When my mother was a little girl (I'm 76), my grandfather came home one day with a wolf cub that still had it's eyes shut. He had come across a man selling the cubs out of his car truck out by Addick's Dam (Tx.). They bottle fed the cub & it had no problem with my grandfather or my uncle as they were part of his family/pack. My mother told me that the wolf didn't have a problem with strange men that came to their house until they spoke. She said that as soon as a strange man spoke the hair would stand up on his back & he would growl. The wolf didn't have any problem with young boys either, i.e., there was something naturally threatening about the deep male voice of a stranger.
Wolves do not react based of gender unless it is specifically direct trauma. However a deep voice general loud sounds in nature means danger or something threatening. A low voice is less threatening so naturally it is more accepting. This video is clearly biosed and likely romanticizing gender with nature. Wild animals especially the once who fear humans do not differ between genders and certainly doesn’t have in-depth perception.
I took a chimpanzee behavior course with Kevin Hunt (field researcher/chimp behaviorist) and he told us the same is true with chimps. It took him months for the wild chimps to be comfortable near him, but when his wife visited they immediately came up to groom her.
Yeah but THAT could be learned. Either by our society bias towards women being the caretaker for the child, or the way men are shown as more threatening (I mean they are if you look at stats, but like still). At the same time, a lot of men don't know how to interact with children, because they haven't been taught how to. What I mean is a lot of things influence children, studies have shown they can pick up things like racism as early as 5 years-old... I think they only absorb everything they experience, even the wariness of women, or even men towards stranger men.
@@svenjorgensen5 someone didn't understand it💀 It basically means that even though a wolf will tear our body to shreds a man will find ways to violate it in more ways than a wolf would.
My mother was a vet and as a child during weekends I was tasked with caring for three baby wolves. I adored them and since then wolves have a special place in my heart. Years later when I was a teenager I went back to see them. One of them had sadly passed away. The other two were parents and they were at the time with their babies at a similar age I met them They hadn't seen me in years. I looked very different. No longer a child. The mother was with the babies and came right at me. It was difficult for her. With the babies. I thought she was going to see me as a stranger and get defensive. Don't know how she did it but I could tell she knew, despite the years and changes. They are absolutely amazing beings. So much wiser than we are
I took care of a puppy at my grandmas when i was in elementary school. I basically raised the puppy. When school got tougher i couldn't visit nearly as much and I've changed a lot, I'm 18 now. Even so, like 10 years later with very minimal contact the puppy still remembers me and is extremely gentle when i come to pet him despite him shaking from excitement. He doesn't let me go anywhere and squeals in a high pitch whenever he sees me, kind of like crying. From what i was told, baby animas love children because they both are kids and they bond that way. So when we grow up they still remember us because of that special bond.
@@hunnqy3102 I'm sorry you were not able to see each other more. You both deserved it. But you are absolutely right the bond you share is forever. It defies our understanding as humans but it's real. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for raising who I'm sure is a wonderful puppy
Made me think of mythology (unicorns, dragons ect), how many mythological creatures preferred women, whether interacting with them or even capturing them. My mom was especially good with animals of all kinds, they all turned into babies around her, I just assumed it's because she had a very maternal nature. 😅
I was thinking the same, but the disdain for male security is at the center of society. Basically, many of the complex problems we solved before and around the Industrial Revolution were solved in part by throwing men at it. They die or are injured, and we send more until we learn to cross the Atlantic or build big structures, go to space, conquer the other, face predators, build safe industrial machines, etc.
My wife's cat was absolutely terrified of me when she first met me (I'm a man), but had much less of a problem with women. Over time, she's become very affectionate, especially after we moved in together, but I still notice that if I make my voice quieter and higher-pitched, make smaller movements, and don't stand upright at my full height, she's much more likely to give me lots of love. If I come in walking and talking normally, she might still run away from me, despite knowing me for most of her life. She's a very shy kitty and is also afraid of my wife occasionally - but still, the difference is noticeable. I've now developed a full-on "language" with her that I use to make her comfortable, and she loves it!
I wonder how cats/dogs seem to easily be able to tell the difference between male and female humans. It's not like their species share the same gender differences like size, voice pitch and bone structure
@@diablohorer i think they just react to the behaviour instead of really knowing wether the human is male or female, they would still probably be scared of a tall woman with a deep voice and big mannerisms
@@bubbletea-v4717as a tall woman with a deep voice, I am still quite good with animals. People might confuse me for a man, but animals certainly don't. It may be the smell, pheromones, the big movements, or most likely some combination with certain aspects mattering more for various individuals.
I've heard from a friend who has lived in Namibia that for cheetahs it's different: they usually act with humans literary as "big cats", but the males can be skittish to aggressive towards women, they apparently just don't like them most of them times, while they immediately like men. While female cheetahs usually can accept and like everybody, yet particularly women.
@@johnnyboygriffin5764 As I said i just reported what I was told by my friend based on his experience. Yet I don't see how this should be a "contradiction": i don't even think that i was "lost in translation". It just clearly means what i said: generally female cheetahs like everybody (even because he said they are less aggressive than males), but they quickly accept particularly women, which stands out, since he also said that usually male cheetahs instead do not like particularly women. It's just as simple as that and i don't see how it's being a "contradiction". Whether it's true or not, i cannot confirm since i never interacted with cheetahs, i trusted and reported what my friend said, since he lived several years close to them (in an almost domestic environment).
@@freedomforever7252 - In the entire history of human kind women have been tortured, enslaved, raped and murdered by men.. So we share a lot with the wolves.
When I worked at a dog boarding center, we had warning tags on cages with dogs who demonstrated various behaviors. It wasn't too uncommon for dogs to be marked with "prefers women" haha
It's funny that when toxic men call themselves alpha males and refer to themselves as wolves they're claiming a species that hates them. You and me both lol.
That alpha male sh!t is cringe in general. There are strong men and good men, but alpha males dont exist. Just makes you sound like a discord moderator
You do realize alphas don't stem on wolves but other species right? Bottom is that alpha is meant to say Leader regardless of what you are And wolves don't have such things but gorillas do
@@ilikepancakes2368 That’s what I’m saying sheesh. Toxic “alpha males” like to compare themselves to wild animals they think are cool such as wolves without realizing that said animals dislike them. Sheesh. It’s not my fault you have horrible comprehension skills.
We adopted a dog (at about 5 months old) that spent his first months growing up in the wild with his mother and siblings. He accepts women much easier than men and it took him a much longer time to accept me than my wife and daughter. But he did eventually learn to trust me and now we get along great!
My friends had dogs that came from abusive homes and both had a very hard time trusting the men in both families. It took them awhile to accept them, but eventually they did.
Yeah, I call BS I'm a dude and I speak dog,, dogs love me. I take dogs away from their owners, give me 5 minutes they will like me more than the owner they've had for 5 years. I don't know, I've never been around wolves, but I think I would win them over. Girl you're good, but I think I could still take a dog away from you.
Another reason is because canines have slower perception than humans. There's a video on RUclips about how things look and sound to different species. For example, when you throw a ball, to humans it looks like it's speeding through the sky so quickly, but to canines it's going slow. This is how they're able to catch it with speed and accuracy. It's moving slowly according to their perception. The way they hear our voices is different as well. Higher voices sound pleasant to them. But deeper voices sound like "demonic" voices (what we would consider demonic). There's an entire section of research dedicated to this. It's quite interesting. The video explained the difference in perception with many different species. From dogs, to insects, ducks, etc. I think if you search "what the world looks like to dogs" you'll find it.
When I was 7 years old there was a make shift shelter in the woods that we kids used to hang out in. I went inside one cold wintry day and there was a wolf inside giving birth to her cubs. I was stroking her and talking to her in a comforting tone as she gave birth to her cubs. My presence didn't bother her at all and she never once snarled or attempted to attack me. I stayed with her for a few hours after the cubs were born and watched her lovingly taking care of them. It was an experience I'll never forget.
I'm having hard time believing that wolf allowed any human let alone stranger, come close while the wolf giving birth. Dogs while giving birth usually allow only humans that they like and trust most, other family members get growl and maybe a bite. So I having hard time believing in that story. If it did happen, congratz to you for one life time experience and for staying alive.
my son (aged 20) visited the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center last week, and all the wolves loved him. They couldn't get enough of him and all fought to "kiss" him. He spent time with 4 wolves and 2 foxes for an hour and he was told by the guide there it's unusual for all the wolves to like a stranger so much.
I think the wolf 🐺 had a different reaction with him because he’s your son. The wolf can smell that this human male is your “puppy/your pack” and canines are sensitive and respond to that.
I do think it has something to do with body language as well. He is her son, so she treats him a certain way. Dogs communicate a lot through body language. I have seen this. My brother came to visit me and my mum. Our dog acted completely nice and very friendly. They know when you are happy and when when you consider someone as important. There is even an article about how dogs 'read minds' . Very interesting. Dogs and wolves are amazing creatures.
I'd be interested in seeing a side by side interaction of Bosch toward a strange woman and a strange man. He is already familiar and bonded in a way with Anneka, so the results aren't as compelling. I'd also be interested in seeing teens vs adults of both genders. I'm just curious about the behavioral changes between a unfamiliar male and female, not questioning the validity.
@@Murph_gaming They aren't bonding with female humans because they are attracted to them mate. They bond because human females are less threatening. What makes you think females are seeking male humans lol if you learned anything from the video, they should be even more scared of them.
In 2009 I was living with a very abusive man who'd been living off the grid. This creep had two "pet" wolves. Before I escaped i ended up sleeping outside with the wolves. These two beautiful creatures would lick away my tears and snuggle with me.
I love it when parents and teachers teach children to love, appreciate, understand and respect animals and nature. In my local park I often see children chasing after ducks (once I saw them throwing stones at ducks with the grandmother watching and I intervened) and generally running around screaming, trying to break tree branches, wielding sticks and being obnoxious. There's such a culture of ignorance around animals and nature, the sooner this changes the better.
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet I don't live in a religious area, so I don't think that's entirely the reason why, but I do agree that there's a problem with people growing up thinking humans are superior to other animals (we are just another animal after all) which might be partly the fault of certain religions. Another issue is a basic understanding of plants, animals, nature etc is not taught in schools here. So none of the children or parents can name any of the wildflowers for example, and they were calling Guinea fowl chickens. They just find birds and animals cute and funny without caring to understand them further, and they don't seem to notice trees and plants at all. There's a hugely fascinating world of nature to learn about and most people never bother to learn any of it.
BIG and DEEP. Those are the two words people need to remember. Animals see large size and deep vocalizations as intimidating. That's why wolves make low pitched growls and their hair stands on end when they want to intimidate, but they make high pitched vocalizations and shrink their profile when they want to appear non-threatening.
I change my voice to be higher pitched when interacting with my Alpha Female Wolf. She was initially raised by a woman so I figure it puts her at ease more when I speak to her this way. My voice goes back to normal when she misbehaves so she knows when I am serious. This video helped confirm my theory
Interesting, I'm a woman and I've noticed that monkeys in my area NEVER fear women. Doesn't matter if they are carrying a weapon or not. But as soon as a man comes they run away lol.
@@eg4441don't mind them, theese people clearly have unresolved issues with the men in the lives thats festered into bitter,caged up,gremlin tantrums online like a drove of incels.
As a baby, my cousin was very scared of men. Women were no problem. I've always found that concept really interesting, since I couldn't always tell the gender of people as a small child, but this baby apparantly could and cared about it. Perhaps it's the same things going on as with these wolves.
@@imthatjay8477 human babies only develop attachments with familiar adults... But when it comes to strange adults every baby reacts differently, some may start crying, some may go completely silent or even get afraid
My wolfdog is fine with men but you can tell he prefers women and children. And with men if hes told to obey commands from them he wants to challenge slightly via wrestling. Wont bite or growl but will try and tip you over. Hell listen to basic commands from anyone unless certain modes kick in. But beyond very basic stuff, most men are boned. Also pulls harder on walks for men and wont pull on women or children. For me he behaves perfectly though.
This applies to dogs as well. I’ll never forget when I was a teenager I saw a golden retriever and Saint Bernard running down the road in the opposite direction. A guy on a scooter was following behind them slowly. I stopped and got out and the guy yells “careful the Saint Bernard just bit me!” I get down on my knees and call them in a soft voice “here puppies!” They both ran right over and hopped right in my car and I never had any issue. Called their owners and brought them home safely. So many salty men in this comment section 😂
its in their DNA to be scared of men. Men have killed alot of wolves and dogs in the past to survive, first men and wolves compete for the same food sources
Yeah ,it applies to us humans aswel. We would be much more wary of a Bull🐂 than a cow 🐄. We would be more scared of a Giant Silverback gorilla than a female one. A ram more than a ewe🐑. And lastly not the least we would be much more on guard around a strange man than a woman.
I'm no scientist, but based on my passing knowledge of nature documentaries, the theory about men having deeper voices and bigger bodies makes a lot of sense. So many animals intentionally make themselves bigger to try and scare-off other animals.
Yeah, I’ve a dog who hates unknown men, but he also hates ones with hats or sticks more, he won’t even go near them, but his friendliness varies depending on the men
Lots of femcels in the comment sections Why do you get monthly mucus blood leakage ? Why all janitors like your dad hate female locker-rooms ? Lmao . Historically why it was women who were considered dirty and not allowed in holy places ? The reason why wolves are scared of men is the same as why humans are scared of male wolves and lions more . Even tho the lions and male wolves and men amd naturally more attractive from third species point of view but also DANGEROUS as men should be . Males are supposed to be dangerous. Cause we are superior lol
My Belgian Shepherd/Malinois also tends to prefer women to men and does NOT like hats… really just MEN wearing baseball caps specifically. We don’t know why. He’s allegedly a police academy drop out but we know he ended up at a shelter around 6 months old. My sister in law adopted him and DIDNT TRAIN HIM UGH. When she passed away we inherited him and I’ve worked with him. We don’t trust him with strangers as he likes to jump in peoples faces and nip them… but as long as you play with him outside (or probs go for a walk with him too bc when I gave his leash to the vet nurse he accepted her), then you’re “part of his pack” but everyone else is STRANGER DANGER bark bark.
While stature is important for far away, your behavior up close REALLY matters. I’m a pretty calm quiet subdued person, and although I’m not a trainer, it is easier for me to gain the trust of high anxiety, stressed dogs. Gender is only half the battle. You need to be confident, because you’re anxiety will make them more anxious. But you can’t be overly confident because that is intimidating. You can’t be loud and boisterous, you can’t be towering over them. You have to respect them. I think it’s hard for humans to relate to animals, because we’re never really in similar situations (outside prison maybe). I think the most comparable is interacting with your dentist. You’re being put in a situation where you’re being constrained, submissive, and you have to trust the person above you isn’t going to hurt you. If your dentist was highly anxious, overly loud, flapping their arms everywhere, staring you directly in the eye while working on you….. that’s intimidating! And you asked to be put in that chair, the dog/wolf didn’t.
That is a great comparison. You’re right, I would bolt straight out the door if my dentist did that. I really feel for all pets ‘cause they didn’t choose that, while I did and I’m scared,
Okay so this is wild to me. When I was a teenager, we were given a puppy from my mom's coworker, whose "husky" had gotten pregnant when a fox hound mix jumped the fence. She did not tell us she was illegally breeding wolfdogs. Of the puppies, ours, who looked the least like a wolf, was the only one to get the personality, and it came to us as quite a shock when he hit "puberty" and was suddenly acting different. (Long story short, we had a proper enclosure built and did our best for him. Fortunately we lived on a farm so we were more set up for "quarter wolf who thinks he's full wolf" than most people would be. Anyway, I always knew he did not like men, but never knew why. He was fine with my father but his reaction other men ranged from "stand-offish" to "please stay away from the enclosure, I'm pretty sure we built it right but he is definitely trying to kill you." I thought it was just him, never knew it was a wolf thing!
My Granmda used to care for a couple of wolves. A mother and a male puppy. They weren’t aggressive in any way, and I guess that was pretty rare. I wonder why wolves have preferences for genders in people, especially when most mammals typically don’t have a dominant gender. Wolves are one of them.
@@manymomath5466 I don't think they think of it in terms of dominance but just potential threat level to other critters, namely themselves. It's not just strange human males that animals are more likely to avoid, rather animals just tend to steer clear of lone males or males in groups from many mammal species in general because they've learned it's usually bad news. Think adult male bears, tigers hunting or fighting over territory or bachelor herds of elephants, elk in rut or musth etc. They even had to control for lab mice getting more scared of male researchers during experiments and when they play recordings of Maasai people talking to African megafauna they found they're more likely to run away if they play the voices of adult men only while acting as usual if the voices played are mixed with those of women and children. They think it's because they consider a group of Maasai men with no women or children with them = hunting party.
Lots of animals prefer to be around women or are more gentle/affectionate with them, and more cautious around men. I think it has a lot to do with instinct and smelling pheromones' and avoiding potential fights or threats. However, a lot of it is definitely body language, and how they read your energy.
@@relaxative2006 no what mean is that most of the time wolves are more aggressive towards human males, it works both ways honestly. I would be afraid, soooo💀
My dad had been ”followed” by a wild pack in his youth and he says that even if you panick, always remember that as long as you don’t fall down, you have a chance to get away without them trying to get you. They are patient animals and when it comes to “bigger pray” (humans instead of hares etc) they will most likely wait patiently untill you fall on your own before making their move. They know that if they visibly follow you, either you will try to run so you will easier stumble and fall, or you will in the end fall of exhaustion. I guess it’s different when they’re in captivity, but a good thing to remember is to try not to turn your back (goes for big cats too), don’t run and try to stay on your feet. As for me, when I was a kid, I saw 3 wolfs in the forest, but they just looked at me and kept going unbothered by my presence. Maybe because I was a child, maybe because I am female. I guess I will never know. But the reason people believe it’s a made-up story that I saw the wolfs is because most people think that wolfs will attack no matter what. And that is not true. I know that because I have experienced that, but also because I chose to before coming to a conclusion, to seek information first. Now I know that apparently testosterone can make them think differently about you. And as I use to say, you learn as long as you live. I don’t like when people say wolfs are “this” or “that”, making them sound like the most dangerous predator, because they are not. And they deserve us to understand them and to not hunt them “because wolfs are bad and dangerous”.
