These wolves seem more friendly then any of the other sanctuary footage I have ever seen. I wonder if they were all raised from cubs.

[@magpie9485]

they were, and they see so many ppl, even when they were pups so they are use to big crowds. (oh and canine babys are called 'pups', feline babys are called 'cubs' c: ) (:

[@magpie9485]

+DOTO is Life haha no problem 😁

[@musicgirlusamspP]

probably not

When I was young, we knew a man who had a dog that was a mix of wolf and German shepard. He was as gentle as any dog I've ever seen.

[@marosgecik9986]

Czechoslovakian wolfdog is carpatian wolf x german sepherd ❤ best dog ever ❤

[@phantasmarina]

My parent's neighbor used to have one! That was years ago though.

[@davlor86]

My uncles had a German Shepherd/Husky/Wolf mix

Are the gereman Shepherd wolfdog mix a nice dog?

it is, i can send you a pic of her if you want to

[@DaydreamingArtist322]

They're beautiful. How did they become so tame?

[@isabellk6126]

A wolf is never fully tame. But guess they lived there all their life.

[@wstnr6255]

They found the wolf as puppy's and the wolf got use to humans

[@jiwonh.1216]

no they were rescued from ignorant breeders who thought they would make good pets.

[@Skippy19812]

I expect they've been neutered. Just being raised by hand isn't enough to make them that mellow around people, especially strangers. They are cute though.

[@adelaidepotatotree5261]

Skippy19812 neutered is for males. spayed for females

[@harding0010]

Guess I will be visiting this place. My son loves wolfs.

[@starlightbarking9495]

You can see how happy and well cared for the wolves are!

[@heatherharrison8430]

AMAZING!!! i owned a wolf-hybrid and she was so sweet. She loved snuggles and taking her share of the bed. She was passionate about her food bowl, though! She gave her "growly teeth" if you tried to touch it, but it was all show. She was gentle with our roaming bunny. She loved to sit outside in the cold, in Florida, and HOWL. She was a love. She passed away from old age. I still carry my love for wolves with me every day. I can't wait to visit this place!

[@kesha.b9103]

I really want to be a volunteer for helping take care of animals and stuff when I grow old. Animals are the only creature who see everyone equally with unconditional love

[@niawhite5336]

@@thedoommarine9174 ,Humanity is so much worse,Your the one that's naive.

[@thedoommarine9174]

Nia White I didn’t say that humans aren’t worse, genius, only that the idea that animals “see everyone equally with unconditional love” is fucking stupid and wrong.

[@MichaelAnderson-xe1ci]

They do see everyone equally, but I do agree with you when it comes to the love. Animals are wild, and you have to never forget that. There is a reason why there are laws against having pet tigers and gorillas without permits and the right captivities.

[@oikawatooru5173]

I'd love to work in a wild life sanctuary

[@chunkymonky94]

I've been to Seacrest wolf preserve three times, and I loved it there each time! One of my top favorite places to visit.

[@mondaduncan8596]

Jon, What a great video! We are so excited that you came and did this for the preserve. My family and I have been volunteering almost every weekend there for 2 years. We just so happened to have other plans when you made your visit. You have made a difference in wolf and wildlife conservation. This video will educate people and let them know about the wolves.Thank you on behalf of Seacrest Wolf Preserve Inc. You have made a difference.

I was there while you were filming! So glad you're able to tell more of the world about this place. What an incredible experience. I couldn't agree more with your assessment of this place.

[@eg6gsr]

Wow I remember that place when Cynthia and Wayne first started doing this. We and my mother picked up a Husky mix from them and about a year later they started rescuing wolves and we took our boy Dakota(named after his father) out to visit and that was when I had my first encounter with a wolf, man that had to be over 15 years ago. There place looks awesome now

My dad and I recently came her for a private tour and we had a blast! I will definitely come back again in the future.

[@utkua]

If you get the wild out of a wolf, you get a dog, which takes thousands of years. Do not get a wolf, they are not pets, or they will end up a rescue like this, you cannot control them after a certain age.

[@mychem.speticmark7919]

if you think about it you never had control of a wolf yes they might listen but they will never be tame

[@rjaybruhh]

utkua *It is possible to get one... Humans have a bond with some wolves but not many... If you love wolves you would understand lol?*

[@wolfloverart4690]

utkua without wolves there would be NO dogs

[@radekfylcka9029]

Canis lupus familiaris - domestic dog has nothing to do with Gray wolves as we know them now. However there are some "dogs" which have their genes. Like Czechoslovakian wolfdog, Saarlos wolfdog or just wolfdogs known from USA. But gray wolves and domestic dogs have the same "ancestors". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_the_wolf#Canis_chihliensis (yes, it is legit)

[@thedoommarine9174]

utkua I’m sure you’re speaking from some sort of expertise here, yes?

[@wolfy_gamer9375]

I love wolves!!!!!! :3

[@TziporaArt]

I'd say zombie run. :D

[@doggowolf2768]

I loved this place! I wish I didn't have to move away. At least I got to see Chaco (the black wolf) when she was a pup. Cool to see her all grown up now.

