That other wolf was preventing him from helping his pack mate that was being disciplined. He kept him at bay while the leader disciplined that one wolf.
Caleb Meilink-Smith exactly as it most likely would of been a frenzy after that as you dont attack the alpha in any scenario lol. and then once a proper fight breaks out it can go badly if someone doesnt submit
So I've noticed that what they're doing is very similar to when humans hug. So I'm assuming that means that when we hug our dogs (or think we see one dog hugging another), it's actually trying to force dominance?
Yes, that's exactly what they think you are doing. If you notice some dogs will try and pull away or make it difficult for you to pull them in. They read actions a bit differently than we do.
Oddly enough my dog let's me hug him and likes getting underneath my legs. Maybe marking his scent on me? Lol claiming me as his possession. He doesn't like my other dogs getting near me.
Well then, our dogs must think like "okay okay I'm not more dominant than you, you are more dominant...! Ah please get me outta here..." lol Jokes aside, hmm... I didn't know that! Well, I'll still hug my dog. It's good if she knows who's the boss over her. Aslong as we're still nice to her x3 We kinda spoil our dog lol Edit: Ehh, my younger self wrote this. I don't agree with everything I wrote here anymore.
Ehh in a sense your right. A dog naturally yields to humans because we stand over them therefor by default we overpower them and make them submit to us
That explains why my bfs dads shepherd growled at me when I hugged him. He isn't fixed and my male is. He thinks he's the alpha unfortunately. He growled and my dog who was thank God in his kennel growled at him and they almost got into it til i pulled the shepherd back. Most dogs i know don't mind hugs usually.
I work with wolves, and this is something you get used to. What I've come to realize is that these animals have FAR more organization within their packs (family units), than one would initially assume. These interactions tend to occur most between males and their teenage sons. Just like human teens, wolves become somewhat rebellious and defiant. The alpha male keeps his pack in line, with such displays, and disciplinary tactics! I have learned that the louder the display, typically the less severe the interaction is, in actuality. It is more of emphasizing a point, and ensuring that the whole pack takes notice. Rarely, if ever, even, at all, have I seen an interaction of this nature, escalate into true fighting, or either animal getting injured. You can always tell who the alphas are, in a wolf pack, by the way, simply based on the way they carry their tails. Only the alphas will tend to wave their tails high in the air, as an open and intentional display of dominance and leadership. Since wolf packs are simply just family units, that tend to consist of one, monogamous, breeding pair, that has mated for life (the alpha male and alpha female), alongside their offspring over the course of several generations, this is merely just a father disciplining one of his offspring, in the same way that you would see a human father, grounding his teenage son!
I think this is why my 10 mo. old dog is always trying to dominate at the dog park. Because he needs a real family... Not a temporary one for a few hours a day and only a few days a week. Slowly tho he is getting used to certain dogs at certain times. There is only one dog and believe it or not she is a female, that he wont mount or challenge. I think it's because she is so big and tall and athletic he respects her. The other day he played w this husky German shepherd mix about the same age (10-12 mo.). At first they got along great. Then the other dog naturally was getting tired and showing signs of "I've had enough please leave me alone." But my dog became even MORE dominant and barking / mounting / following and sniffing his butt constantly. So then I had to be the alpha and split him up and time out. In this situation my dog just doesn't know when to read other dogs and leave them alone. He thinks he can dominate them into playing with him more... Which from a logical standpoint is literally insane... You can't "dominate" more energy into a tired dog. So socially his IQ is pretty low right now. The point is from a juvenile standpoint the dominating can happen for any number of reasons. He is also marking all the time and for the first time he is going up to random people and trying to pee on their feet. I've been able to catch him in the act and push him away or alert the person (it's amazing to me how many people are so unaware at dog parks) but one time I wasn't able to get him and he peed on a guys shoe. I apologized a ton and the guy luckily was understanding. Still, I am really annoyed by this behavior. Whenever we are going to go for a walk he gulps a ton of water like he just can't wait to go pee on everything. Yet, even when it is really hot and he's in the backyard and I know he's thirsty... I