Wolves are actually a keystone species,especially grey wolves. They have a vital role in the ecosystem and help regulate overpopulation of elk or caribou. It's dangerous if caribou or primary consumers overpopulate becuase if they do then they will lower the population of producers which will cause many species to die and the entire ecosystem to deteriate over time. This was proven a long time ago when grey wolves were in near extinction because humans kept over hunting them believing that they were dangrous and had no positive effect on nature. But when we found out their positive potential we captivated more of them and placed them in harmed ecosystems and in no time they healed the deteriorated ecosystems. It was amazing.
Yes they most likely smelled that you were female and small and younger they saw you as harmless. Another comment stated the same that they experienced seeing a mom wolf giving birth and petted her and stayed with her meanwhile and she never growled or anything to her if anything she instantly trusted her and she was a younger girl to. Wolfs and coyotes tend to shy away from humans and hardly flat out attack a human unless they’re threatening to hurt them and most likely they’ll be intimidated by a bigger male.
The pack thing happened to my mom, but with several stray dogs instead, and it turned out differently because she’s female. When she was in college and out at night, a group of huge stray dogs circled her and completely surrounded her. My mom was terrified! She walked all the way back to her apartment, but the dogs followed and were stilling surrounding her the whole way there. When she got to her apartment, they stopped and let her go inside. I think they were protecting her :)
My Dad had a wolf friend he raised as a cub and brought back from the Yukon in the 60’s. Takita was very wary around my grandfather and uncle, which is eventually why my Dad was forced to rehome him, but before he did, Takita was charged with sleeping in the bedroom with the girls and make sure they were safe through the night. He became so bonded to the kids and women that at night when my uncle would go check in on the girls, he’d open the bedroom door and see his glowing eyes and hear Takita growl at him, and he’d think, yep everything’s fine here and promptly go away lol 😅
I think that because of the relation, the wolf may feel more comfortable around him because he smells SIMILAR to you. Like he can tell that Kai is your pup! Also, theory here, since Kai met the other wolf before puberty(deep voice, hair, larger stature, all caused by heightening testosterone) that may also contribute to why the wolf was more comfortable around Kai. So even though Kai is not an adult man yet, he is still experiencing puberty and is no longer a little boy. Which is why I think that the reason they were even okay with him being around is because he is related to you, Kai’s mother.
actually they don't really care about the smell it true her mother being there is telling that he could trust this person but the first interaction is the most important part
I’ve had many animals scared of men, cats, dogs, rodents. When I look at the shelter around 25%ish have a “fear of men” but I haven’t come across any with the fear or women yet. I know it happens, but it’s sad it’s more common to be scared of men.
@@LunaDarkFall SA has nothing to do with any of this 💀you're just pushing your own agenda here Animals are more scared of males because they present a threat while females are to be conquered or are like motherly figures
@@LunaDarkFall That's absolute horeshit. These wolves were never abused. They'd have no basis for forming such a prejudices. By the way CDC statistics show female on male sexual assault is way more common than people think, just remember they cover for female rapists with the euphemism "made to penetrate" when you look up the statistics.
My grandma told me that love have smell. It can be understood between the beings in love. A woman will look at a child with love but man look at child with curiosity. I think that’s it. A lot of things are working this way. I had a vulture like fierce big bird in my backyard when I was 5 or 6 and we were great friends. I used to feed him with whatever I got. He was super friendly around me even though it’s a full grown bird. My parents weren’t aware of this and I thought he just a friend of my Hen,So we should be friends too. One day I found out that the chickens I lost before a month is actually just this birds food. It made me cry even though he is a good boy now , I could not accept it . After all the cry and everything I visited my backyard to meet him just to talk about what he had caused me. I found him sitting in the same spot but as soon as I went close to him he flew away and never returned. I missed him so much. But he is never seen again.
@@manymomath5466my dog loved me and I loved her. She knew when I was sad and came to comfort me in my room. When I was sick she also came, and she just generally made me a lot happier. Best girl. I never had any problems with her, and I am a man. Just sharing personal experience
@@manymomath5466I'm in stem, although i dont know much about animals, but I believe it was because the first dogs we domesticated weren't domesticated for pets, but they were rather domesticated to help men in hunting,gathering and protecting the camp and such. Moreover these dogs would follow humans even if they weren't fed by the humans, then they would feed over leftover scraps and such of hunt made by humans-- men again. So its only natural they're more accustomed and friendly towards men. Wolves on other hand are friendly towards women because of their voice. Think about it, lions, bears, tigers etc all big dangerous animals have deep and thicker voices, and so are men's, so wolves naturally view men as competition/predators and such.
My dog , well i say my dog its not truly mine. Likes us both . She likes my gf more but thats normal . She raised her as a puppy. Tho deep inside id say she likes us both just as much. She sometimes gives me too much affection tho and im like please dont do that if you know what i mean.
Dogs have evolved for thousands of years to live among humans...this meant having to successfully live among men as much as women.....wolves have not had that....
Very interesting! In the 1980s I had a female wolf and a male wolf-hybrid. My wolf was extremely wary of men, especially strangers. She would run and keep a distance from them. She also never allowed my father, who lived with me, to ever approach her. This made him really sad. When she had pups, she even bit him on the leg a couple of times in the first weeks anytime he was in the yard. Not a dangerous bite, just a "warning bite". I always wondered if it was due to her being a rather small wolf (63 lbs) that she felt frightened of large male creatures. I must add too, that she was also terrified of male dogs that were much larger than her. She accepted male dogs of approx. her size or smaller though and wanted to befriend them.
@@nammi895 Don't be ridiculous. That my she-wolf was frightened of men and felt safer with women has ZERO to do with her sexual preference to other wolves.
Women are so lucky to be trusted by this fabulous animal. Wolves are smart. Trust is paramount for any living beings. It's a huge quality to be someone other people or animals can trust.
It's absolutely true. My sister owns a German shepherd and it prefers her over her husband by a factor of 100. Interestingly he likes me as well, because I think he can smell that I am her sibling.
It's interesting to wonder whether the preference for female humans amongst most animal species had an effect on why most dieties in human religion responsibile for the forest and the beasts that dwell within happen to usually be goddesses, not gods. Even the idea of "Mother nature," seems to admit to this.
Not at all. Mother Nature is about fertility and nurturing to create and sustain human life, specifically about farming rather than the wilderness (which no one cared about the growth of back then). As it's farming that a lot of premodern cultures are based on. Famine and failed crops is the antithesis, as everyone dies. So the earth's fertility and the rains are the most important things set above all else. The earth is a womb. It's all associations with humans.
Always loved the mythology of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, wilderness, the forest and the moon! IIRC Homer even called her "the mistress of animals". EDIT: Just looked her up and it seems like she was also both, the goddess of childbirth and goddess of sudden death! Very interesting, like she is two sides of the same coin and full of complex symbolism.
i actually got to experience this phenomenon first hand. Since i'm ftm, i take testosterone. Before i started it, animals were much friendlier to me, and now after, they're wary. They open up to my affection after i give them food though!
I'm 70 and I love plants and animals. I have met some "vicious" dogs many times. 99% of the time (in addition to voice and movement) I find that singing from the heart in a non-threatening way often calms and surprises the animal.
As a foster in rescue and someone who has fostered several feral dogs, I was taught that ferals are often fearful of teenagers because of the way they carry themselves, often upright and energetic, though, of course, not true of all. So good on Kai for being mindful of his posture and not making direct eye contact. Thank you for this educational video! And just to be clear, we only take ferals off the street if their pack is not thriving, they are in danger, injured, or lost the rest of their pack and are left alone.
@@danielfatone3994 they need both. clearly, you don't volunteer in rescue and see animals euthanized day in and day out, or being starved chained up in someone's backyard. Without fosters, these animals die. So, yes, they need protection AND respect. Volunteer at a shelter or a rescue and maybe you'll understand that.
darladawn11 idc that u work in that field lol ur not supposed to protect nature , just like the whole “saving the world” is a bunch of bs, it’s really t he other way around nature exists to protect us humans and heal us
@@peachy_talismanI wouldn’t necessarily reccomend it but I would say do ALOT of research. Theyre hybrid meaning their temperament is not necessarily as good as a domesticated dog .. they are fierce and restless and will harm other pets and people without hesitation to protect you 😊 I would recommend watching Cesar Milan I believe he made episodes on people who own wolf dogs and the challenges they face. I know a person who has wolf dog and they do a lot to take care of him… he’s extra sweet and docile with women/children he’s familiar with but men he’s very mischievous and trickster 😂 has way more energy than the average dog and his raw meat diet is required so it’s alot pricier to upkeep him plus his grooming since has a very thick fur similar to a husky but probably tougher. Their wild traits will come up here and there but you have to be a pro in handling them and know what they require. If you don’t have the time nor the money please don’t do it it’ll only cause the animal to suffer by not having his needs met.
@@fabibi_haA pasture isn’t good enough. I had a wolf dog (80% wolf, they call that a ‘hybrid’) when I lived in the US, but I lived in the forest and I let him roam free, be who he was as much as I could. He was my soulmate.
they fear the bigger structure of a man and the strong scent of testosterone which makes the wolf think he may be more dominant and with women it doesn't get that scent of testosterone so they view them as inferior like other pack members and there are multiple other than this that shows dogs/wolves once a man tames it the dog submits to him and respect him more than woman
@@leonardogandini147 being independent and wanting equality doesnt mean that men and women shouldnt help eachother 😦 we are humans, we should work together
It took almost 5 years for my wolfdog to finally be comfortable with my partner who is a tall man and she loved him so much in the last 2 years of her life. I'm glad he got to experience her love because she was so sweet.
I think it's the same for cats, too. I started feeding the feral cats in my area after their previous humans were gone. I didn't intend to tame them. I just wanted to make sure that everyone got food and no one had to fight with anyone else to do so. But very quickly the cats became tame. My neighbor, also female, joined in. Now all the previously feral cats are named and come running when I go outside and come when the neighbor calls. They want food, but also beg for pets with or without food. But a young man moved in with my neighbor along with his young wife. The cats have accepted the young wife, but not the man. He tries to become feiends with them. But only the tamest of them will come close to him. The young man doesn't seem all that masculine to me. But when I asked him to help his wife and I move a heavy box he picked it up as though it was empty. And when I asked him to carry a bag of dog food that I am no longer able to lift myself he picked it up like it was marshmallows instead of dog food. This without looking particularly strong at all. There is more to being biologically male than meats the eye. And animals are able to pick up on this, whether the man lifts anything at all. And they sense biologically female without my trying to tame anyone. Whether it's pheromones or something else the animals know.
@@powerandpresence5290 I think it's more likely that you have pheromones that put them at ease than that you're missing what would turn them off. Pheromone vile half full kind of thing. 😊
@@abyssstrider2547 That does make sense since male cats tend to be so competitive with each other. At least unneutered ones. The female cats wouldn't have that clash with you.
Yep. My cats are afraid of my dad to death but when my mom is around they're happy, even though my dad has always been with the cats they just don't like him
I have a rescue dog who is very fearful. It took her about three days to start trusting me. It took her three months to start trusting my husband. Even to this day she is likely to come hide next to me if he does something that make noise. I hadn't really noticed before we had her, but the way my husband moves through the house is drastically different from me. He makes noise when he walks, he takes up more space with his movements, he picks up and puts things down with more force than I do. Add to that the smell and voice and it is easy to see why most animals have an easier time approaching women.
I mean, I’m not a dog lol but as someone who grew up in a somewhat unstable household, I was hyper aware of these differences as a kid. Always listening in and assessing if the situation was ok for me to make any noise or move around freely, it was exhausting. If it’s something you didn’t notice that’s great, means there was no reason for you to be on guard
Wolves are such awesome animals and I've always been fascinated with them. Over a year ago, my dad told me about this story of a Chinese lady who managed to find and rescue the only wolf pup that survived because his parents were killed by hunters. She raised him with this other guy (I'm not too sure if they are a couple) and they planned to train him in and return him to where the wolf was born (of course, she also had to go out into the wild with him to find him a pack!). The entire journey of them doing so was quite arduous, dangerous but also very touching. When the lady was sick, the wolf knew and gave her a pika through the window, and when the lady and the guy were trying to take him back into the wild to look for a pack, they became reliant on him to hunt for food! Despite the lady stealing the pika from the wolf's hiding spot, the wolf still hid his food at the same hiding spot knowing that they were the ones stealing the food! Later on, after the wolf was successfully returned to the wild, the lady would go there to visit every few years, for the first few times, the wolf would run up to her and lick her, but later on the the wolf was wary of her because some humans killed the wolf's pups. This story is called return to the wolves and it's been written into two books (though in Chinese), and there is also a documentary (it's not as well made as a movie since it's pieced together with whatever recordings they managed to get). They are really worth checking out!
@@Drunkgg775 why shouldnt women hate men out of fear, men themselves arent safe from other men. yall dont trust eachother and warn your daughters about men but get mad when we show the same fear you guys teach your daughters
I think this can apply to other animals aswell. Our dog is scared of adult men, even my father who she has lived with for quite a while. Even when my father would play with my younger brother she would let my father know by barking if she thought they were not playing carefully, but if I'd do the same as an almost grown woman she would not say anything.
Your son seems like a very nice young man; always happy to see a well educated child, but im SO ENVIOUS OF YOU BOTH omg id love to meet a wolf (safely for both of us ofc) but there arent any where i live T.T
My dog is similar! She will always greet female strangers but barks at and gets scared of men she doesn't know. She takes a lot longer to warm up to our male friends, especially those who are taller/larger men.
This is why in Mythology..Women are connected with nature and are , in many cultures,Symbolically worshipped like a goddess the same way Mother Nature gave birth to everyone and everything hence is considered a goddess .. Women are just closer to nature than men..
A lot of dogs are like this with male strangers, especially when the dog is with their family. When I first met my wife and was brought home they had a Chow named Pepper. She warned me that Pepper would be overprotective and never get close to me. I told her she was wrong. (Her ex boyfriend had never been able to get close.) It took me less than 5 minutes to make friends with Pepper, a bit longer to be fully accepted. Rule #1 was to make myself less of a threat. I was considerably larger than her Ex, but knew that height was a threat. So I sat on the floor. Then I let the dog come to me. I made it easier to get my scent by reaching out a bit. (Easier for the dog to back off out of reach.) Then I gradually puled my hand closer to me. One I was able to give a snack and scratch behind ears, I was a friend for life. The funny thing was I was soon almost more accepted than my Ex and her family. I am not a big fan of pets, but for some reason they like me.
A female friend of mine got a male wolfdog at about 7-8 weeks old, and he grew up in pretty much a college house: 6 guys and only 1 girl. We were like his modern day pack, if anyone would try to wrestle or physically push one of us, joke or not, he would growl and get protective of us… The amount of trust and the bond we had felt different than any regular dog, i miss that 🐺
that is called resource guarding... sure it seems cool having a dog be protective of their owners but it can be a bad habit for a dog to have if you cannot control it and command the dog to settle down, cuz u dont want a kid to get bit by the dog when playing around near the dog.
I’m a 6’1 male who has never had a problem introducing myself to dogs and dingoes just by squatting down and doing everything slowly. I wonder if scientists arguing about dingoes being wolves or dogs shouldn’t be introducing themselves to both to note differences?
Same, I'm a 6'2 male and I've never had problems introducing myself to any animal really. Animals seem to trust me for some strange reason. Like, a wild rabbit let me get within two feet of it the other day. Once, I was peeing outside, as you do where I'm from, and while in the act a momma deer and her fawn appear out of nowhere and walk by me nonchalantly, no more than five feet away. Startled me way more than it did them. I'll say this and immediately get attacked by something, lol.
I didn't think there was much argument about what dingoes are - they're a form of wild dog but more closely related to canis domesticus than canis lupus. Based on behaviour, they're on a spectrum and sit somewhere in between the more wolf-like dogs and actual wolves. Flat faced dogs are at the opposite end of the spectrum to wolves - they are the best at reading human emotions, dingoes aren't all that great at doing it.
@@spracketskooch That sounds exciting. I've only ever been good with canines - most animals see me as they would any other strange animal and I'm not especially great with introducing myself to other people either.
It is the same with African wildlife. That's why Damien Mander uses an all women team to prevent poaching. The animals hear men's voices and become agitated. Women's voices they become calm. Another reason is because canines have slower perception than humans. There's a video on RUclips about how things look and sound to different species. For example, when you throw a ball, to humans it looks like it's speeding through the sky so quickly, but to canines it's going slow. This is how they're able to catch it with speed and accuracy. It's moving slowly according to their perception. The way they hear our voices is different as well. Higher voices sound pleasant to them. But deeper voices sound like "demonic" voices (what we would consider demonic). There's an entire section of research dedicated to this. It's quite interesting. The video explained the difference in perception with many different species. From dogs, to insects, ducks, etc. I think if you search "what the world looks like to dogs" you'll find it.
I was instantly fascinated by her sons name, Kai. This woman has made her lifes' work about wolves and I am a dog trainer. I have trained my dogs to only release from a stay position using the word "kai". How interesting when things link up like that.
Should be the other way around. I'm apprehensive about every woman I meet because of modern day Barbie bimbo. I mean the amount of baby killing is pretty gross. I know it's off topic but since you are trying to feel like women are these gentle sweet creatures that's why animals aren't afraid of them and men are just bad right off the bat basically. Alot of women actually sexualy abuse their dogs and let them go to pound town on them.
@@gummynoodles9036 It applies to most animals including dogs who are close cousins of wolves. Animals (including female wolves and dogs) are weary of other bigger high T animals, in this case men.