[@yyangcn]

It's amazing to see the trust between these wolves and their caretakers (note: not owners, wolves can never be pets). I'd imagine it's next to impossible to build such trust in the wild, where wolves need to be on constant alert to stay alive and keep themselves fed. Here, the pack has ample supply of food provided by the caretakers, and has large enough area to freely roam on their own, and was probably raised in an environment with a lot of human interactions. This controlled environment is probably why such bond with humans can exist in the first place.

[@rozmonz]

Amazing video

[@faerefolke]

that's so cool. I want to go.

[@katedenson9000]

Rebecca Benway I've been there on a middle school field trip. It was awesome

Love these wolves, they are friendly happy, and healthy. They are enjoying their life under human protection.

[@andrewsargent8849]

I actually went there in October of 2013! I had a great time learning more and just being with the wolves there. The wolves may look take, but they are still wild. They've only gotten used to being around people. Even before the visit, wolves were my favorite animal. It got me wanting to volunteer to help these wonderful animals, and I hope someday I may get the chance.

+Maroš Gecik don't, actually. it's a terrible idea; they're not pets. This is why I hate these videos, because people see animals being affectionate and assume that's all to them. Why do you think there's so many wolf and wolfdog rescues in the first place? People like y'all.

[@Mikaaa666]

+akitaken These videos are not really to blame, these show that people are not all greedy motherfuckers and some care about the wild life that we (humans) destroy. It's way better than keeping them in cages. I mean, if someone thinks that wild animals should be pets - they're stupid and should be punched in their stupid faces. Well... that's at least my opinion (sorry if my English is bad).

[@howardpower]

Look like dogs to me. Don't know why some of you get so technical. Loosen up and enjoy what life offers. They seem tame and just super friendly. They may be wolves, but they seem so much like dogs in many ways.

[@jedimaster2cool]

That's crazy people play with wolves. I seen tiger's, lion's, but never wolves. I guess you can tame wild animals, but still it's good to. e careful with them. An animal trainer was recently killed at a zoo awhile ago.

[@jonathan]

+Jedi Master 2-Cool Yeah these ones were all pretty chilled. A lot of times, animals are attacked when they're in bad conditions like small cages or when they're not fed properly. Luckily these one don't have any of those problems. But yes, there is always at least SOME risk when interacting with any wild animal

[@jedimaster2cool]

Jon Watson That's why personally i don't try to play with wild animals, where i live there's this place where the trainers play with Lions, Cheetahs, Hyenas, Coyotes, Foxes, Mountain Lions, Wolfs, and even a Bear. But I personally don't feel comfortable around them. I don't mind those that are but me personally I don't associate with them lol.

[@SuperSkandale]

Tigers are even more primal than wolves. Tigers are the only species that can truly never be 100% tamed because they are so primitive and primal. Even when tamed from birth, there has been at least 1 case where the tiger turned on the human.

[@hectichive889]

My friend lives in the country and he has a pack of wolves as pets, sometimes when I'm at his house we get to feed them like, raw meat, and they have this little shack thing where the whole pack can sleep and huddle together and stuff, and they'll let humans in like we're family and will let us pet them and stuff! We get inside the little shack with them and we huddle together and pet each other and it's so cool! I could stay in there forever!

[@hectichive889]

You're surprised about wolves being tamed? They're a primitive cousin of the dog so they're easier to understand their nature and to tame since prehistoric mankind has even tamed prehistoric wolves already!

[@kayliegarlitz5818]

All of them are so adorable!

[@laelahdixon9291]

Jon you are amazing and I thank you because I pray for wolf's all around the world every night I wish I could come back in Florida someday because I was born there and moved to Conway I wanna say take good care of those animals Jon

[@mellowerry2597]

first of all this guy knows no facts what so ever about wolves first thingis there not dogs !!!! there very dangerous animals that could rip ur hand off

[@jonathan]

"They're" not "there" LOL :P

[@JenTMaxi]

They can, it's just that most people don't live directly in their territory. It's like sharks don't eat people, sure it's not a normal part of their diet because humans don't live in the sea. But we swim there or walk there. Eventually you will be prey to something because the earth doesn't just forgive you because you are human. Also vegetarian animals like deer, cows horses, rodent etc can eat meat too, they just aren't built for it so normally they don't. Try typing in cow eats a bird and I promise you will find a video showing a cow doing so. It's not normal is NOT the same as not natural.

[@t0x1cDr3am]

A dog can rip your hand off if it wanted to too

[@JenTMaxi]

They can but it depends on the dog. Also there are some little dogs that go for your ankle can cause damage too. :)

[@EOTA564]

Biologically, a wolf and a dog are more or less the same animal. Of course dogs have been domesticated over thousands of years but they are still very close to the shared ancestor of both wolves and dogs. Wolves are actually quite 'flighty' animals. There is a theory that low flight distance was the key evolutionary trait that led to some wolf ancestors to develop a relationship with humans. You wouldn't want a wolf in your home and they are far less predictable than dogs which have been bred to be biddable and subservient to humans. But remember that these are not wild wolves. Wild wolves would probably run at the first sight of humans. These wolves have clearly been introduced to humans from a very young age and are comfortable around us.
