My dad and I were out hunting and camping in a very remote location back in the late 70’s. We had a large Wolf who approached our camp and just sat there tilting his head a few times. He got up and trotted away and within a few minutes we could hear them all howling back and forth. It’s one of my favorite memories with my father.
You & your dad inadvertently became the "Breaking News" of the day! ❤
@@marshawargo7238 I think you mean "Barking News".
Before: we can't find any wolves 🙁
After: *the wolves found us* 😳
I can genuinely see how wolves were domesticated, feed them scraps every now and then, have their young raised around you, and eventually, over generations, they’ll get comfortable enough to become companions
They were drawn to us and we were drawn to them, it was meant to be.
as they follow you as your camp moves on, they follow along and protect you from dangers. as the next generation is born they prolly selected breeding and kept pups that didnt show aggression towards humans, while those that did, got left behind. its amazing how our friendship develop with wolves then into dogs
JESUS IS OUR LIFE!
I'M IN LOVE WITH JESUS!

HALLELUJAH! ❤️✝️❤️
@@abcdeeer Domesticated dogs behave life wolf pups, barking and yapping.
They domesticated us, as much as we them.
To be able to see this!! It is Incredible! The extreme Hardships the Researchers went through, and yet you can see the Joy, and Happiness on their faces! The Wolf Pack continues to survive, and that leaves me feeling so gratefull!!!Thank You for your Extraordinary Work!😊😊😊
The playful wrestling of bear cubs was a preparation for adulthood, but does it glamorize the more brutal aspects of their future?
how the wolf stole the backpack hahah so cute and naughty
amazing video, I am surprised how "friendly" they were, maybe I watched too many movies... lol
Well, most wolves would be dangerous to be around. But artic wolves are not used to humans, they have not evolved to fear us (fear often turns to aggression).
"The Arctic wolf is relatively unafraid of people, and can be coaxed to approach people in some areas. The wolves on Ellesmere Island do not fear humans, which is thought to be due to them seeing humans so little, and they will approach humans cautiously and curiously."
The classic ferry tale of "The Big Bad Wolf". I've spent years tracking and filming wolves and have NEVER had a bad encounter.
@@KevinUchihaOG Wouldn't it be the other way around? Most wolf species are afraid of humans due to our previous relentless culling of them, so they keep their distance, in contrast to arctic wolves it seems.
To make it clear I do not view any wolf species as being aggressive towards humans, and rarely dangerous
@@Lovedrawing1 It depends on the circumstances that you encounter them. Wolves are territorial, so if you are in their territory they will try to get rid of you if they see you as a threat ("being scared of you"). Wolves that know about humans see us as a threat, so when they see humans enter their territory they want to either chase the human out or kill the human.
Being "scared" of humans is a very "anthropocentric" way of saying it. Fear and aggression is very closely connected in the animal kingdom. Animals that attack humans often do it because they are afraid of humans. They know humans kill animals, so they attack the human to chase them away or kill them before the human kills them.
Its not "afraid" in the sense that a 9 year old kid is afraid of the dark at night. Its a more "strategic scaredness". Instead of being "holy shit im so afraid im shitting my pants" its like "holy shit this creature here will kill everyone if i dont do anything about it".
@@KevinUchihaOG I get what you're trying to say, but this only applies when the option of running is no longer available. All animals prefer to run if they are afraid of the opponent/think they won't win the fight. It's well known that wolves keep a distance to humans, even when they are in the wolves' territory. The situation changes if we're talking about lone children or if the human has a dog (misreading of signals between wolf and dog). But wolf attacks are rare. They wouldn't be if wolves attacked all people in their territories.
I have so much respect and admiration for the camera crews for the BBC nature documentaries. You can always see that they love their job from the bottom of their soul. They have to endure extremely harsh environments for days and their reward is some of the most awe inspiring footages ever captured by human beings.
This is official helps me a lot of thing. The video is very good, I can practice my listening and speaking skill and a lot of other things
Thank you too much.
Beautiful creatures.
they are the best
Yeah❤
when i m fed up with usual life bullcrap i just come to bbc earth channel and after 5 minutes i am renewed,cant rlly explain it but it works.amaizing creatures,extra ordinary effort by the crew,well done
I agree with that!
Nature. Better than therapy! :-)
The courage of the small bird defending its nest was heartwarming, but does it romanticize the harsh realities of nature?