sometimes have to tell him to drink water! Again the IQ isn't very good. Before his hormones / balls dropping he was the best puppy and so well behaved. I've had to use a shock collar as a last resort. It has actually helped him socialize better with dogs at the park and enabled him to stay there longer. Basically when I sense his dominance behavior coming (I've seen it so many times I can sense it now as soon as he is thinking about it) I always beep a few times to let him know a shock will come. Then if he harasses a dog... I time the shock with the other dogs resistence. So if the other dog is barking at him or growling at him to get away as soon as he makes that gesture I time the shock and it seems to work. He kinda shakes his head and leaves the dog alone. Unfortunately most dogs would hear a dog snarling or growling at them at go the opposite way. My dog actually antagonizes them even more. Say for example there is one dog out of 12 at the dog park who is a little more nervous or "barky." My dog will, of all the dogs there lazer focus on that one dog and hover around it. No matter what amount of barking or deflecting from the owner or myself can do. I can even get between him and the dog and say "no!" And then he just runs around me still trying to persist and harass the dog. This is when I decided to get the shock collar. Now if he finds a dog like that (a nervous, pensive dog that clearly wants space) and he is about to harass them, again I give a beep and then I allow him to trigger the other dog. As the other dog growls or barks then I deliver the shock and he leaves them alone. He truly is a pest.
She did good to not interrupt - it's easy to consider the option of trying to stop a fight between what looks related to a couple domestic dogs, but for wolves this is completely natural and I appreciate the opportunity to watch the animals behave as they naturally would uninterrupted. Looks like someone just needed a reminder of who was the boss, and that subordinate wolf sure as heck got it!
It's pretty natural for dogs, too. Though, it's best if they've known each other for a long time rather than just letting a dog show dominance toward other dogs at random due to poor behavior. For example, dog parents do the exact same thing toward their puppies.
@@ScribStat Oh of course, at the end of the day it's important to ensure that the situation overall is safe. You can't always predict when animals, even domesticated, will snap, but it's always good to take preventative measures to avoid creating unnecessary stress.

because the intense parts nobody is looking through their phone to make sure they got it. they arent thinking about you when the intense parts are going down for obvious reasons
Honestly though, she was only in danger for a split second when they got too close because SHE chose to stay there and record it. If she had done the sensible thing she would have slowly backed away when it started...ya know, the thing normal people do when a pack of wolves are getting angry...and the video would have been 10x better. So yeah, I agree with Suk MaDiq.
Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy watching the pack dynamic. I admire you for being able to be this close to these amazing animals. What an incredible experience.
Wolf usally dont hurt each other maybe minor sratches but they do care about each other Ive come to realize that dogs do the same thing. Maybe if we can understand wolfves we will understand them we could have more behaved dogs But i have a siberian husky male who is super dominant and i have a german shepherd rottie female shes really submissive I dont try to change the pack order My siberian husky usally corrects her for things if shes to hyper And she never goes for his food unless he gives her the okay Of course you aways got to be carefull with dogs not from the same pack specially if they are both dominant But my siberian husky is always reminding me that the wolf is still in dogs
Dogs are not wolves and wild wolves are not captive wolves, educate yourself before you spread misinformation on the internet. positively.com/dog-training/myths-truths/pack-theory-debunked/
they share a few small similarities but in terms of major behavior they're totally different. also wild wolves and captive wolves like this act totally different. if you really want to learn about wolves study wild wolves not a domesticated dog or captive wolf.....
its no secret captive animals display behavior that the wild ones dont. totally different enviroments. also dogs have been domesticated over thousands of years lol they're basically nothing like wolves.
MrFredstt But wolves are bigger and more deadlier an Egyptian one took my sisters leg off but she kicked it so what did she expect *also* WHAT THE HELL WAS SHE DOING IN THE FIRST PLACE!?😕
Had a Wolf-Labrador 20 years ago. She was the most loyal, loving and smartness animal ever. She was really a cute puppy who I originally did not like, she never gave up on me. A life changing experience!