This is true for some dogs too. My brother had a dog, who liked being around women, and was super chill around women. But when I took her for walks outside, if a male was around- she would bark and growl and lunge like crazy! If a woman came around, she wouldn’t do anything. She would even bark at my brother when she left me, and had to go back with him…. I also lived with a dog for a short period of time, who wouldn’t really listen to his male owner, but he would always listen to me and my mom. I guess It’s safe to say… Animals know 🤣. Aww coming back to read this after getting a notification- My brother’s dog died like a month after writing this comment 🥺😢. RIP Bepa…. 💔
Thanks Anneka❤ That was fantastic Kai got to interact with Bosch.😁🐺 In addition to the body language, changing his voice to high pitch tone was extremely useful. I purposely lower my voice to let my dog know I am being really seriuos about something.
Reminds me of when I met a male dog, I don’t remember what breed but he was a big as a German Shepherd, who had been tortured by his previous male owner. For obvious reasons he didn’t trust men or even teenagers at all but was very affectionate towards his new mama. I didn’t need to be told that this poor dog had been traumatized because I could tell from how he looked like me. So in response I relaxed, stood perfectly still and didn’t speak. I did however look at him and did my best to show that he had no reason to be afraid. No more than 20 seconds later he approached me and asked for pets. Not sure if it’s similar to this case but his mama did tell me that I was the first male he was comfortable to be around and she had him in her care for years. Either way the basic message is the same. Don’t do anything to scare dogs or wolves and Earning their trust takes time and patience.
Great Mom & remarkable Conservationist. Surely, this Young Man is well loved and destine to become a greta man himself. As to the Wolves, they're magnificient & deserves to be protected.
Me and my best friend have male dogs and we see that they are more trusting with woman than men. Both are adopted and probably were treated poorly before( and probably by men) , so this is also true for dogs sometimes
No you dummy, didn't you watch the video! male canines usually avoid male humans because they can sense testosterone. Just because you were treated poorly by men doesn't mean men treat others poorly! it's just you!
u have no evidence they were treated badly, they could also just be timid and overly cautious of men, they are smart animals. they sense men have the potential to be more dangerous in general
@@soldatheero Men become so prickly when the topic of their gender doing bad comes up. It's all over this video's comment section and you're doing it too lmao
@@theAntiCauliflowerwhat part of what he said is incorrect? Also, no comment is saying what you're telling, everybody is just sharing their experiences. Hop off the cope train
@@theAntiCauliflower Dogs are also known to be friendlier with older women than younger women, but really I think those dogs have been treated poorly (probably by younger women). Like seriously, would you be more comfortable in a room with a male or female gorilla? Both genders are shy and reserved, and only act out of self-defense. The male is objectively larger, it's gait is wider/longer, it has larger teeth, more pronounced musculature, is standing/sitting on all 4s, and the female is fluffier, rounder, and has relaxed sitting posture. Cheetahs are apparently the opposite, I think we should assume that cheetahs are getting abused by women. /s
Pretty sure the video explained it well in the start; its just that men are larger and have deeper voices, so that comes off as more of a threat. Wolves being more fearful of the males of our species makes sense, as it often is with most mammals
This is the first I’ve heard of this I volunteered at a wolf reserve regularly before Covid. The wolves actually love the beards on men heck when I’m with them it’s the first thing they go for. However females do tend to respond a lot better to me than the males. One female made me a pack member lol 😆
Yea she rubbed her fur all over me and wouldn’t let any other wolves near me. I smelled just like a wet dog afterwards lol. But it was rewarding. 4 years later she knew exactly who I was still loving on me the same. it’s like a lifetime imprint
@@FriendlyGhost-rf7tq Generally speaking, however I think it has more to do with how you treat them. No animal wants to be yelled at or treated harshly and given commands with no rewards.
02:30 Correct me if I'm wrong, because I am quite honestly not a wolf expert, and would want to be corrected if I'm wrong. But I think I read or heard somewhere that wolves, when they are born, already kind of know things about life as a wolf, something about the parent's experiences or knowledge being transferred to the offspring somehow during the pregnancy. Assuming I'm not completely wrong, and that this is true at least to a certain extent, then wouldn't it also be possible that wolves are normally more afraid of human males because, statistically speaking, I'd imagine that there are far more human male hunters that wolves would have encountered and understood are dangerous, and would then have given that knowledge to their offspring and other wolves?
Interesting. Now I understand more why the male wolves/wolf-dogs Ive met have treated me incredibly sweetly, like a female--gentle, somewhat submissive, dont want to roughhouse... I'm a 6' deep voiced female, but obviously give off the right smells & signals. Cool. This certainly explains my observations.
Oh thank god. I'm 5'10 with a somewhat huskier/ deeper voice than is the median for women and this reassures me 🤣 My pack of 5 GSD's were extra gently and friendly with women and young children, but completely indifferent towards men. I was their main person growing up but then they died and I've yet to meet a big working dog I feel like I have that level of comfort with. I was the only one they tolerated to brush their teeth, and it didn't matter if the entire family was somewhere else, they'd just follow me around no matter where I wandered on our farm. I have zero experience with wolves but with dogs I've noticed they tend to have preferences based on who raised them. There's a very sweet little poodle mix who loves both my partner and I but will always rush to my partner first to say hello. Conversely, someone I know who has a fearsome Chow Chow who just dislikes men. Another friend has a mutt who definitely prefers men and is indifferent to women. It's all very strange. Honestly at this point, I've met Golden Retrievers that I'm wary of, and big stray mutts that are sweet as babies.
before even watching the vid, here's my prediction based on my experiences with animals: men are taller, more muscular, smell more like testosterone (dogs noses are many times more sensitive, hence why we have drug and bomb sniffing dogs), men have more blocky movements because of the more muscles (as in, not as refined or smooth and flowy like females), lower tone voices (that sound like intimidating or weird growling since they lower their voice to growl) thus they look at men like they are either another male wolf (competition for females) or an animal that's about to attack since they smell of testosterone so they are immediately in the fight or flight mode females they treat like another female wolf and act affectionate towards them since they are the opposite of the above
This may be a trend or statistically accurate. But I had a neighbor with a full bred wolf pet. I used to feed it and her dog when she had to be gone too long. That wolf always liked me from the beginning. I believe before I ever fed it. I will say this, that my current dog, a min pin/chihuahua mix definitely loves women more than men. He is friendly with men but turns on the charm when he encounters women. Cracks me up.
Wow, that’s really amazing that your neighbor had a pet wolf and you got to take care of it sometimes. What a lovely memory that must be! Your sweet little dog has me laughing, that he turns on the charm when meeting women- that’s too funny!
I guess this is probably part of what goes into making a good guard dog, genetically speaking. A tendency on the part of wolves to distrust unknown big, loud and aggressive people and even caution specifically about men is probably useful, if you want a dog to protect vulnerable and known people from aggressive strangers. Of course, if you're too nonthreatening to an animals with predatory instincts, it might get aggressive with you or try to push you around, so it would be interesting to talk about how the lines get drawn here - how wolves and dogs think about power relationships.
Animals usually think the bigger the scarier but as you said the movements and voice has also a part. But most importantly hormones . Predatory animals can smell testosterone which makes males aggressive and potentially a big threat. So animals usually avoid bigger males with high T levels. And conversely they can smell the stress hormone of a preys which is released when they are under fear. So if they smell fear they are likely to attack

