    The Ottoman forces were attacked by wolves when they were fleeing the Carpathian mountains after the battle of sarikamish. If you aren't already planning on including that, that might be a good story for part 2
    Edit: It was the Caucus mountains, not the Carpathian mountains. My bad!

    Just to give an added perspective. I did wolf dog rescue for some years and had up to five of my own personnel wolf dogs ranging in content from 20% to 80+% wolf. When you live with them, sleep next to them and are one of their pack, you are indeed well protected and yes, loved deeply by them also. While they do take very special handling and containment they are amazing animals to share life with. Only a fool would ever lose sight of the fact that they are still wolves though. The difference and depth they show compared to a domestic dog gives you a very clear view of how weak both in body and mind the toughest of domestic dogs are. It's no wonder to me that so many people for thousands of years have considered them a mystical being. I've also see the incredible fear and hatred some people have for them despite having no experience with them, or even ever being around them. I live where wolves can indeed be and are, but there's also mountain lions, bears, moose and a whole assortment of animals that can end you. I don't fear that but I do have deep respect, keen awareness and stay well armed. The strongest fitest of men, looks and moves like an uncoordinated wounded animal to most of the above mentioned.

      I sincerely appreciate this. Thanks for taking the time to share this Montana.
      Ultimately, I hope my opening line "the very Earth we live on has been just as dangerous...if it is not respected" serves to address this very sentiment. Wolves are not something to be feared, but rather to be respected, both as a predator and for their beauty. As I say, we remarkably have much in common with them.
      The author of the story in this episode. Ernest Seton, is certainly worth mentioning. He spent much of his formative years in the Canadian wilderness and turned his experiences into a number of stories which, from the animal's perspective, demonstrated a sincere understanding of their nature. He also co-founded the Boy Scouts. Some of his stories about North American wolves were acquired as he spent time hunting them in the Southwest US in the late 19th Century. I would presume his hunting was intended for the preservation of wolves as much as humans--since both wished to reside in the same area. And yet, his stories characterized wolves (and other predators) not as evil, but as "compassionate, individualistic beings." He clearly respected them. I have likewise seen similar sentiments in books I've read, such as Gary Paulsen's "Hatchet" series.

      @@WartimeStories Hey thanks for taking the time to write such a kind reply. I did very much like the realistic, sensible and compassionate approach you took right away. As I'm sure Ernest Seton found, you can't spend time around them, even at a distance without seeing how powerful they are in both their ability to survive and their deep love of their own packs/families. I would say your right, that we should have much in common with them. That good Men and Women should strive to share that kind of fierceness and passion for their families. On the Military side, I'm a Morgan horseman. Morgans are the oldest true American horse breed and were also bred and used as Cavalry horses by the US government. They served in every war fought in the US from the Civil to the Second world war. I often say when I ride my Morgan, I'm riding a part of history.

      I prefer the term Lone Wolf to Mountain Hermit. It always sounded more... dignified.
      As a Scout, (Life) I never saw proper Wolves here in Ohio, even in remote hill-country. Only Cayotes, & Grassmen. (Could have been a huge hairy hunter tho, I didn't get a good look & I wasn't about to chase something the size of a upright bear. We do not have bears here in Ohio)
      That being said, we always spoke about 'what to do if x attacks'. Moose = Get out of Reach & don't make eye-contact.
      Bear = Stay alert, because they can smell you for leagues away down-wind. In bear country, you NEED to be armed. Aim for the legs & RUN if you are charged. Get out of reach, in a tree if only available but Bears can wait for 4+ days (especially if you angered it or it's cubs) for you to fall out of a tree.
      Wolves = Depends, but if it's more then 10+ you need to kill yourself. Save your last bullet for yourself. You may be able to shove your fist PERFECTLY into it's mouth (to avoid a forearm or elbow savaging) & grab it's tongue while punching it in the neck or balls (if it's male) but you will NOT be able to have any meaningful fight against more then 1 Proper Alpha Hunting Wolf. If you can't get out of reach, you're going to be Wolf Food.
      (IMHO, You can scare away most animals (especially with a .44 or .45) but Racoons were my worst fear. Rabies shots are very painful & you have to get them if you get bitten ONCE by a curious / aggressive Racoon. I would feed a Racoon rather then fight it, I'm that freaked by them. I've never had a pack of wolves try to get into my tent but I have had a pack of +10 Racoons try to paw/bite into my tent walls. I was imagining Zombie Racoons, btw)

      Dogs were put here to teach Humans how to live, IMHO. Wolves, are Dogs before they started hanging around our garbage-dumps looking for free food.

    I have a friend living in alaska that is an avid Hunter. He’s told me multiple times that while out in the wilderness the wolves tend to keep tabs on people and always know where they are at. He said you’ll only catch a glimpse but they’re always there and always watching. He said looking at one is not so much scary as it is ethereal, like seeing a spirit among the trees. Apparently looking into their eyes is like looking at a person and their intelligence is blatantly apparent.

      Years late but I too live in Alaska, and I work for the pipeline above the arctic circle where there are no trees. They are indeed always around, and you definitely rarely see them. But sometimes they just don't seem to care. I recently saw the whole pack (about 8) that lives in my valley where I work, just chilling next to the road. The first time I saw one up close two of them were trotting along the road single file, maybe 10 feet away and I was driving the opposite direction. It was mid winter, foggy, and dusk. As we passed each other, I made eye contact with the lead wolf. Large and black. The look on his face was one of complete indifference. Had no fear of me. And looking into his eyes was spiritual. I still get goosebumps every time I think about it.