He was actually tryna grab the other wolf's shoulders. It's a sign of dominance in canines, which is why dogs don't like being hugged and get anxiety from it because you're touching their shoulders, and touching shoulders is something dogs do when romping around with each other.
Other wolf"Please, let me just say hi to the woman! ' Dominante wolf: You stay right here!" *Other wolf escapes* Dominante wolf attacks: "Didn't I tell you to stay?? "
So amazing. This is a highly developed form of communication which enforces pack rules - the hierarchy of the pack is a complex mechanism which ensures the pack's survival. You see a much milder shadow of this behavior in dogs due to millennia of domestication, but it's still there to one degree or another, depending on the breed. As a renown Husky breeder one told me " 2 Huskies are no big deal but 3 or more together and their pack behavior goes off the chart".
I used to work at a boarding kennel and there were 2 dogs in kennels next to each other (there was a separation where they could not reach each other) they did not like each other and would challenge the other. One was a Rottweiler who lived (belonged to the owner of the kennel) in a larger kennel next to a Malamute who frequently would board there when their owner was away on business trips. They were both very dominant, but whenever I went in to clean the Rottweiler's kennel he would run up to greet me and then would jump up on me give affection and then immediately would stare over at the Malamute (still standing on his hind legs with his paws on my chest) and start growling. Then he would charge at the fence at the Malamute, he would do this a couple times. I was only 17 and not that experienced with dogs at that time so I did not try and control that Rottweiler, he was a very dominant dog and was also used to compete in bite work. I realize now he was claiming me and also realize that's not a good thing to have a dog do, especially a very dominant dog like that Rottweiler.
When a canine discoverers something unusual that they would like to share with other canines, like a strong scent, they will roll on it. They get the smell on their fur and are then able to communicate to other members of their pack just what they encountered. If you look through our videos, there are many examples of scent rolling.
This is so weird. The Jack Russel of my best friend does the same thing, what the submissive wolf in this video does. Whenever he thinks someone is mad at him he tries to push his side of his head against the person's side of the head. It's almost like cuddling. But it always breaks my heart that he tries to convince us, that he means no harm. I always thought this was a unique behavior for him. I am surprised that it is very much an instinct he follows like this wolf does.
My lab does this to my husky puppy when he gets too dominant at the dog park, exactly same thing, including the growling, snarling and soft biting. most people think hes fighting. He's not, he's just expressing his dominance over him.
+Krieg Topolis they're both the same size right now. Sometimes the husky gets very 'in your face'. Even tried side - humping my lab. So he immediately did what the Wolf did in the video. He sets up a low growling. Then he jumps on the husky and does like a soft bite between his shoulder blades. Labs can be very dominant. My lab started getting dominant after getting bitten by neighbor's golden retriever. It does not depend on the breed, any dog can be dominant.
+Krieg Topolis after that, the husky calms down. And rolls over onto his back and shows his belly and after that they continue playing again. And why do you think a lab can't do that to a husky?
+Krieg Topolis my lab is an English line show dog, my husky is also a show line ( not a working line), as far as I've read, the bigger the dog's skull, stronger is the bite force ( for example, a Rottweiler's massive head). English labs have a typical block head which can exert quite a bit of power. In fact, he plays the same way with my neighbour's Siberian Husky, who's the same age as him. Siberians tend to have slightly smaller and more streamlined skulls if compare them to an English lab you can easily tell.
Anindita I realize this was posted long ago but you're very right. I have a border collie/lab mix that is the dominant over my pitbull/Staffordshire. They are same height. The collie lab is outweighed by 15-20 lbs but, the mix established the role early on and works to keep it. (Plus the collie/labs INSANE agility and acrobatics help quite a bit. And to have that advantage over a very lean pit/staff says a lot) my point is... I agree. The breed doesn't matter. Size does matter but not always. it's all about the animals attitude and character. (Btw I'm the real alpha. Lol. My dogs are a big happy family but when I'm not providing the attention a certain role of order amongst themselves definitely becomes apparent.