When my mother was a little girl (I'm 76), my grandfather came home one day with a wolf cub that still had it's eyes shut. He had come across a man selling the cubs out of his car truck out by Addick's Dam (Tx.). They bottle fed the cub & it had no problem with my grandfather or my uncle as they were part of his family/pack. My mother told me that the wolf didn't have a problem with strange men that came to their house until they spoke. She said that as soon as a strange man spoke the hair would stand up on his back & he would growl. The wolf didn't have any problem with young boys either, i.e., there was something naturally threatening about the deep male voice of a stranger.
Huh. Maybe to them it sounds like growling? Wolf growls and snarls do tend to be pretty low.
Harmonics
Perhaps they take that as a growl when men with deep voice talk ?
Wolves do not react based of gender unless it is specifically direct trauma. However a deep voice general loud sounds in nature means danger or something threatening. A low voice is less threatening so naturally it is more accepting. This video is clearly biosed and likely romanticizing gender with nature. Wild animals especially the once who fear humans do not differ between genders and certainly doesn’t have in-depth perception.
Makes sense. Grown man is more threatening

My mother was a vet and as a child during weekends I was tasked with caring for three baby wolves. I adored them and since then wolves have a special place in my heart.
Years later when I was a teenager I went back to see them. One of them had sadly passed away. The other two were parents and they were at the time with their babies at a similar age I met them
They hadn't seen me in years. I looked very different. No longer a child.
The mother was with the babies and came right at me. It was difficult for her. With the babies. I thought she was going to see me as a stranger and get defensive. Don't know how she did it but I could tell she knew, despite the years and changes. They are absolutely amazing beings. So much wiser than we are

