Nah. They're just confused by humans.......wondering whether to eat them or not. Research the omega of the pack....the rest of the pack attacks that member. They're just wild animals that kill for a living.

[@Litfilmz]

@@BrettMcNary they definitely do kill for a living for sure they literally have to😂 but an omega is a lone wolf that either just never had a pack to begin with or was banished from its pack by an alpha often times if surviving, being left with injuries from trying to stay with the pack once they turned on them. Yea ik wolves are viscous and they are also super skittish which is why I was so shocked to see them just laying down like that but in reality these wolves are probably just used to human interaction to an extant.

If wolves were inherently hostile to humans we would never have domesticated dogs.

[@timenavigator9643]

The Conversationalist I agree

[@Mister-Thirteen]

It suggested that wolves started to follow humans because we left scrapes behind from our hunts and meals, things we couldn't eat or couldn't preserve in early human history. In a lot of ways this makes sense given humans and wolves are both family oriented pro-social omnivores but with complementary skill sets. That just like cats and a number of other species proximity eventually lead to cooperation, which eventually leads to domestication and speciation. And then we breed pugs........................

[@malligrub]

We never domesticated this species, the ancestor to the dog has been traced back to a now extinct canine that was not the grey wolf

[@Mister-Thirteen]

@@malligrub Well....Duh. I feel like using the connotative "wolves" was more then enough, rather then trying to single out a singular species.

[@mizukilla]

@@flaccidego9468It's not a composite shot. I saw them talking in a live talk that the wolf and the bear are around 100m apart, both sleeping, so the cameraman find a coordinate line and film them, and then the wolf wake up earlier and start to howl. She called her pack. This polar bear is different with the polar bear at the beginning of the video ( where he was take on by the wolf ). The polar bear was take on by the wolfs is a much younger and smaller polar bear.