Worth noting though is that several studies shows that wolf behaviour and social structures changes vastly when living in enclosed areas (surprisingly)
"One of the people responsible for the popular idea of the alpha wolf is L. David Mech. In 1970 he released a book (The Wolf: Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species) which promoted the concept. Yet science corrects itself in light of new evidence, and Mech was wrong. In fact, on his own website he says that the idea of the alpha wolf is outdated, as we have learned more about the animals in the last 40 years than in all of history before that. Mech has asked his publisher to stop printing the book for years, without success." -M.ADMIN
My older girl does this to my one year old pup. She's big and he's a bit smaller and he does the exact same thing where he kind of bows his head while she growls. Then they go on their merry way and get along just fine as long as he doesn't get too confident 😂
I’m glad I found this channel. When the wolf placed his chin on the snarling wolves neck, he was submitting. But then he wanted to assert dominance. This is NOT a person being bad and not stopping a fight, it’s a person letting wolves live natural lives. Wolves are not dogs!
The dominant wolf didn't want to fight, it wanted the other one to submit, but the other one wasn't submitting nor challenging it. It's probably the reason it sort of escalated.
The pack dynamics -- who is a subordinate wolf and who is dominate -- are SO vital to teach each cub and young adult what is expected of them and how they are expected to behave. It's essential to have those dynamics if the pack is to survive. Their body language explains everything about how they relate to each other. I can see why humans have difficulty relating to wolves -- we believe we should be dominate but we don't know how to establish dominance in a way wolves understand and respect. Their interactions make me think of how sensitive elephants with a herd are to each other and the interdependence they have with each other. What they do with body language we do with words and facial expressions. Yet I'd never question that the wolves communicate with each other as much or more than we do with other humans.
With these ones yes, wild ones you run a higher risk. Though apparently they don't see humans as food in the wild. Totally explains why a pack started hunting a group of people out hunting
I'm so used to it by now. I've been working with Wolves for over 20 years. I'm sure it freaked me out the first time it ever happened so close to me. I remember the first time ever going in with Wolves to this day. I could feel every hair on my body stand up, lol. It does really teach you to be constantly aware of your situation and your surroundings.
Really interesting footage! Very good example of body language that you often see in dogs as well! Which make this a good piece to show for education. But I don’t believe that these are pure wolves, because the dominant one has a too distinct facial pattern. To much white in the face and and very long fur on the tail. They may be upper mid or high content wolfdogs? There are more wolfdogs than pure wolves in the US.. I have met low content and mid/high content wolfdogs myself! And read a lot about how to fenotype them :) But of course you can call a high content a wolf as well, since not even a field biologist can distinguish them from pure wolves. But you can see on their facial pattern that there might be dogs back in their ancestry. On the other hand, the black color of wolves is also believed to originate from dogs. I look forward to follow you and watch your animals!
Or maybe the case is that all Wild wolves that have very distinct white facial patterns have som dog in them a long way back in their ancestry. Several generations back. As with black wolves.
everythingwolf thx! I have a question, I heard that when the wolves are hunting or just traveling around, they keep the oldest and/or weakest wolf in the middle of the pack, is this true?
I not sure about where they would be in a hunt. However, I do know that they all have a job so I'm sure the fastest and strongest have the key positions when hunting.
ASTERDOMY keep in mind they're wild animals they came from wolves so it has a choice it can listen to you or bite the shit out of you because at end of the day dogs have their instincts of a wolf so they will growl or bite you if they feel like they're being dominated
Alpha was getting pissed because the other refused to submit. They must lay down & show their belly for submission. Notice how at 1:59 one does this to another one & it leaves it alone soon as it happens.

I'd say an enraged Tiger's growl is scarier

Why is everyone shitty with the cameras especially when the intense part happens cmon y'all
would you be so concerned with getting a good shot when some wolves go all national geographic a few feet away from you?
LMAO, fr
because the intense parts nobody is looking through their phone to make sure they got it. they arent thinking about you when the intense parts are going down for obvious reasons
Sehowla Woods yes. “Take a hit to make a play” or “don’t be a pussy”. I would like more amateur photographers to apply these sayings to their craft.