My wife's cat was absolutely terrified of me when she first met me (I'm a man), but had much less of a problem with women. Over time, she's become very affectionate, especially after we moved in together, but I still notice that if I make my voice quieter and higher-pitched, make smaller movements, and don't stand upright at my full height, she's much more likely to give me lots of love. If I come in walking and talking normally, she might still run away from me, despite knowing me for most of her life. She's a very shy kitty and is also afraid of my wife occasionally - but still, the difference is noticeable. I've now developed a full-on "language" with her that I use to make her comfortable, and she loves it!

I've heard from a friend who has lived in Namibia that for cheetahs it's different: they usually act with humans literary as "big cats", but the males can be skittish to aggressive towards women, they apparently just don't like them most of them times, while they immediately like men. While female cheetahs usually can accept and like everybody, yet particularly women.
how interesting!
I believe it's for both sexes, Dolph does videos on Cheetah's and it's tougher to get them to warm up to women.

How can they like everyone but particularly women? Isn't that a contradiction?
@@johnnyboygriffin5764 As I said i just reported what I was told by my friend based on his experience.

It's just as simple as that and i don't see how it's being a "contradiction". Whether it's true or not, i cannot confirm since i never interacted with cheetahs, i trusted and reported what my friend said, since he lived several years close to them (in an almost domestic environment).

We adopted a dog (at about 5 months old) that spent his first months growing up in the wild with his mother and siblings. He accepts women much easier than men and it took him a much longer time to accept me than my wife and daughter. But he did eventually learn to trust me and now we get along great!
My friends had dogs that came from abusive homes and both had a very hard time trusting the men in both families. It took them awhile to accept them, but eventually they did.
Yeah, I call BS I'm a dude and I speak dog,, dogs love me. I take dogs away from their owners, give me 5 minutes they will like me more than the owner they've had for 5 years.

@@jeffk464get over yourself. Your few little experiences don't cancel out decades of research on this topic
Another reason is because canines have slower perception than humans. There's a video on RUclips about how things look and sound to different species. For example, when you throw a ball, to humans it looks like it's speeding through the sky so quickly, but to canines it's going slow. This is how they're able to catch it with speed and accuracy. It's moving slowly according to their perception.
The way they hear our voices is different as well. Higher voices sound pleasant to them. But deeper voices sound like "demonic" voices (what we would consider demonic). There's an entire section of research dedicated to this. It's quite interesting. The video explained the difference in perception with many different species. From dogs, to insects, ducks, etc.
I think if you search "what the world looks like to dogs" you'll find it.

When I was 7 years old there was a make shift shelter in the woods that we kids used to hang out in. I went inside one cold wintry day and there was a wolf inside giving birth to her cubs.
I was stroking her and talking to her in a comforting tone as she gave birth to her cubs. My presence didn't bother her at all and she never once snarled or attempted to attack me. I stayed with her for a few hours after the cubs were born and watched her lovingly taking care of them.
It was an experience I'll never forget.

I'm having hard time believing that wolf allowed any human let alone stranger, come close while the wolf giving birth.

If it did happen, congratz to you for one life time experience and for staying alive.
wauw thats an amazing thing to withniss.
my son (aged 20) visited the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center last week, and all the wolves loved him. They couldn't get enough of him and all fought to "kiss" him. He spent time with 4 wolves and 2 foxes for an hour and he was told by the guide there it's unusual for all the wolves to like a stranger so much.
How cute❤❤❤

Even trans man would smell like testosterone due to their hormone injections. Testosterone leads to a lower voice as well.
@@LarryWaterunless they went through hormone therapy, I don’t think it has an impact
Your son is definitely an effeminate man
I think the wolf 🐺 had a different reaction with him because he’s your son. The wolf can smell that this human male is your “puppy/your pack” and canines are sensitive and respond to that.
I do think it has something to do with body language as well. He is her son, so she treats him a certain way. Dogs communicate a lot through body language. I have seen this. My brother came to visit me and my mum. Our dog acted completely nice and very friendly. They know when you are happy and when when you consider someone as important. There is even an article about how dogs 'read minds' . Very interesting. Dogs and wolves are amazing creatures.

