreed. There needs to be stricter regulations on ownership. My neighbor had a wolf when I was little and they let it out and it came into our yard and mauled me. It lasted a minute or less but it tore all the skin off my shoulder and was chomping down on my head before my grandpa scared it off. The only reason I survived was because the hood of my jacket stayed on. I think people forget they are capable of serious damage

He was like, 12 so he was pretty chill, but you definitely didn't want to mess with him. And you NEVER approached him first. Just looking at him you immediately understood the rules.

      I once saw something that looked exactly like the wolf in the video dead in the road. I thought it was a black bear, but the legs were clearly doglike, and it was definitely bear-sized.
      The problem is that this was in New Mexico, where the only wolves, the Mexican grey wolf, is the smallest species of wolf in North America. Plus it was black. I couldn't stop to examine it because it was at the entrance to a narrow bridge with no shoulder.
      I never did figure out what it was, but this was only a mile or so from a reservation where a coworker and I saw a _massive_ beaver, easily six feet long, that we _thought_ was dead.
      We got out of our cars and looked at it from just a few feet away and it never moved, but when my coworker went back with a camera to take pictures (this was before camera phones), it was gone, and there was no blood or bits of car at the site as there would have been if it had been hit as we had assumed. Maybe there's some timber wolves living on the rez, too, who knows?

      Cher Ami by Harry Webb Farrington (1926)
      Cher Ami, how do you do!
      Listen, let me talk to you; I'll not hurt you, don't you see?
      Come a little close to me. Little scrawny blue and white
      Messenger for men who fight,
      Tell me of the deep, red scar,
      There, just where no feathers are. What about your poor left leg?
      Tell me, Cher Ami, I beg. All the world is at a loss, How you won that Silver Cross. "The finest fun that came to me
      Was when I went with Whittlesey;
      We marched so fast, so far ahead!
      'We all are lost,' the keeper said; 'Mon Cher Ami - ­­that's my dear friend­­
      You are the one we'll have to send;
      The whole battalion now is lost, And you must win at any cost.' So with the message tied on tight; I flew up straight with all my might,
      Before I got up high enough, Those watchful guns began to puff.
      Machine ­gun bullets came like rain,
      You'd think I was an aeroplane; And when I started to the rear, My! the shot was coming near! But on I flew, straight as a bee; The wind could not catch up with me,
      Until I dropped out of the air, Into our own men's camp, it’s fair!
      But, Cher Ami, upon my word, You modest, modest little bird; Now don't you know that you forgot?
      Tell how your breast and leg were shot. Oh yes the day we crossed the Meuse
      I flew to Rampont with the news;
      Again the bullets came like hail, I thought for sure that I should fail.
      The bullets buzzed by like a bee,
      So close, it nearly frightened me;
      One struck the feathers of this sail,
      Another went right through my tail. But when I got back to the rear, I found they’d hit me, here and here;
      But that is nothing, never mind; Old Poilu, there is nearly blind.
      I only care for what they said, For when they saw the way I bled,
      And found in front a swollen lump,
      The message hanging from my stump The French and Mine said, 'Tres bien!'
      Or 'Very good' -- ­­American. Mon Cher Ami, you brought good news Our Army's gone across the Meuse! You surely had a lucky call! And so I'm glad. I guess that's all.
      I'll sit, so pardon me, I beg; It's hard a­standing on one leg!

She would put his whole head in her mouth , but not bite down, with him just sitting there looking happy about it. She was HUGE. If she put her front paws on my shoulders she still towered over me by a good head length. It was just amazing how something that large could be so gentle.

      You'd see these shots when the leader of the pack does it to the human, then when he was leader of the pack for some time, other wolves would kind of expect him to do it and be socially giddy and validated when he'd open his mouth for their heads to try and go in.

      Just a speculation but maybe that's why so many human species went extinct- those who couldn't defend themselves died out. And those who survived had no choice but to hunt the other animals to extinction. Maybe that's how humans even started forming communities. It was definitely much easier to be with a herd than be a lone human in the goddamn stone age when giant lizards were still around...

    • @hayvenforpeace
      @hayvenforpeace Год назад +2

      Early humans specifically hunted them to extinction, like they did to most of the other Pleistocene megafauna. Premodern -and especially pre-agricultural - human history is all about ecocide, wiping out prey animals and “inconvenient” species. Modernity gets so much flak for destroying the Earth, but this is actually the least environmentally destructive era since humans first appeared on this planet. Respect for other animals and the environment is a (relatively) recent innovation.