Honestly though, she was only in danger for a split second when they got too close because SHE chose to stay there and record it. If she had done the sensible thing she would have slowly backed away when it started...ya know, the thing normal people do when a pack of wolves are getting angry...and the video would have been 10x better. So yeah, I agree with Suk MaDiq.
Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy watching the pack dynamic. I admire you for being able to be this close to these amazing animals. What an incredible experience.
Wolf usally dont hurt each other maybe minor sratches but they do care about each other
Ive come to realize that dogs do the same thing. Maybe if we can understand wolfves we will understand them we could have more behaved dogs
But i have a siberian husky male who is super dominant and i have a german shepherd rottie female shes really submissive
I dont try to change the pack order
My siberian husky usally corrects her for things if shes to hyper
And she never goes for his food unless he gives her the okay
Of course you aways got to be carefull with dogs not from the same pack specially if they are both dominant
But my siberian husky is always reminding me that the wolf is still in dogs
+Nicholas Ruiz You really get your animals. Thumbs up!
+mkaali dude it's crazy how there's people that think that dogs aren't like wolves.
Dogs are not wolves and wild wolves are not captive wolves, educate yourself before you spread misinformation on the internet.
positively.com/dog-training/myths-truths/pack-theory-debunked/
they share a few small similarities but in terms of major behavior they're totally different. also wild wolves and captive wolves like this act totally different. if you really want to learn about wolves study wild wolves not a domesticated dog or captive wolf.....
its no secret captive animals display behavior that the wild ones dont. totally different enviroments. also dogs have been domesticated over thousands of years lol they're basically nothing like wolves.
Wolves are truly magnificent creatures. Their pack dynamics are incredible. I love them so much and believe they should be protected and cherished.
to me,wolves are just big fluffy angery doggos
Clear Skiesツ Dogs send people to hospitals
Wolves send people to graves
Dogs send people to graves too though
Marisa Faith wolves dont kill humans
MrFredstt But wolves are bigger and more deadlier an Egyptian one took my sisters leg off but she kicked it so what did she expect *also* WHAT THE HELL WAS SHE DOING IN THE FIRST PLACE!?😕
Rainぇ遠ペ
Yes they do, they definitely fucking do.
Had a Wolf-Labrador 20 years ago. She was the most loyal, loving and smartness animal ever. She was really a cute puppy who I originally did not like, she never gave up on me. A life changing experience!
Wolves are so trivialized in modern culture it's crazy to see these ancient base instincts. They really are adorable fluffy monsters lol
Alpha: C'mere boy... get down there
Wolf: What're ya tryin to show me?
Alpha: Deez nuts!
Wolf 2 and 3: Hah! GOTTEM!
He was actually tryna grab the other wolf's shoulders. It's a sign of dominance in canines, which is why dogs don't like being hugged and get anxiety from it because you're touching their shoulders, and touching shoulders is something dogs do when romping around with each other.
S C U M B A G you missed the joke
S C U M B A G, my little Maltese loves his shoulders to be rubbed though.
You’re... You’re not funny ;-;
S C U M B A G I did that to my grandmas dog and he had whimpered I thought I hurt him but now I know
I love how awesome they sound when they fight
ReePer The Husky Really
Yeah. One time when I was a kid our two were fighting in the yard over a bird carcass and they sounded exactly like that
Jum Jum You have wolfs?
Kiera A Hicks Haha no, just Huskies when I was a kid
Jum Jum And you let them eat a bird carcass? ;~;
Does your heart race every time you hear one of them mad or do you get accustomed to it?
It took awhile to get used to it but now I'm quite accustomed to it. :)
Awesome, thank you for your reply.
I would of jumped at 1:48 if I was sitting there watching
Hell yah
1:45 you mean lmfao
Yeah, wolves and dogs are terrifying when they do that
That barking tho
Other wolf"Please, let me just say hi to the woman! '
Dominante wolf: You stay right here!"