I love it when parents and teachers teach children to love, appreciate, understand and respect animals and nature. In my local park I often see children chasing after ducks (once I saw them throwing stones at ducks with the grandmother watching and I intervened) and generally running around screaming, trying to break tree branches, wielding sticks and being obnoxious. There's such a culture of ignorance around animals and nature, the sooner this changes the better.
Because religion has taught humans that we have dominion over the planet and people interpret that as "do what you want"
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet I don't live in a religious area, so I don't think that's entirely the reason why, but I do agree that there's a problem with people growing up thinking humans are superior to other animals (we are just another animal after all) which might be partly the fault of certain religions. Another issue is a basic understanding of plants, animals, nature etc is not taught in schools here. So none of the children or parents can name any of the wildflowers for example, and they were calling Guinea fowl chickens. They just find birds and animals cute and funny without caring to understand them further, and they don't seem to notice trees and plants at all. There's a hugely fascinating world of nature to learn about and most people never bother to learn any of it.
I completely agree. I love those kinds of parents too ^^
They are enacting their evolutionary instincts. Chasing animals with sticks (aka hunting with spears) was the first step towards human civilization
@@ASMRyouVEGANyetNot religion but evolution. Humans hunted and tamed nature to get to where we are not by sitting around and singing vegan kumbaya
BIG and DEEP. Those are the two words people need to remember. Animals see large size and deep vocalizations as intimidating. That's why wolves make low pitched growls and their hair stands on end when they want to intimidate, but they make high pitched vocalizations and shrink their profile when they want to appear non-threatening.
I change my voice to be higher pitched when interacting with my Alpha Female Wolf.
She was initially raised by a woman so I figure it puts her at ease more when I speak to her this way. My voice goes back to normal when she misbehaves so she knows when I am serious. This video helped confirm my theory

This applies to dogs as well. I’ll never forget when I was a teenager I saw a golden retriever and Saint Bernard running down the road in the opposite direction. A guy on a scooter was following behind them slowly. I stopped and got out and the guy yells “careful the Saint Bernard just bit me!” I get down on my knees and call them in a soft voice “here puppies!” They both ran right over and hopped right in my car and I never had any issue. Called their owners and brought them home safely.

Totally! I've known several dogs that were wary of men and boys but great were great with woman and girls.
its in their DNA to be scared of men. Men have killed alot of wolves and dogs in the past to survive, first men and wolves compete for the same food sources
Yeah ,it applies to us humans aswel. We would be much more wary of a Bull🐂 than a cow 🐄. We would be more scared of a Giant Silverback gorilla than a female one. A ram more than a ewe🐑. And lastly not the least we would be much more on guard around a strange man than a woman.

I'm no scientist, but based on my passing knowledge of nature documentaries, the theory about men having deeper voices and bigger bodies makes a lot of sense. So many animals intentionally make themselves bigger to try and scare-off other animals.
It also lines up with how he reacted in the video when he raised the pitch of his voice and kneeled down the wolf wasnt as wary of him

Lots of femcels in the comment sections
Why do you get monthly mucus blood leakage ? Why all janitors like your dad hate female locker-rooms ? Lmao . Historically why it was women who were considered dirty and not allowed in holy places ?
The reason why wolves are scared of men is the same as why humans are scared of male wolves and lions more .
Even tho the lions and male wolves and men amd naturally more attractive from third species point of view but also DANGEROUS as men should be . Males are supposed to be dangerous. Cause we are superior lol
We see lions and other male specie as the more powerful and also more attractive ones .
My Belgian Shepherd/Malinois also tends to prefer women to men and does NOT like hats… really just MEN wearing baseball caps specifically. We don’t know why. He’s allegedly a police academy drop out but we know he ended up at a shelter around 6 months old. My sister in law adopted him and DIDNT TRAIN HIM UGH. When she passed away we inherited him and I’ve worked with him. We don’t trust him with strangers as he likes to jump in peoples faces and nip them… but as long as you play with him outside (or probs go for a walk with him too bc when I gave his leash to the vet nurse he accepted her), then you’re “part of his pack” but everyone else is STRANGER DANGER bark bark.

While stature is important for far away, your behavior up close REALLY matters. I’m a pretty calm quiet subdued person, and although I’m not a trainer, it is easier for me to gain the trust of high anxiety, stressed dogs. Gender is only half the battle.
You need to be confident, because you’re anxiety will make them more anxious. But you can’t be overly confident because that is intimidating. You can’t be loud and boisterous, you can’t be towering over them. You have to respect them.
I think it’s hard for humans to relate to animals, because we’re never really in similar situations (outside prison maybe). I think the most comparable is interacting with your dentist. You’re being put in a situation where you’re being constrained, submissive, and you have to trust the person above you isn’t going to hurt you. If your dentist was highly anxious, overly loud, flapping their arms everywhere, staring you directly in the eye while working on you….. that’s intimidating! And you asked to be put in that chair, the dog/wolf didn’t.
That is a great comparison. You’re right, I would bolt straight out the door if my dentist did that. I really feel for all pets ‘cause they didn’t choose that, while I did and I’m scared,

Okay so this is wild to me. When I was a teenager, we were given a puppy from my mom's coworker, whose "husky" had gotten pregnant when a fox hound mix jumped the fence. She did not tell us she was illegally breeding wolfdogs. Of the puppies, ours, who looked the least like a wolf, was the only one to get the personality, and it came to us as quite a shock when he hit "puberty" and was suddenly acting different. (Long story short, we had a proper enclosure built and did our best for him. Fortunately we lived on a farm so we were more set up for "quarter wolf who thinks he's full wolf" than most people would be. Anyway, I always knew he did not like men, but never knew why. He was fine with my father but his reaction other men ranged from "stand-offish" to "please stay away from the enclosure, I'm pretty sure we built it right but he is definitely trying to kill you." I thought it was just him, never knew it was a wolf thing!
My Granmda used to care for a couple of wolves. A mother and a male puppy. They weren’t aggressive in any way, and I guess that was pretty rare. I wonder why wolves have preferences for genders in people, especially when most mammals typically don’t have a dominant gender. Wolves are one of them.
@@manymomath5466 I don't think they think of it in terms of dominance but just potential threat level to other critters, namely themselves. It's not just strange human males that animals are more likely to avoid, rather animals just tend to steer clear of lone males or males in groups from many mammal species in general because they've learned it's usually bad news. Think adult male bears, tigers hunting or fighting over territory or bachelor herds of elephants, elk in rut or musth etc. They even had to control for lab mice getting more scared of male researchers during experiments and when they play recordings of Maasai people talking to African megafauna they found they're more likely to run away if they play the voices of adult men only while acting as usual if the voices played are mixed with those of women and children. They think it's because they consider a group of Maasai men with no women or children with them = hunting party.
Lots of animals prefer to be around women or are more gentle/affectionate with them, and more cautious around men. I think it has a lot to do with instinct and smelling pheromones' and avoiding potential fights or threats. However, a lot of it is definitely body language, and how they read your energy.

Non-sensical animalistic fear. If you are afraid of people just because of their gender in most western societies at least, seek help.
My dad had been ”followed” by a wild pack in his youth and he says that even if you panick, always remember that as long as you don’t fall down, you have a chance to get away without them trying to get you. They are patient animals and when it comes to “bigger pray” (humans instead of hares etc) they will most likely wait patiently untill you fall on your own before making their move. They know that if they visibly follow you, either you will try to run so you will easier stumble and fall, or you will in the end fall of exhaustion. I guess it’s different when they’re in captivity, but a good thing to remember is to try not to turn your back (goes for big cats too), don’t run and try to stay on your feet.
As for me, when I was a kid, I saw 3 wolfs in the forest, but they just looked at me and kept going unbothered by my presence. Maybe because I was a child, maybe because I am female. I guess I will never know. But the reason people believe it’s a made-up story that I saw the wolfs is because most people think that wolfs will attack no matter what. And that is not true. I know that because I have experienced that, but also because I chose to before coming to a conclusion, to seek information first. Now I know that apparently testosterone can make them think differently about you. And as I use to say, you learn as long as you live. I don’t like when people say wolfs are “this” or “that”, making them sound like the most dangerous predator, because they are not. And they deserve us to understand them and to not hunt them “because wolfs are bad and dangerous”.
Humans are the most dangerous (and irresponsible) animal on this planet.
Wolves are actually a keystone species,especially grey wolves. They have a vital role in the ecosystem and help regulate overpopulation of elk or caribou. It's dangerous if caribou or primary consumers overpopulate becuase if they do then they will lower the population of producers which will cause many species to die and the entire ecosystem to deteriate over time. This was proven a long time ago when grey wolves were in near extinction because humans kept over hunting them believing that they were dangrous and had no positive effect on nature. But when we found out their positive potential we captivated more of them and placed them in harmed ecosystems and in no time they healed the deteriorated ecosystems. It was amazing.
Yes they most likely smelled that you were female and small and younger they saw you as harmless. Another comment stated the same that they experienced seeing a mom wolf giving birth and petted her and stayed with her meanwhile and she never growled or anything to her if anything she instantly trusted her and she was a younger girl to. Wolfs and coyotes tend to shy away from humans and hardly flat out attack a human unless they’re threatening to hurt them and most likely they’ll be intimidated by a bigger male.
The pack thing happened to my mom, but with several stray dogs instead, and it turned out differently because she’s female. When she was in college and out at night, a group of huge stray dogs circled her and completely surrounded her. My mom was terrified! She walked all the way back to her apartment, but the dogs followed and were stilling surrounding her the whole way there. When she got to her apartment, they stopped and let her go inside. I think they were protecting her :)
Most wild animals avoid confrontation if they can, I believe you!
My Dad had a wolf friend he raised as a cub and brought back from the Yukon in the 60’s. Takita was very wary around my grandfather and uncle, which is eventually why my Dad was forced to rehome him, but before he did, Takita was charged with sleeping in the bedroom with the girls and make sure they were safe through the night. He became so bonded to the kids and women that at night when my uncle would go check in on the girls, he’d open the bedroom door and see his glowing eyes and hear Takita growl at him, and he’d think, yep everything’s fine here and promptly go away lol 😅
I think that because of the relation, the wolf may feel more comfortable around him because he smells SIMILAR to you. Like he can tell that Kai is your pup!
Also, theory here, since Kai met the other wolf before puberty(deep voice, hair, larger stature, all caused by heightening testosterone) that may also contribute to why the wolf was more comfortable around Kai.
So even though Kai is not an adult man yet, he is still experiencing puberty and is no longer a little boy. Which is why I think that the reason they were even okay with him being around is because he is related to you, Kai’s mother.
actually they don't really care about the smell it true her mother being there is telling that he could trust this person but the first interaction is the most important part
I’ve had many animals scared of men, cats, dogs, rodents. When I look at the shelter around 25%ish have a “fear of men” but I haven’t come across any with the fear or women yet. I know it happens, but it’s sad it’s more common to be scared of men.