      The same saltwater croc nightmare horror happened in the WW2 Papua New Guinea Buna/Gona/Wewak campaign amongst the mangroves and swamps in late 44' 45'. My Aussie Digger father was in the 6th Div in that fight and he and his mates witnessed a failed Japanese night attack into Austrailian and Yank lines across a flooded river..a dark muddied river and fetid humid mangrove loaded to the teeth with 15' and 20' Crocs. My father and his younger brother were in this same fight,but from different battalions..and as kids they told us some harrowing and nightmarish stories of the horrifying screams and thrashings as the crocs took out most of the Japanese troops over several long hours of blood and death. He said they,my uncle and father,and their mates who survived the fight, never could quite remove those human screams from their dreams on certain hot humid summer nights back here at home in Queensland after the war. The Diggers hardly fired a shot on the night in question..as the crocs did the evil work for them. Can you just imagine..being a soldier scared,then being jumped by a huge croc in pitch darkness,in clouded muddy water,and as your comrades are also shredded an eviscerated and dragged to their wailing screaming deaths as a food source for starving saltwater crocs?

    This reminds me of a scene from WW2. In the Pacific, there was an island that the Japanese seized early in the fighting. Later retaking the island, Allied forces drove the Japanese into a swamp... filled with Saltwater Crocodiles, the largest crocodilians alive. Supposedly throughout the night, Allies heard the slaughter and gunfire as hundreds died. It seems strange that at times wild animals have come to leave such a deep impact on human history, especially in the midst of war.

    I used to live in a very isolated and small town in the Michigan woods. For most of a year hunters were terrorized by a Coywolf with a twisted/crooked snout. What freaked out the townspeople was its very strange behavior. It was extremely aggressive yet cunning, it would lure hunting dogs into chasing it then turn and kill them when they were too far for the hunters to help. It also seemed to kill without cause as people would find small game dead by wounds consistent with a canine,with a odd jaw alignment causing the bite wounds to look a bit off, yet little if any of the game was eaten. It also couldn't howl properly, making a rather unnerving warped howl at around 11pm every night. It was eventually tracked down and killed. There shouldn't have been any coyotes in the area and there were very few wolves in the area,so how that unfortunate creature came to be in those woods is a bit of a mystery.

      @@DanielScutt I know this isn't what you meant so forgive me for seeming to take your statement out of context. I likewise can't help but acknowledge the idea of humans eradicating disease by eradicating "the diseased". My understanding of this premise coming from my research into the inhuman experiments and exterminations taking place during various wars, as well as the study and implementation of eugenics both here in the US and abroad. Good intentions (improving humanity) with immoral practices (destroying actual humans), I suppose is another way of putting it.
      That being said, I sincerely do appreciate you making an important distinction:
      As much as we destroy each other for the sake of bettering ourselves, there is much kindness in the world that is often overlooked--certainly by our media. Why we tend to focus more on the negative and repeatedly pit ourselves against each other, rather than focusing on the struggles we all face together... whether that's spiritual or psychological I couldn't say.

      @Igor Lukyan I had much the same thought myself when writing this. More to the point of recognizing the irony of men sent to kill each other temporarily becoming allies, only to then return to killing each other once the common enemy is defeated. Humans are probably the few among Earths inhabitants that so frequently contradict themselves. But then again, it appears wolves demonstrate the same behavior in dire situations, ignoring their previous territorial rivalries and hunting together with foreign wolves when survival is of the essence.

    If true, it's a tragic story with these wolves being drawn into a horrific trap.
    I'm not suggesting that the people of Paris did not have to act, but it doesn't make the story any more palatable.
    The wolves, led by their fearless and charismatic leader, Courtaud, were clearly desperate and starving - I'm sure that they had a fair idea that it was a trap, but felt that they had no other option.
    I'm also sure that they didn't want to approach human settlements causing the initial attacks - they must have been driven to this behaviour, so it is sad that this final battle had to take place.

You genuinely sound like a professionally trained voice. My 13 year old and I have been utterly captives of the Wolves episode, which makes a perfect prequel to the BTS Gevudan episode.

      Really? I have seen my fair share of either wolves or wolf-breed dogs in my time. Along with a Peregrine falcon, I've always imagined having one as a pet. Beautiful animals. And as with Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and other controversial canines, I'd imagine the arguments for and against having them as pets are (as expected) entirely subjective.
      Sigh. I've noticed a few commenters unfortunately taking the story out of context. I would personally like to distinguish that there is clearly a behavioral difference between individual wolves who are well-cared for, especially domesticated wolves, and packs of wild animals lead to the brink of starvation doing what they have to to survive.

      @@WartimeStories I lived in the bush for years when I was young; none of the wolves were domesticated. They just hung out and left. We never had issues of random attacks of starving animals when living in northern Canada. Mainly we knew this would occur due to unforeseen circumstances (fires or droughts or stupid tourists). You just drop food in remote locations in hopes of preventing this from taking place. However, when wars happen, bad things will happen and that tragic.

      "Pet"? "Domesticated wolves"?
      These animals aren't dumb as dogs or cows - I find it hard to believe how a genuine wolf could ever become something as patronizing as a "pet". You may misunderstand the meaning of the words tho. A "companion" would probably be the closest I'd go as they are just as independent as any human.

I mean, that could make for a genuine great horror type film. With the right people working on it, the right music etc... Could be a insanely good film. A propper R rated film that doesn't shy away from the brutal nature of, well nature. I would pay to see such a film. No matter how much of it is real or not. It's a genuinly great tale of mans fight against nature.