*Other wolf escapes*
Dominante wolf attacks: "Didn't I tell you to stay?? "
So amazing. This is a highly developed form of communication which enforces pack rules - the hierarchy of the pack is a complex mechanism which ensures the pack's survival. You see a much milder shadow of this behavior in dogs due to millennia of domestication, but it's still there to one degree or another, depending on the breed. As a renown Husky breeder one told me " 2 Huskies are no big deal but 3 or more together and their pack behavior goes off the chart".
Love how the less dominant one was just like “damn I get it motherfucker can I go now.”
Their growls and barks are so much more powerful than a dog's.
I used to work at a boarding kennel and there were 2 dogs in kennels next to each other (there was a separation where they could not reach each other) they did not like each other and would challenge the other. One was a Rottweiler who lived (belonged to the owner of the kennel) in a larger kennel next to a Malamute who frequently would board there when their owner was away on business trips.
They were both very dominant, but whenever I went in to clean the Rottweiler's kennel he would run up to greet me and then would jump up on me give affection and then immediately would stare over at the Malamute (still standing on his hind legs with his paws on my chest) and start growling. Then he would charge at the fence at the Malamute, he would do this a couple times. I was only 17 and not that experienced with dogs at that time so I did not try and control that Rottweiler, he was a very dominant dog and was also used to compete in bite work. I realize now he was claiming me and also realize that's not a good thing to have a dog do, especially a very dominant dog like that Rottweiler.
What is scent rolling??
When a canine discoverers something unusual that they would like to share with other canines, like a strong scent, they will roll on it. They get the smell on their fur and are then able to communicate to other members of their pack just what they encountered. If you look through our videos, there are many examples of scent rolling.
For fun and could also be used for a dominance purpose. The other thing is that they could be hiding there scent as well.
and now i know why domestic dogs roll on carcasses
Emily Fox
you mean wild dogs?
Domestic dogs are house dogs, i’ve never seen a house dog roll over caresses, but wild dogs do.
Well, our dog does often roll on small dead animals
Incredible. Even animals acknowledge the dominance hierarchy. Their language is awesome.
0:40 *intense snarling*
Person in the video: *chuckles*
Me: 😟
i can see the resemblance from a dog showing dominance and a wolf. extremely cool video
I really really saw this video as an educational insight into pack behavior thank you for sharing this with us. 😊
You're very welcome. Howls!
Clickbait, he's not T-Posing.
Nice reference
I'm close to the wolves. I hear them growling. That is an early warning sign to get out.
Lawrence Lepes well if you try to move rapidly they might consider you a threat and their predatory instinct might kick in.
Listen to them the children of the night what music they make- Count Dracula
that first growl was terrifying 😲
Wonderful video. Thanks for the upload. The way a dominance display differs from an attack (or an intent to attack) is fascinating.

Such beautiful creatures.
This is so weird. The Jack Russel of my best friend does the same thing, what the submissive wolf in this video does. Whenever he thinks someone is mad at him he tries to push his side of his head against the person's side of the head. It's almost like cuddling. But it always breaks my heart that he tries to convince us, that he means no harm. I always thought this was a unique behavior for him. I am surprised that it is very much an instinct he follows like this wolf does.
That's awesome. I had a Husky who did this as well.
My lab does this to my husky puppy when he gets too dominant at the dog park, exactly same thing, including the growling, snarling and soft biting. most people think hes fighting. He's not, he's just expressing his dominance over him.
+Krieg Topolis they're both the same size right now. Sometimes the husky gets very 'in your face'. Even tried side - humping my lab. So he immediately did what the Wolf did in the video. He sets up a low growling. Then he jumps on the husky and does like a soft bite between his shoulder blades. Labs can be very dominant. My lab started getting dominant after getting bitten by neighbor's golden retriever. It does not depend on the breed, any dog can be dominant.
+Krieg Topolis after that, the husky calms down. And rolls over onto his back and shows his belly and after that they continue playing again. And why do you think a lab can't do that to a husky?