All my dogs loved my son as a child but it changed when he hit puberty. The difference in pheromones and voice changes definitely was the cause.

@@manymomath5466I'm in stem, although i dont know much about animals, but I believe it was because the first dogs we domesticated weren't domesticated for pets, but they were rather domesticated to help men in hunting,gathering and protecting the camp and such. Moreover these dogs would follow humans even if they weren't fed by the humans, then they would feed over leftover scraps and such of hunt made by humans-- men again. So its only natural they're more accustomed and friendly towards men.
Wolves on other hand are friendly towards women because of their voice. Think about it, lions, bears, tigers etc all big dangerous animals have deep and thicker voices, and so are men's, so wolves naturally view men as competition/predators and such.

This male aversion might be heightened in wolves compared to dogs because of their seasonal reproductive cycle.
Yes as said in video. Male wolves worse in winter but in summer, their testes shrink and all hormones leave the body
Dogs have evolved for thousands of years to live among humans...this meant having to successfully live among men as much as women.....wolves have not had that....
Or because of their close proximity to and upbringing by a misandric feminist witch.
@@TmHudsonArt You are right.
Also, dog domestication and wolf persecution has influenced wolf evolution too.

Very interesting! In the 1980s I had a female wolf and a male wolf-hybrid. My wolf was extremely wary of men, especially strangers. She would run and keep a distance from them. She also never allowed my father, who lived with me, to ever approach her. This made him really sad.
When she had pups, she even bit him on the leg a couple of times in the first weeks anytime he was in the yard. Not a dangerous bite, just a "warning bite".
I always wondered if it was due to her being a rather small wolf (63 lbs) that she felt frightened of large male creatures.
I must add too, that she was also terrified of male dogs that were much larger than her. She accepted male dogs of approx. her size or smaller though and wanted to befriend them.

It's interesting to wonder whether the preference for female humans amongst most animal species had an effect on why most dieties in human religion responsibile for the forest and the beasts that dwell within happen to usually be goddesses, not gods. Even the idea of "Mother nature," seems to admit to this.
yes, it’s the yin energy which is present more strongly in females.
Not at all. Mother Nature is about fertility and nurturing to create and sustain human life, specifically about farming rather than the wilderness (which no one cared about the growth of back then). As it's farming that a lot of premodern cultures are based on. Famine and failed crops is the antithesis, as everyone dies. So the earth's fertility and the rains are the most important things set above all else. The earth is a womb. It's all associations with humans.

IIRC Homer even called her "the mistress of animals".

Women are more nurturing.
As a foster in rescue and someone who has fostered several feral dogs, I was taught that ferals are often fearful of teenagers because of the way they carry themselves, often upright and energetic, though, of course, not true of all. So good on Kai for being mindful of his posture and not making direct eye contact. Thank you for this educational video!
And just to be clear, we only take ferals off the street if their pack is not thriving, they are in danger, injured, or lost the rest of their pack and are left alone.
Darladawn hate to break it to j but animals don’t need ur protection. They need ur respect ..
@@danielfatone3994 they need both. clearly, you don't volunteer in rescue and see animals euthanized day in and day out, or being starved chained up in someone's backyard.

true, i wanna adopt a wolf dog lol
@@peachy_talismanI wouldn’t necessarily reccomend it but I would say do ALOT of research. Theyre hybrid meaning their temperament is not necessarily as good as a domesticated dog .. they are fierce and restless and will harm other pets and people without hesitation to protect you 😊 I would recommend watching Cesar Milan I believe he made episodes on people who own wolf dogs and the challenges they face. I know a person who has wolf dog and they do a lot to take care of him… he’s extra sweet and docile with women/children he’s familiar with but men he’s very mischievous and trickster 😂 has way more energy than the average dog and his raw meat diet is required so it’s alot pricier to upkeep him plus his grooming since has a very thick fur similar to a husky but probably tougher. Their wild traits will come up here and there but you have to be a pro in handling them and know what they require. If you don’t have the time nor the money please don’t do it it’ll only cause the animal to suffer by not having his needs met.
I hope you know that ANY animal has natural needs like for example 5h of daily walking. Please don't 'adopt' a wolf, if you don't own a pasture
@@fabibi_haA pasture isn’t good enough. I had a wolf dog (80% wolf, they call that a ‘hybrid’) when I lived in the US, but I lived in the forest and I let him roam free, be who he was as much as I could. He was my soulmate.
It’s not just wolves but every animal loves women and feel safe with them❤
Not true you sexist.
they fear the bigger structure of a man and the strong scent of testosterone which makes the wolf think he may be more dominant and with women it doesn't get that scent of testosterone so they view them as inferior like other pack members and there are multiple other than this that shows dogs/wolves once a man tames it the dog submits to him and respect him more than woman

@@casbienbarr Oh yeah the whole "Alpha" hierarchy thing is a myth. Still a lot of good educational content in the video!
How is it wholesome to learn that even animals will always hate you just because you were unlucky enough to be born male?
I think it's the same for cats, too. I started feeding the feral cats in my area after their previous humans were gone. I didn't intend to tame them. I just wanted to make sure that everyone got food and no one had to fight with anyone else to do so. But very quickly the cats became tame. My neighbor, also female, joined in. Now all the previously feral cats are named and come running when I go outside and come when the neighbor calls. They want food, but also beg for pets with or without food.
But a young man moved in with my neighbor along with his young wife. The cats have accepted the young wife, but not the man. He tries to become feiends with them. But only the tamest of them will come close to him.
The young man doesn't seem all that masculine to me. But when I asked him to help his wife and I move a heavy box he picked it up as though it was empty. And when I asked him to carry a bag of dog food that I am no longer able to lift myself he picked it up like it was marshmallows instead of dog food. This without looking particularly strong at all.
There is more to being biologically male than meats the eye. And animals are able to pick up on this, whether the man lifts anything at all.
And they sense biologically female without my trying to tame anyone.
Whether it's pheromones or something else the animals know.
Cats love me. Maybe I’m missing pheromones.
Im male and female cats tend to prefer being friendlier to me than male cats, kinda weird but it makes sense.
@@powerandpresence5290 I think it's more likely that you have pheromones that put them at ease than that you're missing what would turn them off. Pheromone vile half full kind of thing. 😊

It does take a while, but you can get animals to like you. Took over a year for a relatives Pug to not run away at first sight of me 😅
They know. They just know how men are and how disconnected they are.
I have a rescue dog who is very fearful. It took her about three days to start trusting me. It took her three months to start trusting my husband. Even to this day she is likely to come hide next to me if he does something that make noise. I hadn't really noticed before we had her, but the way my husband moves through the house is drastically different from me. He makes noise when he walks, he takes up more space with his movements, he picks up and puts things down with more force than I do. Add to that the smell and voice and it is easy to see why most animals have an easier time approaching women.
I mean, I’m not a dog lol but as someone who grew up in a somewhat unstable household, I was hyper aware of these differences as a kid. Always listening in and assessing if the situation was ok for me to make any noise or move around freely, it was exhausting. If it’s something you didn’t notice that’s great, means there was no reason for you to be on guard
Wolves are such awesome animals and I've always been fascinated with them. Over a year ago, my dad told me about this story of a Chinese lady who managed to find and rescue the only wolf pup that survived because his parents were killed by hunters. She raised him with this other guy (I'm not too sure if they are a couple) and they planned to train him in and return him to where the wolf was born (of course, she also had to go out into the wild with him to find him a pack!). The entire journey of them doing so was quite arduous, dangerous but also very touching. When the lady was sick, the wolf knew and gave her a pika through the window, and when the lady and the guy were trying to take him back into the wild to look for a pack, they became reliant on him to hunt for food! Despite the lady stealing the pika from the wolf's hiding spot, the wolf still hid his food at the same hiding spot knowing that they were the ones stealing the food!
Later on, after the wolf was successfully returned to the wild, the lady would go there to visit every few years, for the first few times, the wolf would run up to her and lick her, but later on the the wolf was wary of her because some humans killed the wolf's pups.
This story is called return to the wolves and it's been written into two books (though in Chinese), and there is also a documentary (it's not as well made as a movie since it's pieced together with whatever recordings they managed to get). They are really worth checking out!
So, it's basically every wolf story ever. Lmfao.
Same with my dog, and he was raised with a man. He's very wary of other men besides him, but loves women.

I've seen this phenomenon with certain dogs as well
I think this can apply to other animals aswell. Our dog is scared of adult men, even my father who she has lived with for quite a while. Even when my father would play with my younger brother she would let my father know by barking if she thought they were not playing carefully, but if I'd do the same as an almost grown woman she would not say anything.
Anneka, you have given your wonderful son Kai an unforgetable experience in facilitating this meeting. Bravo & Congrats to you both !!! Peace.

