@@kiramortwilson7411 I'm pretty sure some are. There are early human bones with leapord and crocodile teeth mark suggesting we used to be prey
They started feeding them meat I imagine. They're pack animals so if you're supplying them food they would love having you about hahaha. Then they began breeding them together. Then I imagine they used them for protection of their caves and took them out with them when they were hunting and gathering.
Honestly it's pretty fucking badass. Having and breeding wolves 10,000 years ago and running about with them would have been intimidating as fuck for predators and competitors too. What a boss.
@The Amos Tree a pretty good theory is that it was something progressive and natural, the groups of nomadic humans probably left some rests of food along the way, that were pretty much free food, wolves would learn to follow the groups bc of the free food and humans would not kill them bc they served as an alarm, the wolves are familiar with that specific group of humans but not with others, in time the new generations of wolves lived all their lives watching and i suppose in some cases directly interacting with humans, eventually making them domesticated, not trained, big difference, a trained wild animal it's just that but a domesticated one has been conditioned across generations, in this case unintentionally, by having the more passive or friendly ones close across generations and killing those that were agresive to humans, thus having new now friendly wolves

I’m not sure where you live but in Saskatchewan people get attacked and killed by wolves (the largest timber wolves in the world btw). It is rare but it happens.
Some news stories from the last decade or so:
“26-year-old worker is recovering in a Saskatoon hospital after getting mauled by a lone wolf near the mine on early Monday. He was rescued by a security guard who interrupted the assault,”
Next
“On Dec. 31, 2004, Cameco miner Fred Desjarlais was jumped by a wolf outside the Key Lake mine. Desjarlais wrestled the wolf to submission before being rescued by a busload of co-workers.”
“And then ten months later, Ontario geology student Kenton Carnegie was killed by wolves at Points North Landing, a mining supply camp in the same area as Key Lake.
The young man had gone for a walk and didn't return.”
I have encountered wolves on the drilling rigs in northern Alberta and B.C. as well as Saskatchewan and I can tell you, each time I saw them they didn’t seem friendly. They circled the camp trailers and the rig lease quite frequently and their body language was enough to give us all pause. The cooks wouldn’t take the garbage out without an escort of roughnecks.
Anecdotally, a pack of wolves surrounded and attacked my friend and his young son who were hunting moose in the northern forests. He had to shoot two with his emergency sidearm to save their own lives. It’s not the wolves fault, they are fulfilling their role in nature, but they are certainly dangerous.
“Of Wolves and Men” by Barry Lopez is a good read.

Narifamen not really to be fear like that humans are stronger then a wolf but also wolves don’t really attack humans either so he really was not in much danger.
lee jones If a lone adult wolf catches you by surprise, you have a pretty high chance of dying, stronger than it or not. Also, there was a whole pack there. You are right though that they very rarely attack, let alone kill, anyone.

@@garylin6641 That's cool.
That is so strange; how the wolf reacts to the man kneeling down, the wolf walks right up. This is fascinating behavior; he is inclined to stay away, visibly hesitating when the man approaches, but immediately feels inclined to approach when the man kneels. Amazing.
You ready for Monday?
EnricoZulu Ye feeble fleshlings shall gaze upon my might and quake in terror at what your primitive minds have yet to comprehend. My awesome structure shall overwhelm that lumpen construct you dare call spacecraft, "Juno".
yeah. cause his threat is diminished when he lays down in a passive position. it isn't a poise to attack. so it is like a welcoming offer or sorts. that's why he flinched every time the guy moved because the position could change at any moment and the wolf would be vulnerable (by being too close) - you see this behavior in many mammals. if you lay down and stay still, they come to see what's up.
Terri With most predators, they would go for prey that's easier for them to kill, as it's not ideal to exert more energy than what you'll get form a meal under their circumstances. Of course, it's a little different if you hunt in groups.
Kneeling is part of a sign of respect in the wild.
"I havn't washed in weeks"
Wolf : Yes I noticed.
“So uh.. we gave dogs a hard time for giving into being a human servant. But then we saw they get consistent food, treats, toys, and belly rubs. Is that offer still open or are we a couple thousand years too late?”