+Krieg Topolis my lab is an English line show dog, my husky is also a show line ( not a working line), as far as I've read, the bigger the dog's skull, stronger is the bite force ( for example, a Rottweiler's massive head). English labs have a typical block head which can exert quite a bit of power. In fact, he plays the same way with my neighbour's Siberian Husky, who's the same age as him. Siberians tend to have slightly smaller and more streamlined skulls if compare them to an English lab you can easily tell.
that makes sense
Anindita I realize this was posted long ago but you're very right. I have a border collie/lab mix that is the dominant over my pitbull/Staffordshire. They are same height. The collie lab is outweighed by 15-20 lbs but, the mix established the role early on and works to keep it. (Plus the collie/labs INSANE agility and acrobatics help quite a bit. And to have that advantage over a very lean pit/staff says a lot) my point is... I agree. The breed doesn't matter. Size does matter but not always. it's all about the animals attitude and character. (Btw I'm the real alpha. Lol. My dogs are a big happy family but when I'm not providing the attention a certain role of order amongst themselves definitely becomes apparent.
One day I hope I will get to see and be this close to wolves 🐺❤️ Thank you
Thanks I really appreciate it ❤️
stay away from animals unless you are going to eat them.
“Do you feel in charge?”
“And that gives you power over me?”
First thing that came to my head 😂
Reminds me of Batman, when Bane puts his hand on the guy's shoulder......."Do you feel in charge?"
1:55
(see the wolves on the left)
"Oi, not your fight, get out!"
1:59
"EASY!"
It honestly looks like a really aggressive hug
Brave ass woman she's got more balls than I do
Worth noting though is that several studies shows that wolf behaviour and social structures changes vastly when living in enclosed areas (surprisingly)
that escalated quickly
its amazing how much they look, sound, and move like dogs
jesus they sound like lions 😂
They do. I love their growls. When you are with them, you can feel their growls reverberate inside of you. Love it!
That's awesome! :D
I love their growls too, music to my ears!
Except lions are deadlier
Elouise Hodge watch your mouth about God
i'm actually astonished at how slow your reaction is with the camera
"One of the people responsible for the popular idea of the alpha wolf is L. David Mech. In 1970 he released a book (The Wolf: Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species) which promoted the concept. Yet science corrects itself in light of new evidence, and Mech was wrong. In fact, on his own website he says that the idea of the alpha wolf is outdated, as we have learned more about the animals in the last 40 years than in all of history before that. Mech has asked his publisher to stop printing the book for years, without success." -M.ADMIN
Honestly I knew all the dominance thing before I watched this!! Cute to see it in action!!
Beautiful pack you have! Love them. Don't think they will let me near them lol
Thank you and no they won't let people they don't know near them.

My older girl does this to my one year old pup. She's big and he's a bit smaller and he does the exact same thing where he kind of bows his head while she growls. Then they go on their merry way and get along just fine as long as he doesn't get too confident 😂
I’m glad I found this channel. When the wolf placed his chin on the snarling wolves neck, he was submitting. But then he wanted to assert dominance. This is NOT a person being bad and not stopping a fight, it’s a person letting wolves live natural lives. Wolves are not dogs!

The "Dominant" wolf was losing for a moment. Seems like the other one just didn't want to fight but had to show it would if it had to.
The dominant wolf didn't want to fight, it wanted the other one to submit, but the other one wasn't submitting nor challenging it. It's probably the reason it sort of escalated.
The pack dynamics -- who is a subordinate wolf and who is dominate -- are SO vital to teach each cub and young adult what is expected of them and how they are expected to behave.
It's essential to have those dynamics if the pack is to survive. Their body language explains everything about how they relate to each other. I can see why humans have difficulty relating to wolves -- we believe we should be dominate but we don't know how to establish dominance in a way wolves understand and respect.
Their interactions make me think of how sensitive elephants with a herd are to each other and the interdependence they have with each other. What they do with body language we do with words and facial expressions. Yet I'd never question that the wolves communicate with each other as much or more than we do with other humans.
you can get that close and they ignore you?