I know exactly what you mean!
Keep it up, BBC Earth!
"Everythings hard up here" yeah lol buddy has a damn hole in his chest to his lung and hes throwing hands with a monster multiple weight classes above him
Um it's way harder for the bull, imagine having pieces of flesh ripped off you for hours and hours, death coming way too slow because the wolves go for your guts bite by bite instead of your throat so you're left suffering.
For years I have been fascinated with both Ellesmere Island and Baffin Island Nunavut, these are places that despite the weather I hope to one day visit. I envy this team of biologists who had the opportunity to see it and film these extraordinary animals. As global warming gets worse animals and nature are adapting to the changes, the question is for how long?
Wow, that was some great film footage, thanks
The White Wolf (Canis albus) is a large dog found in the Arctic, it is the second largest living dog species in the world, only the Grey Wolf (Canis lupus) is larger, there are eight recognized subspecies of white wolf: the Tundra Wolf (Canis albus albus), the Barren-Ground Wolf (Canis albus tundrarum), the Hudson Bay Wolf (Canis albus hudsonicus), the Mackenzie River Wolf (Canis albus mackenzii), the †Banks Island Wolf (Canis albus bernardi), the Queen Elizabeth Islands Wolf (Canis albus arctos), the Baffin Island Wolf (Canis albus manningi), and the Greenland Wolf (Canis albus orion).
Watching the territorial fights of the macaws was colorful, yet is it okay to be captivated by animal aggression?
Der wichtigste aller Wölfe wurde hier vergessen. Der Aktenvernichtungswolf, der in jedem Büro der Welt äußerst aggressiv über Akten herfällt um sie zu brutal zu zerreißen... 🎈💥😇
Mackenzie Valley Wolf* I believe.
@li0n50fGod7, it is more officially known as the alaskan timber wolf, which is a subspecies of Grey Wolf (Canis lupus) and not a subspecies of White Wolf (Canis albus).
Did You copy that from wikipedia? There are 2 species Canis Lupis (Wolf) and Canis Familias ( Dog) All Dogs originated from the Wolf Family . The Wolves DNA is quite different from the demosticated Dog. The Jaw pressure of a pit bull is inbetween 3000 to 5000 lbs per square inch a Wolves is up to 18,000 lbs . Wolves can also pull 10 times their own weight ! I had a Male Arctic Wolf , well He had me is more correct . 😁✌🐾🐾🙏
Stunning Creature 🤍
What a brilliant video well done ❤🐸💚🐸
Mind: dangerous wolf
Heart: Doggo
Huge respect to the people who filmed this.
Beautiful animals and wonderful pronunciation of the narrator.
She has such a great voice for this naration.
Yes especially pronouncing the word 'regularly' 🤨 You've got to be shitting me.
I agree. She can be a successor to David Attenborough.
How beautiful is that. If you love your dog then you love wolves. So much for the “Big bad wolf” which was created by ranchers.
Cute, adorable and beautiful, but deadly and ruthless when killing their prey
Strange behavior. It's as if they've been fed by humans or something. I've been around arctic wolves before and they are always terribly shy.
The Ellesmere Island wolves are extremely isolated, and thus have never been hunted, so they don't see humans as a threat. All other subspecies of wolf have evolved to instinctively fear their ancestral killers, except for this one tiny population.
Real hard work by the team
I am in love, so beautiful
I appreciate the work and effort but something really ironic about describing unspoiled wilderness as you drive an rtv through it
The flamingo's territorial dance was beautiful, but is it fine to be fascinated by animal conflicts?
I love arctic wolves. They are just so gorgeous!
If they were "incredible predators" they wouldn't need to hunt in packs. Mountain lions would be a better example of "incredible predators."
Lying among a pack of wolves: they're SO CONFIDENT!
Yes, they are. You are talking meat.
Amazing creatures 😺
The best ❤
So cute! 🥺 Poor bull though :(
Thanks! I just forwarded and I'm leaving the video, I'd have suffered seeing it😔
It's harsh, but it is the way our mother nature keeps everything in order, there is a delicate equilibrium.
What an incredible experience.
I just love wolves so much and so glad that arctic wolves haven't gone extinct there! 🐺🐺🐺
Same here
😢 a punctured lung you can hear gurgling. 💗 glad it was healing.