Servants do work. Dogs aren't cattle.
That's probably more accurate than you would ever want it to be. Evolution used to favor fear of humans, and the safest places for wild animals to be were way out in the untouched regions. Now, humanity is conscious of the environment, but still no better at looking after it, there are no untouched regions left, and the safest places for wild animals to be are the outskirts.
Consequently, evolution now favors indifference to humans in herbivores, and curiosity of humans in carnivores. The wolves way out in the middle of nowhere are dying from disease or starving from lack of resources, the wolves that can ignore humans get rounded up once they start picking off farm animals and/or family pets, and the one that cautiously approaches the humans and lets them pet him becomes a local celebrity and RUclips star.

Quality comment
Like he said I think wolves are just as curious about us as we are curious about them. I think that's how they became man's best friend they have grown to have a mutual respect for us as we them
They just followed us 10,000 years eating the scraps of our kills
It's interesting to see how our wolves have come to fear us over the years, while these wolves who barely had any contact are just curious. Really shows what we did to this animal and our bond with it.
Yes, but it is not good for wild animals - especially predators - to not fear us. That is how they get killed.
If they don't fear us they venture close to human settlements, like walking into a suburb. They can be just curious, but humans get causious and scared. So the animals get shot, for being to close. 😔
"Lion may be the king of jungle but wolf never performs in circus"...

@@jumpvelocity3953 That is true, but still yet wolves are not mindless creatures that kill for sport. Connections with wild animals can happen, between both the human and animal. So it's not all fantasy. You just need to know how to act in these situations or the wolf will attack you. I swear schools need to have some kind of class so people can learn about basic animal behavior. So many people get hurt because they didn't know what to do or they were being stupid.
@@laylonlee229 what I was calling fantasy was the idea that wolves behave the same as humans with the same societal structure, same technologies, it’s basically personification you would see in children’s books.

@JumpVelocity well no shit Sherlock
Their reputation as blood thirsty beasts is about as overblown as one can be. They are intelligent, cautious, alert and aloof. They deserve amour respect far more than they deserve our fear!
They deserve both.
they are litteraly just little bigger dogs nothing more nothing less. anyone who has seen a actual real wild big dog knows that they behave like wolfs. the reason domesticated dogs and wild dogs in cities don't behave like wolfs is because it's a different environment that favours different personalities. but yeah a actual real wild dog that does all it's own hunting is just a little smaller wolf
"You are still a wolf"
There is something just fascinating with wolves.
First time I've seen one was at a zoo.
2 meters away, sitting against the fence.
I thought "well, just looks like a cool dog".
Then it started walking along the fence.
I was instantly stunned.
I could not explain what it was.
The way it walked, the way it moved.
Just in a few seconds it showed me what being wild and majestic really was.
They are not just wild dogs, you need to see them in person to understand.
I had the pleasure of seeing them howl together at the zoo. And yes, they are not just like dogs; they're stature is different, they're taller than the typical dog, faster, stronger, and have larger teeth and jaws, almost like a german shepard on steriods. When they run I think they have longer strides and generally move faster than dogs with a slower leg movements facilitated by the longer strides.
I know what you mean though, seeing a wolf up close gives you a good sense of how different they are from dogs.

never run away from a dog you think is going to attack, that's the best way to end up getting attacked. Treat it like a bear, back away slow, make lots of noise, don't turn your back, hold your arms out and chest up to make your self look bigger
Pitbulls are worse than wolves. Wolves naturally fear humans and keep their distance. Some of tthem become curious and come closer but they almost never attack humans. A pitbull is more dangerous than a wolf and can attack us with intent to kill.
They seem to like the first human they've ever met. "what is this creature? oh it's nice!"
Hopefully no one makes this a tourist attraction. It's already in the middle of nowhere, far away from human civilisation.

