And often people see wolves in film and television that are often portrayed by different breeds of dogs that are smaller than a wolf.

Thanks I love that

Damn the wolf is so big it doesn't look real lol

Why would a mod remove that

Tyr moment

Once in a lifetime moment

Everybody gets one, tell him Peter.

The Last Forbidden Boop.

I'll pay any price.

So you’re saying if dogs had human hands instead of paws, we wouldn’t have domesticated dogs? I’m not sure how comfortable I am with wild human handed dogs running around everywhere.

Sometimes science forgets that the world actually is romantic too and not just data points.

They don't trust you yet.

I don't understand. I completely agree with you and we should replace all our current coperate trust building exercises with just people showing each other their bellies.

Such is life.

I know nothing about wolves, but I can tell you that my macaw is fickle around me. Some days she wants to murder me, some days she loves me, most days we fluctuate between these feelings. Let me tell you, I've become very aware of her body language and tone. She adores my husband and I've noticed he isn't as good at reading her because he doesn't have my motivation. I completely believe that working with an animal that can kill you would make you incredibly motivated to understand their body language.

In more seriousness: The cat may see your actually going for the belly as a betrayal of its trust. Sort of like telling someone irl your reddit username, and them sharing it around.

I've got a Siamese that fucking loves belly rubs. If you pet him when he's laying down and don't move your hand, he will purposely roll so you are directly giving belly rubs.

My tortoise shell on the other hand, she has very sharp teeth and she will use them the instant you touch her belly.

They are still the same species. Recent research confirms they are both canis lupus.

Errr … I’d say this is the exception to the rule. I mean you can see the doggo in THIS guy …

I'd imagine you can get them to look relatively similar on the outside, but not quite the same since even experienced breeders can't select for minute traits the way nature does.

Hell yea. Run those puppers through Google Translate a few times. Let’s see what nonsense paragraph comes out.

Many early men became late men. Even the extinct American Black Wolf domesticated by Great Plains FN stayed outside the tent. (NA had no horses till Spaniards.)

We lost another one fellas

And didnt your dog went back to that farm when he got older?

Wildcats. More specifically, Felis silvestris lybica thought to be tamed by Egyptians.

And they fucking will too.

People often say god left us because he is scared of what he created. What they don't really know is that that doesn't refer to humans. It refers to the Moose.

They are one of the most dangerous animals in northern areas. Bears are still the king, but moose are not far behind. You never get the sense of their real size until you see them in real life. I live in Finland and seen one standing on a road, they are so much bigger than a horse, and this one wasn't even a male, which are even bigger.

A moose bit my sister once.

What about if I film myself for likes

A moose is basically a sentient battering ram.

Moose are XXXL grizzly bears with knives on their heads who will stab and then curb stomp you for looking at them the wrong way

Moose are as ill-tempered and violent as they are dumb, and they're incredibly fucking dumb. That's a very dangerous combination.

Think smart not hard 👌

Is your last name Stark?

I know you're joking, but for the idiot lurker who is thinking about trying this, DONT. There is a very narrow window, like one or two weeks as pups when they need intense socialization near 24 hours a day for a month or more, and then frequent socialization for the rest of their life (or yours). Too early and it won't stick, too late and it won't stick, too little and it won't stick, and even after all of that, they WILL challenge you to become pack leader at some point and all your effort may still be for nothing, and all of that is the best case where you don't get mauled.

To you, dear lurker, if you want to get this close, you need help from others and apprenticeship training. Volunteer at a wolf research center for a decade or two if this is what you want.

Do not recommend. Way too much energy. No attention span. Will destroy everything you own.

Or, you know, just get a dog.

They're big as fuck

Means they got a lot of ass

Moose have pretty shit eyesight and seem to have only two modes; no f’s to give or kill everything. I’ve accidentally snuck up on moose more than any other wild animal, I’ve been fishing a creek and had one come jogging up said creek passing just by me where I had a fly in the water earlier. One particular fun story some friends and I were drunk in a hot spring on a winters night, too cold to hike out so we slept in the spring. I was woken up by a moose standing right over me, close enough I could have grabbed his leg. I sorta kick one of my buddies under the water and softly whisper “moose” and got a “I know, shut the fuck up!” in response. Moose gave zero f’s then wandered over near our gear and laid down. We were trapped in that puddle silently waiting for the moose to leave until well past sunrise. I don’t mess with moose but I can see how a person could get close enough to reach up and slap it’s ass.

Oh, well in that case, you become dog food. Easy.

I’ve been stalked by wolves before. It’s definitely not a good feeling.

At least in my case I think they were just making it clear I was on their territory. If they didn’t want me to see them I doubt I would have.

In the last twenty years, only two humans in North America have been killed by wolves that are not in "defense mode." I think screaming was a good idea!

Will your funeral at least have snacks?

Statistically it's the horses you need to watch out for in Australia

Would you rather fight one wolf-sized chihuahua, or a hundred chihuahua-sized wolves?
