    The Wolverines are comfortable with high pitched voices, as sounds like Wolverine sounds. He was trying to build a bond and gain Jasper's trust hence he needed to speak in Jasper's language which is higher pitched noises. Love animals so intelligent, and emotional.

      So as long as one uses a high pitch voice the wolverine can understand him?

      They are in the weasel family. Mustelids are animals like Weasels, Wolverines, Honey Badgers, and Otters.
      And Bears, Mustelids, and Dogs all fall into the Caniform suborder which just means dog-like carnivores. So to simplify it, it’s a smol doggo

      @@jesuspernia8031 No they're not! All this "everything's related" is nothing but a bunch of Satanic Marxism. Karl Marx took Friedrich Nietzsche's Nietzscheism (Atheism) and Charles Darwin's Darwinism (i.e. Macro-Evolution) and combined them into his Communist Manifesto. It's a bunch of nonsense. Just because a bunch of different kinds of animals resemble each other does not mean they are all literally related. Maybe, just maybe, we all have a common Creator who made everything to live in a common environment, therefore, with variations on a theme will certainly cause many to look very similar. Enough of this Marxist Evil, please!

    Cool video. I like the fact that the steve (assuming steve k) clearly shows hes not the 'owner' of the wolverine. But sinply a caretaker.
    He understands the natural behavior, and encourages the guest to engage in what a wolverine would consider unthreatening behavior.
    Then, he lets the wolverine walk him, and show him the things he wants to go do as the animal.
    Huge respect for the animal, huge desire to enrich the animals life instead of only his own, and a huge respect to the threat a wild animal poses to individuals who just see soft fur akin to a dog.
    Also cool presenter not being a wimp, or pushing for more footage or anything cheesy.