A lot of dogs are like this with male strangers, especially when the dog is with their family. When I first met my wife and was brought home they had a Chow named Pepper. She warned me that Pepper would be overprotective and never get close to me. I told her she was wrong. (Her ex boyfriend had never been able to get close.)
It took me less than 5 minutes to make friends with Pepper, a bit longer to be fully accepted. Rule #1 was to make myself less of a threat. I was considerably larger than her Ex, but knew that height was a threat. So I sat on the floor. Then I let the dog come to me. I made it easier to get my scent by reaching out a bit. (Easier for the dog to back off out of reach.) Then I gradually puled my hand closer to me. One I was able to give a snack and scratch behind ears, I was a friend for life. The funny thing was I was soon almost more accepted than my Ex and her family.
I am not a big fan of pets, but for some reason they like me.
A female friend of mine got a male wolfdog at about 7-8 weeks old, and he grew up in pretty much a college house: 6 guys and only 1 girl. We were like his modern day pack, if anyone would try to wrestle or physically push one of us, joke or not, he would growl and get protective of us…
The amount of trust and the bond we had felt different than any regular dog, i miss that 🐺
i want a wolf dog in my friend group 🥲
that is called resource guarding... sure it seems cool having a dog be protective of their owners but it can be a bad habit for a dog to have if you cannot control it and command the dog to settle down, cuz u dont want a kid to get bit by the dog when playing around near the dog.
I’m a 6’1 male who has never had a problem introducing myself to dogs and dingoes just by squatting down and doing everything slowly.
I wonder if scientists arguing about dingoes being wolves or dogs shouldn’t be introducing themselves to both to note differences?
yeah this video is bullshit...
Same, I'm a 6'2 male and I've never had problems introducing myself to any animal really. Animals seem to trust me for some strange reason. Like, a wild rabbit let me get within two feet of it the other day. Once, I was peeing outside, as you do where I'm from, and while in the act a momma deer and her fawn appear out of nowhere and walk by me nonchalantly, no more than five feet away. Startled me way more than it did them. I'll say this and immediately get attacked by something, lol.
I didn't think there was much argument about what dingoes are - they're a form of wild dog but more closely related to canis domesticus than canis lupus. Based on behaviour, they're on a spectrum and sit somewhere in between the more wolf-like dogs and actual wolves.
Flat faced dogs are at the opposite end of the spectrum to wolves - they are the best at reading human emotions, dingoes aren't all that great at doing it.
@@spracketskooch That sounds exciting.
I've only ever been good with canines - most animals see me as they would any other strange animal and I'm not especially great with introducing myself to other people either.
It is the same with African wildlife. That's why Damien Mander uses an all women team to prevent poaching. The animals hear men's voices and become agitated. Women's voices they become calm.
Another reason is because canines have slower perception than humans. There's a video on RUclips about how things look and sound to different species. For example, when you throw a ball, to humans it looks like it's speeding through the sky so quickly, but to canines it's going slow. This is how they're able to catch it with speed and accuracy. It's moving slowly according to their perception.
The way they hear our voices is different as well. Higher voices sound pleasant to them. But deeper voices sound like "demonic" voices (what we would consider demonic). There's an entire section of research dedicated to this. It's quite interesting. The video explained the difference in perception with many different species. From dogs, to insects, ducks, etc.
I think if you search "what the world looks like to dogs" you'll find it.
This is so interesting to learn because the one wolf I met was partial to men, I guess it probably had to do with who raised him
I was instantly fascinated by her sons name, Kai. This woman has made her lifes' work about wolves and I am a dog trainer. I have trained my dogs to only release from a stay position using the word "kai". How interesting when things link up like that.

Should be the other way around. I'm apprehensive about every woman I meet because of modern day Barbie bimbo. I mean the amount of baby killing is pretty gross. I know it's off topic but since you are trying to feel like women are these gentle sweet creatures that's why animals aren't afraid of them and men are just bad right off the bat basically. Alot of women actually sexualy abuse their dogs and let them go to pound town on them.

But when I took her for walks outside, if a male was around- she would bark and growl and lunge like crazy! If a woman came around, she wouldn’t do anything. She would even bark at my brother when she left me, and had to go back with him….
I also lived with a dog for a short period of time, who wouldn’t really listen to his male owner, but he would always listen to me and my mom. I guess It’s safe to say…

Lab mice don't react the same way to male as to female technicians. The male technicians stress them out more, even when the treatment is the same.
Reminds me of when I met a male dog, I don’t remember what breed but he was a big as a German Shepherd, who had been tortured by his previous male owner. For obvious reasons he didn’t trust men or even teenagers at all but was very affectionate towards his new mama. I didn’t need to be told that this poor dog had been traumatized because I could tell from how he looked like me.
So in response I relaxed, stood perfectly still and didn’t speak. I did however look at him and did my best to show that he had no reason to be afraid. No more than 20 seconds later he approached me and asked for pets. Not sure if it’s similar to this case but his mama did tell me that I was the first male he was comfortable to be around and she had him in her care for years.
Either way the basic message is the same. Don’t do anything to scare dogs or wolves and Earning their trust takes time and patience.
Great Mom & remarkable Conservationist.

Me and my best friend have male dogs and we see that they are more trusting with woman than men. Both are adopted and probably were treated poorly before( and probably by men) , so this is also true for dogs sometimes
No you dummy, didn't you watch the video! male canines usually avoid male humans because they can sense testosterone. Just because you were treated poorly by men doesn't mean men treat others poorly! it's just you!

@@theAntiCauliflower Dogs are also known to be friendlier with older women than younger women, but really I think those dogs have been treated poorly (probably by younger women).
Like seriously, would you be more comfortable in a room with a male or female gorilla? Both genders are shy and reserved, and only act out of self-defense. The male is objectively larger, it's gait is wider/longer, it has larger teeth, more pronounced musculature, is standing/sitting on all 4s, and the female is fluffier, rounder, and has relaxed sitting posture.
Cheetahs are apparently the opposite, I think we should assume that cheetahs are getting abused by women. /s
Pretty sure the video explained it well in the start; its just that men are larger and have deeper voices, so that comes off as more of a threat. Wolves being more fearful of the males of our species makes sense, as it often is with most mammals
Also the testosterone
It's also the testosterone they can smell
This is the first I’ve heard of this I volunteered at a wolf reserve regularly before Covid. The wolves actually love the beards on men heck when I’m with them it’s the first thing they go for. However females do tend to respond a lot better to me than the males. One female made me a pack member lol 😆
That’s so cool. I would be extremely proud of this honour.
Yea she rubbed her fur all over me and wouldn’t let any other wolves near me. I smelled just like a wet dog afterwards lol. But it was rewarding. 4 years later she knew exactly who I was still loving on me the same. it’s like a lifetime imprint
Similar experience here. I think it's hard to generalise. The temperament of each wolf and each pack is different.
Females prefer man and males woman
@@FriendlyGhost-rf7tq Generally speaking, however I think it has more to do with how you treat them. No animal wants to be yelled at or treated harshly and given commands with no rewards.
02:30 Correct me if I'm wrong, because I am quite honestly not a wolf expert, and would want to be corrected if I'm wrong. But I think I read or heard somewhere that wolves, when they are born, already kind of know things about life as a wolf, something about the parent's experiences or knowledge being transferred to the offspring somehow during the pregnancy. Assuming I'm not completely wrong, and that this is true at least to a certain extent, then wouldn't it also be possible that wolves are normally more afraid of human males because, statistically speaking, I'd imagine that there are far more human male hunters that wolves would have encountered and understood are dangerous, and would then have given that knowledge to their offspring and other wolves?

I'm a 6' deep voiced female, but obviously give off the right smells & signals. Cool.
This certainly explains my observations.
your voice isnt "deep" probably raspy
Oh thank god. I'm 5'10 with a somewhat huskier/ deeper voice than is the median for women and this reassures me 🤣 My pack of 5 GSD's were extra gently and friendly with women and young children, but completely indifferent towards men. I was their main person growing up but then they died and I've yet to meet a big working dog I feel like I have that level of comfort with. I was the only one they tolerated to brush their teeth, and it didn't matter if the entire family was somewhere else, they'd just follow me around no matter where I wandered on our farm. I have zero experience with wolves but with dogs I've noticed they tend to have preferences based on who raised them. There's a very sweet little poodle mix who loves both my partner and I but will always rush to my partner first to say hello. Conversely, someone I know who has a fearsome Chow Chow who just dislikes men. Another friend has a mutt who definitely prefers men and is indifferent to women. It's all very strange. Honestly at this point, I've met Golden Retrievers that I'm wary of, and big stray mutts that are sweet as babies.
Oh, I'm sure there is a good reason why... yup... I real obvious one...
before even watching the vid, here's my prediction based on my experiences with animals:
men are taller, more muscular, smell more like testosterone (dogs noses are many times more sensitive, hence why we have drug and bomb sniffing dogs), men have more blocky movements because of the more muscles (as in, not as refined or smooth and flowy like females), lower tone voices (that sound like intimidating or weird growling since they lower their voice to growl) thus they look at men like they are either another male wolf (competition for females) or an animal that's about to attack since they smell of testosterone so they are immediately in the fight or flight mode
females they treat like another female wolf and act affectionate towards them since they are the opposite of the above
The animals gotta learn their place or they end up as pelts. That's how it's supposed to work.
This may be a trend or statistically accurate. But I had a neighbor with a full bred wolf pet. I used to feed it and her dog when she had to be gone too long. That wolf always liked me from the beginning. I believe before I ever fed it. I will say this, that my current dog, a min pin/chihuahua mix definitely loves women more than men. He is friendly with men but turns on the charm when he encounters women. Cracks me up.
Wow, that’s really amazing that your neighbor had a pet wolf and you got to take care of it sometimes. What a lovely memory that must be! Your sweet little dog has me laughing, that he turns on the charm when meeting women- that’s too funny!
We had a collie when I was a child. She didn’t like strange men either, yet strange women were fine!

I guess this is probably part of what goes into making a good guard dog, genetically speaking. A tendency on the part of wolves to distrust unknown big, loud and aggressive people and even caution specifically about men is probably useful, if you want a dog to protect vulnerable and known people from aggressive strangers. Of course, if you're too nonthreatening to an animals with predatory instincts, it might get aggressive with you or try to push you around, so it would be interesting to talk about how the lines get drawn here - how wolves and dogs think about power relationships.
Animals usually think the bigger the scarier but as you said the movements and voice has also a part. But most importantly hormones . Predatory animals can smell testosterone which makes males aggressive and potentially a big threat. So animals usually avoid bigger males with high T levels. And conversely they can smell the stress hormone of a preys which is released when they are under fear. So if they smell fear they are likely to attack