the being with no icon ... It’s about the wolf, dude..
I think the narrator got it right. They are curious, and want to get closer.. but they are just as worried about the other becoming aggressive as the narrator is.. so it's very careful and while staying very alert..
It *is* indeed not all that hard to see how wolves turned into "man's best friend"..
They are also very friendly with corvids (crows, ravens, etc.) so being tolerant of "non wolves" in and around their packs seems to be a wolf thing.. they feel pretty comfortable being friendly cross species..
I think another thing worthy of consideration is that while the science is inconclusive on the subject. It seems that predators generally don't predate on other predators unless there is pressure to do so.. A lack of herbivores or too much competition in the area. Still, you've got to love that they are as interested in us as we are in them.
@@M3rVsT4H that's because another predator would be a LOT of work to bring down, so not ideal.

@@laylonlee229 yes but for some of us it’s an extremely questionable pose because it’s not what any human should be doing with any wild animal.

They also shouldn’t be risking their own lives by doing this. When we risk our own lives like this, we risk their lives too.

"You are still a wolf." Great quote. Be careful who you trust. We all have a little wolf in us.
They are beautiful ... but wild. The problem with letting them get close to you is that if the pack attacks you, you have to tranquilize them or kill them which is very unfair to them. Hence, no contact is probably the best strategy despite our natural and their natural curiosity.
There's probably a bunch of them aiming at the wolves already, so the wolves didn't attack :v
its very very rare
I'm pretty sure the cameraman was well aware of that. Might have done this shortly after the wolves ate.

Amazing, this is like the first step humans made in past to domesticate this type of animals. Is like canine and humans were created for the need of each other.
No just no
Javier Negron Lopez this is basically what people did a long time ago when dogs were domesticated from wolves.
+TheDragonCourier
They may have been trained as herders of prey.
A wolf can just as easily scare away prey as well as accidentally get hit by whatever sharp shit hunter-gatherers used to chuck at things they wanted to stop moving.
But having herders is extremely useful and makes ambush hunting much easier.
Ironically, there have been instances of monkeys using dogs as pets...

@@lk3023 really what did the neanderthals do?
@@lk3023 Yeah, they didn't do that. Most likely it was a case of the humans threw scraps of food outside camp, wolves eat food and fuck off...