Beautiful ❤️
A glimpse of where the quality films come from, & how. They're alongside wildlife, no choice. Thank you very much for your hard working to BBC crews.
It's deffinitly hard work
@@jamesfrystak & fully rewarded for sure!
Oh yes. Quality films indeed.
Wolves remain wild not matter how comfortable man feels around them.
Thanks BBC earth 👍
What amazing and beautiful animals.
they are stunning! always been my favourite. I hope their future is safe.
this pack has been acclimated to people from being filmed so much i guess, they've probably been dealing with it since they were puppies.
If I could go back and change careers, I would.
So the wolves chose to take on the big bull instead of going for the crew members, odd🤔.
That big bull will taste better than some scrawny humans.
Wolf attacks on people are extremely rare. Also, getting the wrapper off isn't worth the trouble. 😸
The United states has 14 fatalities on official record of wolves attacking humans in the past 160 years. In contrast, there are over 200 dead humans on record gored or trampled to death by elk, moose and deer in the past 100 years alone. Wolves rarely ever attack humans, they need to be starving and desperate or rabies infected to generally even try it. Technically speaking, you are more likely to be gored or trampled to death by a massive herbivore than killed by a wolf.
@@TheStockwell agreed! I'm so interested in this comment section. There are so many comments like this and I don't blam them as we have all been told the fairy tail of the "big bad wolf" and it's so not true. I've spent years tracking and filming wolves all over and not once have I had a negative encounter.
All thats missing is Jon Snow 😊
Right now I'm reading a book "Don't cry wolf" by Farley Mowat. This book is written by a man, biologist who was living for 1,5 years among wild arctic wolves in Canadian tundra. The book is really exciting and there's a lot of humor! What a coincidence that this video was shown for me by RUclips)))))
Ugh, I would LOVE to see this full document!

@@wildnfree101 oh wow, thank you! I have something to watch tonight 😁
Make sure you see the whole series, breathtaking.
@@teeanahera8949 I would Def be interested, my dad loves these kinds of documents. This is where I learnt to love these
13 years in the same forest and never met one. just a few tracks. ♥ the wolves
Rest assured, they saw you clear as day, even if you couldn't see them 😉
So elusive. Keep looking, they are out there. Best to look at the dawn hours
Watch the old documentary White Wolf (or White Wolves) that already did this years ago.
What day is today? I’m sorry…where should I find Eskimos, north or south?
Why was the crew so sure the wolves won't attack them?
It's mostly (but not entirely) myth that wolves hunt humans. They would, when starving and desperate, but much like sharks they don't like to eat things they don't recognize as "proper" food. Most human encounters with wolves, both in modern day and historical records, indicate they mostly avoid humans, not hunt them... again, except when utterly desperate and starving (those wolves looked well fed, it is a successful pack and not going hungry). It is also likely and possible this pack had encountered non-aggressive humans before and why they weren't afraid or aggressive towards them. Wolves show pretty overt signs of aggression which the crew would've observed and driven away if they had shown.
Wolves don't just attack humans. It's all a made up fairy tail
How wonderful ❤. Wolves are one of my favorite animals and seeing them so close makes me happy 😊 Thank you for sharing and Greetings from Los Angeles 🎉
Amazing work by the crew. It's good to see how animals live their uniques lives.
The moral indifference of nature.
There is no way on Earth I can survive what u guys do....
Err.. wasn't the crew scared at all that the wolves could attack them? 😬
Wolves generally don't attack humans.
Wolves attacks on humans happen, but they are relatively rare. There's a Wikipedia page about it.
In France, the country with the largest number of documented wolf attacks, there have been 7,600 documented attacks. But, that's over a 720-year period. That averages to 10.5 attacks a year - less than once a month.
You'd have a greater chance of dying from eating bad cheese.
Best wishes from Vermont 🍁
@@qwippertyThey would 🙄
Here in Canada, in the only documented case of wolf attacking a person, the wolf was rabid. This was probably the case with many of the attacks in France.
I guess artic wolves don't know we are the big bad ones.
Where can you watch season 3?
❤❤❤ protégeons les
"Life tough, get a helmet" was taken seriously.
Curious question, how come the pack of wolves didn't attack the filming crew?