Yes, Wolves are extremely focused on the task at hand.
everythingwolf cool. I'm wanting to work at a wolf reserve. I'm going to call the one in nj to see if i can get it. any tips if i do?
everythingwolf nevermind its family owned business. So how does one start a preserve?
With these ones yes, wild ones you run a higher risk. Though apparently they don't see humans as food in the wild. Totally explains why a pack started hunting a group of people out hunting
Peter, or the wolves are extremely friendly with us and more docile, which is how we eventually got dogs.
I've actually been in the same situation before in the desert and it's very terrifying,
Hats off to the camera man.
She's like " don't chu dare touch my hooman! She's mine only "
i like how the credits just start rolling at the end like a show wrapping up early before disaster
Lmaoooo
“UR MAKING ME HECKIN ANGRI!!!!”
Lol
Drink it in, fellas; this is probably the only chance you’ll ever get to see this without getting torn to pieces.
I admire you staying in there during this. That's intense to even watch haha.
I'm so used to it by now. I've been working with Wolves for over 20 years. I'm sure it freaked me out the first time it ever happened so close to me. I remember the first time ever going in with Wolves to this day. I could feel every hair on my body stand up, lol. It does really teach you to be constantly aware of your situation and your surroundings.
Woah! Ferocious display of dominance.
this is pretty much my sister's fighting over who gets the last pizza roll
Great! now i know how to assert my authority dominance over the rest of the household. Thank you
So Was the dominant wolf trying to stop the other wolf from having a slash at the women recording you recon?
"I'm in charge here!" (Alpha sidles up) "Do you *feel* 'in charge?'"
"Damn Nature! You Scary!"
I'm not at all a dog person, but these wolves are such captivating creatures
Well at least I know where my dog got her socializing skills from....
This is the equivalent of two humans hugging to show others that they are on friendly terms when in reality they are whispering threats to one another
I remember the first time watching this and the way those wolves were interacting with each other something was going to erupt I just didn't know when
Really interesting footage! Very good example of body language that you often see in dogs as well! Which make this a good piece to show for education. But I don’t believe that these are pure wolves, because the dominant one has a too distinct facial pattern. To much white in the face and and very long fur on the tail. They may be upper mid or high content wolfdogs? There are more wolfdogs than pure wolves in the US.. I have met low content and mid/high content wolfdogs myself! And read a lot about how to fenotype them :) But of course you can call a high content a wolf as well, since not even a field biologist can distinguish them from pure wolves. But you can see on their facial pattern that there might be dogs back in their ancestry. On the other hand, the black color of wolves is also believed to originate from dogs. I look forward to follow you and watch your animals!
Or maybe the case is that all Wild wolves that have very distinct white facial patterns have som dog in them a long way back in their ancestry. Several generations back. As with black wolves.
So is this y dogs don't like hugs??
That's a very good point. Maybe so. They may feel like we are trying to dominate them. I like the way you think!
everythingwolf thx! I have a question, I heard that when the wolves are hunting or just traveling around, they keep the oldest and/or weakest wolf in the middle of the pack, is this true?
I not sure about where they would be in a hunt. However, I do know that they all have a job so I'm sure the fastest and strongest have the key positions when hunting.
Actually yes. For Dogs or Wolves placing a hand on the other is a sign of Dominance, so if u hug them they feel dominated.
ASTERDOMY keep in mind they're wild animals they came from wolves so it has a choice it can listen to you or bite the shit out of you because at end of the day dogs have their instincts of a wolf so they will growl or bite you if they feel like they're being dominated
Who’s else was expecting the wolf to t pose?
Alpha was getting pissed because the other refused to submit. They must lay down & show their belly for submission. Notice how at 1:59 one does this to another one & it leaves it alone soon as it happens.
Wow, thanks for explaining this
I love listening to them howling, these animals are absolutely amazing

I WILL NOT SUBMIIIIT!! xd
Every comment: wolves are so gorgeous
Me: Are we just going to ignore the cameraman standing there with a pack of aggressive wolves
Wolves are honestly the best!
I don’t think you guys understand how BIG these things actually are.