I will sleep after watching this . I hope i dream of being so close to these beautiful creatures .
Learn how to spell, you pathetic slob.
"You're still a wolf."
And you're still a man. That's more dangerous than a wolf.
Wolf smelling his socks : Now that's what dead putrid meat smells like.
Human - 'You are just a wolf."
Wolf - "and your just a human JERRY"
Well there still is not even one documented case of a wolf killing a human being. I was able to make this statement at 12 and still can at 58.
paxwallacejazz Yeah, there was a story on the news a while back refuting this (with a "first" attack) but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.. Healthy wolves that don't feel threatened don't attack humans.. wish we could say the reverse..
Yes there are lots of documented cases of wolves killing humans. They're not as dangerous as some other animals though. Tigers, sharks, crocodiles, polar bears are miles worse
nick supreme yeah, there is a very dangerous animal on this clip, responsible for not only needless death and suffering of other animals, and their own kind, but even extinction of entire species. Oh! and there is a wolf too..
Actually wolves are coming back to Germany - mainly from Eastern Europe. And as they are under conservation most of them don´t fear men. Sometimes they walk through villages or residential areas and the authorities are beginning to worry bout that. But there wasn´t a single case that they attacked a human being.
paxwallacejazz ....you javent been in Russia then...
I like to think scruffy still remembers his human friend even tho he may never see him or any other human again. He’d be in his prime by now and possibly leading his own pack.
Or he is dead by now
They are gorgeous
"I just need to build some trust."
*Proceeds to lay in sassy pose*
Lol when a Wolf smelled his foot, he was like "your a true Wolf "
Zombie Taco he was talking about the wolf testing him to try to with out much effort get behind him .
You're
An beautiful animal. How lucky is this guy to experience them up close.
They know they can eat him yet wait in the hope to be given food. That’s complex thought and reason
@Bold true; they're selective since prey tends to have horns, hooves and weighs a lot more.
"I want to see if I can build a whole new level of trust."
*lays down and does a sexy pose*
wolves:
me: *sweet home alabama*
Wait.. Alabama does family!
I'm not shure wich sate does animals.
Ya know alabama probably does that too.
@@supercomputer0448 maybe Florida?
Washington state
the wolf is like take shoe and run from weird white guy
I like how ninja randomly threw race into this lmao
Open shoe and see if is tasty inside.
He does have a point. No other race does this. Even the Native Americans give nature their proper distance unless they're hunting animals for food or clothing. Though I'm sure if you search long enough you can find a rare exception. But most of the time, that's who goes out and does these things.
@@LoganCharlesII the celts and picts were literally Earth worshippers.
@denzelsnipes69 You're confusing culture and race.
beautiful dangerous close to wolves. love Elise
NEVER stop fearing Scruffy. That’s when you will get attacked.
Just remember, you are just as capable of fucking up that Wolf way more than it is you. One knife can do massive damage.
Wolves sense fear and it activates predator responses in them. The safest thing to be around a wolf pack is confident and in control of your emotions. Then you sit down and give them the biggest, toothiest smile you can as a greeting, the friendly ones will come up and click teeth with you, it’s like a handshake.
But the first time it happens you legit think the wolf is gonna eat your face, so that’s fun. Of course that’s only in wolves that are used to seeing humans around and not being shot by them.
Show fear, and you're done.
If I got to pet scruffy before I died then I was satisfied with my life.
@bobwatters I think you should just have some common sense. Realize that they are wild animals and aren't driven by rationality. They aren't dogs and aren't accustomed to be with humans, and could strike at any second even if they appear cute and friendly. Be prepared to defend yourself.
Wolves are so majestic and beautiful ☺️
Other Wolves: let's eat him! He's already laying down, maybe he's ill.
Alpha wolf: no guys, this must be a trap!
Wolves are not the bloodthristy beast they're portrayed. But they are wild. Wild animals get hungry. Hunger can drive them to become not themselves. Always respect that.
I am so jealous of this guy. I adore wolves.
Ага, сзади попытался зайти 😅 Излюбленный приём волка! Человек моментально развернулся! Уверенно и без страха - знает как поступать в таких ситуациях!!! 👍
Lizard brain: Wolf. Wolf. Wolf.
Ape head: PUPPY!!!!!!
Like yeah id be scared but you can totally see how we tamed these loving curious creatures into being our devoted lifelong companions. Thank God for our ability to connect with animals ❤️🙏
0:58 "Paint me like one of your French girls"
GachaGirl ASMR this comment deserves more likes 😂
this video should be shown to a lot of people who think of wolves only as human predators.
ZecharusTV they re 😂 if starved
“My wolves 🐺 “
and named them.
That’s when you know you’re on the verge of being eaten.
BBC is just at another level when doing these things. No comparison really.
They are so cuuuuuute I just want to hug them❤❤🤗🐺
And Sarah Palin shoots these animals from helicopters. What miserable garbage people can be. Watching this makes me think back to Jack London's book "White Fang".
...yeah you're letting empathy obscure your judgment.
That book marked my life
TheUnholyPosole sarah palin is garbage though
shpongloidia I love that book
shpongloidia Erin Hunter has this Survivors book about dogs surviving an earthquake you should read it
Very cool. His mannerism, body language and curiosity is exactly like my malemutes and shepherds. Crazy! Thousands of years of domestication and my dogs are just a breath away from being wolves.
...una prova di coraggio incredibile !!
Man: “Oh, you’re approaching me?”
Wolf: “I can’t trust the shit outta you without getting closer.”
He is feeding them.its a matter of time
Wolf just wanted to check if that cheese smell was coming from his foot.
Absolutely magnificent creatures! 💗
Such Beauty Is The Wolf.