It's mostly (but not entirely) myth that wolves hunted humans. They would, when starving and desperate, but much like sharks they don't like to eat things they don't recognize as "proper" food. Most human encounters with wolves, both in modern day and historical records, indicate they mostly avoid humans, not hunt them... again, except when utterly desperate and starving (those wolves looked well fed, it is a successful pack and not going hungry). It is also likely and possible this pack had encountered non-aggressive humans before and why they weren't afraid or aggressive towards them.
Humans are not in the menu. Attacks on humans is incredibly rare.
All mammals have an innate fear of animals walking on two legs apparently. When Sun bears are attacked by tigers they stand up on their back legs and the tigers are not sure what to make of it. There’s a doco on tigers on YT showing this. Bears won’t kill you unless their cubs seem threatened, mountain lions don’t wait to ambush you at your front door, Orcas won’t kill you while you’re swimming and Leopard seals are just curious and will bring you a live penguin. You can see that on YT too. So the film crew are a curiosity to the wolves but not a meal. Have a look for the book and film “Never Cry Wolf” by Farley Mowat and see a non fiction encounter over weeks with wolves in the wild.
Hippos?@@teeanahera8949
The wolves are so beautiful
Fantastic creatures, unafraid of man due to their isolated island where wolf specialists have been studying the specie for many decades.. Including Dr. Mersch
2 words: Grizzly Man
in what country was this filmed?
Don't let the Swiss government see this ....

Beautiful, but viscous creatures!
I was stationed at CFS Alert in 1983 and looking at the satellite images, I see something that I did not see then in the 'summer' months... open water! We had artic fox around the station and they, like the wolves, were curious.
2:05 “The backpack is all mine, see ya” 😆
🐺🐺🐺🤍
Beautiful Wolves 💓 But it's a whole lotta Wolves in Sheep's Clothing out here..
Then at the end they are there saying goodbye ❤
I was going to comment 'if not friend, why friend shaped' - but hey, they are, they are friends! Give a few generations of interaction and boom, you get a huskey
Love the but hell nah! I’d be on edge
Dancing with wolfes
Gelungenes Video ist sehr informativ. Gruss Jürgen 🤠
I have seen them first time.Wao white wolf
Wow love it 😀
Good job bossing 🚍🇵🇭
❤.. beautiful creatures,,, i put my high respects to wolves,,, 😊
It’s always a good time when a bbc cameraman is filming up close 👌🏿
what a surprise, the crew have upper class accents - could that be perhaps because since the late seventies there has been a 75% drop in the amount of people not educated in private schools working in media?
Life is pain.
Wish they would have brought medical equipment to help the Wolf with the injury ! Pretty selfish not to ! They should have brought a Vet. With them and a tranquilizer rifle. All they wanted was to get some footage to make some money ! If the tables were turned The Wolves would have helped the injured human !
amazing experience and videos
# a great expedition! who let the rabbits loose? 😂👍🐰.
Wonder why they didn't eat the camera people...? Would have been easier than a 2000 pound Ox?
❤
They filmed arctic wolves on Elsmere Island several years ago in one of the nature documentaries I watched. Is this the same footage or did some crew go again?
It is not a pack, it is a family. When will people learn that? Stop spreading false information.
then i get called barbaric by city boys for putting an arrow through the heart of my kill and using its whole body.
I don't see why the wolf wouldn't test out the humans to see if they can eat them. You don't film lions on foot, they will test you and eat you. But why not wolves? They are big enough.
I’m surprised the wolfs didn’t try to lunch the photographers
I don't like the voice of the narrator too much, high pitch and somehow distant...
Dear Canada, please ban legal hunting of polar bears by non-natives!!!
wonderful film, wonderful wildlife.
Black wolves were just reintroduced in Colorado 😮
Interesting that they didn’t consider the people as a supply of food! And that one large buffalo came across their path, food from God!
Why did they not attack the humans when they were powerful enough to bring down much larger prey?
Hats off to that crew
They were an entire crew, not appearing to be in any kind of distress. A lone human or two could become a snack very easily.
All mammals in the wild have an innate fear of animals on two legs for some reason. When was the last time you heard of a wolf pack killing someone? Next door’s pitbull will kill you however but it is not in the wild and has no fear of humans. In Australia dingoes won’t attack people in the wild but ones that are fed by tourists will bite you. They aren’t big enough to take down a healthy adult luckily. Imagine the wolves being like the land version of Orcas, humans would be the perfect snack but there’s never been a recorded attack on a human in the wild. Wolves are the same. They’re curious once they learn you’re not after them.
