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.

[@dendrien]

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.

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.

Another reason is because canines have slower perception than humans. There's a video on KZbin 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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

[@manymomath5466]

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.

[@00rasen]

​​@@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.

[@angelicakoutsouridakis5816]

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”.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Humans are the most dangerous (and irresponsible) animal on this planet.

[@dragonslayer101]

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.

[@Jessknowsbestt]

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.

[@puppydogs68]

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.

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.

​@@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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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!

Men typically lower the pitch of their voice and stand taller in response to fear, whereas women typically raise their pitch and shrink their posture in response to it (not because women are cowardly, but because their intrinsic strength difference from men due to lower body mass typically makes flight or freeze a more viable survival option than fight when faced with a large predator). I’d imagine the wolves are picking up on that fear (anyone faced with a wolf they aren’t familiar with will feel some degree of fear due to the unpredictability of the situation, even if that fear is completely subconscious), and reacting to the humans who respond to them with aggression cues as a threat.

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.

This might sound woo-woo but it's my story all the same. When I was a teenager there was a lovely wooded place near me that also had a small private zoo. I loved to go there whenever I got a chance and I would immediately slip back to the zoo area and just spend time back there talking & communing with the animals. There was a beautiful wolf there that I was particularly drawn to. At first, when I went he would sit at the back of his habitat and watch me intently as I talked and coo'd at him. After 6 or 7 visits he began coming to the front of his enclosure when he'd see me coming. Soon he would lean against the chain link pressing his fur into it. I was still being cautious but I kept getting the feeling he wanted me to touch him, pet him as best I could. But I would see the clear signs in the area that warned to keep fingers and hands away from the fencing. So after a week or so of his coming to the front, leaning and twitching his ears, like scratch here! I finally plucked up the courage one visit, looked down at my hands and determined what finger I was willing to risk, reached in and scratched his ear. He moaned and leaned hard against the fence. He did want me to pet him! I stayed for awhile giving him scritchies anywhere he pressed his body on the fence. And when I 'd stop and start to move away he'd chatter and coax me back for more. We became good friends over time and the other animals began wanting the same interaction with me. It was truly my magical place through all my teens and early 20's until I moved away so couldn't visit unless I happened to come that way to visit family and friends. And the animals didn't forget me, especially the wolf. That experience has been one of my favorite memories in this life. I have very strong connections to wolves. In dreams as well. Years ago I had a dream where a beautiful wolf came to me in a forest. I was sitting on the ground in a grove of trees. In that dream a big beautiful wolf approached me and crawled up on my lap, rolling over wanting belly rubs, then rolling back over to lick my face and neck. I was laughing and he was rubbing his head on my chest and then in an instant he bit me over my heart. I was a little surprised mostly because there was no pain just surprise. And as I went to ask him why, I heard him say, "you are kindred to us. I claim you as part of my pack and we will always watch over you and protect you. And with that I woke up. I have felt them around me ever since. And on one occasion may years later I went to a wolf sanctuary here where I now live. As I got out of the car, in their parking lot, the entire mountain began to howl. I was a beautiful sound and I howled back. The Native Elder that volunteered there came out of their gift shop and as I turned to walk toward him he said, "welcome sister, I knew someone special had arrived because they rarely ever greet anyone with such a resounding welcome! I was honored by them and his words. ✌️🌷😊🎇💯

[@chrispocream2262]

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.

[@carlborneke8641]

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.

At first. I took it personally and felt my ego was being insulted. But I think this is key. It's so important to be in alignment when you're around them because their interpretations about your current energy are SPOT ON.

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.

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.

[@resourcedragon]

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.

[@psychedashell]

@@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.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

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 KZbin 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.

[@PocketsandOutlaw]

I have a male ginger cat, Thomas. Thomas is a Hurricane Sandy survivor (Oct-2012.) A friend saw him starving in a swamp after the storm and allowed him a safe home under her front porch. (She already had 2 dogs and 9 cats.) About 2 years later, she retired and planned to move to Colorado. She asked me if I would take him. I did. He was FURIOUS with me for "kidnapping" him from his happy home! I kept him in a kitty condo for about 3 months, hoping he would calm down. When I first let him out, he was still furious, but he hid in the closet. Eventually, he came out. Befriending him was very difficult! I am convinced it was because of the male-male relationship! It was like human males who punch each other in the arms and challenge each other until they sort out who is boss! One day, I was sitting at my computer desk. He was sitting on a table/cat-bed next to me. I was testing petting him. And he was biting at me. (It was kind of a game.) He was facing away from me and turned and bit at my face! He bit me, over my right eye. I could tell from his response that (1) Yes he intended to bite me. (2) Yes, he intended it to hurt, (3) But, he was concerned that he injured me! (4) He was also concerned about my reaction. I am rather mellow and didn't react (harshly.) I was concerned that I might have gotten and injury or eye infection. Neither happened. He and I have been friends ever since. But I do have to show him respect. He likes to sleep and cuddle with me now. But I have to respect his limits.

This was my thought when I read the title. My idea was that it has less to do with pheromones and body size than with body movement. I think men tend to have more sporatic, unpredictable, and aggressive body language that isn't as mindful of space and boundaries. That would explain why there are some men in the comments who say they always get along great with animals, they are probably a lot more careful and deliberate with their movements when trying to get an animal to trust them.
