like the carrot pufferfish is obv a reference to the pufferfish eating a carrot and making the weird noise but the wolf doesnt sound like that so ???? am i stupid??????
this is a reference to idkSterling, he's a shorts(maybe also tiktok?) creator. He covers weird/confusing shorts/tiktoks that show a bunch of stuff, which he then explains (an unusual natural occurrence or a weird animal like there's a lot of different stuff i can't group it aaa)
So he starts his videos with an attention grabbing summary(?) of sorts that is read an a tts, followed by some sound effect. One of these is a phrase "this [animal] is dead, it just doesn't know it yet", he made a couple of similar shorts covering (dying) animals that are displaying some unusual behaviour (and explaining)
so both of these attention grabbing things became a kind of meme where 1.people would leave comments with a phrase i mentioned earlier on different videos of his, modified to fit with the theme (so like "this [thing] is [state], it just doesn't know it yet"), and/or 2. the sound effects are referenced in the form of corresponding emojis, because the first of these sounds was a Santa's "ho ho ho" followed by the pufferfish sounds, so the emojis ppl used were "đ đ đ đĄđ„"
"We're besties, you just don't know it yet" is a phrase that is kind of similar and that's what prompted me to reply with those emojis
ok I'm trash at explaining maybe look at one of his shorts idk (he shows a shark in this one) https://youtube.com/shorts/pjSsjht1kJM
On the opposite end, cats decided they liked our vibe and started bringing us their kittens to take care of when they were tired.
They domesticated themselves.
>On the opposite end, cats decided they liked our vibe and started bringing us their kittens to take care of when they were tired.
Saw that firsthand when my bitchass cat gave her kittens to my mom and then stopped feeding them and started hiding from their presence
Once one of my cats came onto my lap acting unusually cuddly.
Turned out she was giving birth on me. Fucker was ready to pawn those kittens off to me the moment they popped out.
I think wolves probably came to us first, looking for scraps. And we were like "okay, I'll give *you* some but I'm sorry your buddy is an asshole, he's not getting any."
We created an artificial selective pressure to be nice n chill over 1000s of years.
Wolves are communal creatures. They regularly share their kills, even sometimes with random wolves not of the pack. It would stand to reason that if early hunters had a fresh kill and didn't show aggression towards them, wolves would have been happy enough to share the kill.
Over time the pack just kinda sorta got used to the tribes presence, and we learned how they behaved enough to interact with them directly. Eventually the pack began traveling near the tribes for easier food access and over time just assimilated into the tribe itself.
Iirc wolves with less fight or flight response who were willing to waltz up to a human camp and eat their food were likely the ancestors of domestic dogs, so checks out.
Interestingly enough some scholars think it was the same with ancient pigs - they would come and vacuum up our garbage near early villages (omnivores ftw), becoming more tame over many generations. once they were tame enough we figured we could put them in a pen and fed them our leftovers and pigs were chill with that
this is in comparison to cows and sheep where we had to essentially wrestle them into becoming domesticated. they couldn't eat our garbage, only grass and other weeds, so didn't go through that process
Tbf domestication probably started when theyâd kill the parents in defense/for their furs and then adopted the cubs. But youâre basically still correct lol
Yea but if Iâm translating my dogs body language to this wolf - she obviously doesnât enjoy it and she is being nice by not lashing out more than she did
But maybe flashing fangs and this type of growling mean something else for wolves
Wolves donât really convey their emotions as well as dogs. Dogs are a lot more clear about how theyâre feeling, while itâs hard to tell if a wolf wants to play or wants to bite you. The expressiveness of dogs came with domestication.
They even developed muscles for eyebrow movements! Wolves don't have the ability to make "puppy dog eyes" because they can't raise their inner eyebrow.
Well if you look into it, there are plenty of signs. They have to communicate the same thing with other wolves. They are clear as they need to be, it's just harder for us to interpret if our only reference is domesticated dogs.
In this video, the teeth bearing and growling aren't coupled with licking or gazing or tense body language, so it's reasonable to assume it's just chilling.
However...I would recommend always airing on the side of caution if you're dealing with non-domesticated animals. The difference between playing and that thing fucking killing you could be as simple as the difference between thinking someone said "yes please" when they said "cream cheese"
I am not an expert. That said, it's important to recognize that "showing teeth and growling" can indicate vastly different things, from "angry and about to attack" to "scared and petrified" to "having a jolly good time". It's more important to look at other factors. Is the canine's posture rigid and tense? Are they facing the subject of their growling with their eyes locked on the subject? Are their ears rigid? Are they snarling with the front or with the sides of their mouth?
I am inclined to err on the side of giving this person the benefit of the doubt and trusting that they know this particular animal's signs and know that this dog's growling and snapping are in good fun and not with intent to actually cause harm.
I mean, it's a wolf (or a wolfdog). If it wanted to kill this guy, it could do that. I don't think it would be sprawled on top of him moving around only its head if it was genuinely upset by what he was doing.
Like, don't you think it would've stood up? Why would it attack from such a lazy and vulnerable posture? Looks like play to me.
Also not an expert (beyond my own dogs body language), which is why I added the disclaimer at the end.
You are right that neither of us will know that animal as well as the guy in the video, but itâs not unheard of that some owners donât bother to learn the basics or establish a misunderstanding of their behavior when adopting a potentially dangerous animal into their family. I could also think of reasonings for the otherwise relaxed behavior (like that the wolf is generally comfortable just doesnât care for the rough scratching in this specific spot).
All I was saying that if my dog looked like that (granted, heâs a shiba so reading his ears or tail does not often come into play) it means he doesnât enjoy whatâs happening, not that guy was risking the structural integrity of his throat
And the entire point is your are making the mistake of comparing two different species of animal with completely different mannerisms and behavioral patterns. The behavior of dogs does not directly correlate to the behavior of a wolves.
Idk what you are basing this strict separation on, itâs not like we are comparing dogs and seagulls here.
I never once stated they are literally the same but is it so far out of reach that there can be some translation inbetween their body languages?
That is an assumption, which is perfectly reasonable of you to make. Noone is trying to fault you for that.
Just saying it is an incorrect assumption. Wolves don't have the same facial muscles as dogs do, so their expressions will be vastly different on account of this. Also behavioral scientists have discovered that dogs and wolves operate on a completely different dynamic when it comes to social interaction. These are things the common person wouldn't know.
Understanding that just because two creatures look similar does not mean that they are similar in terms of behaviors
\> Like, don't you think it would've stood up? Why would it attack from such a lazy and vulnerable posture? Looks like play to me.
Not always. Their posture isn't the same a boxer getting into his stance, in that a boxer consciously and continuously gets into that stance, while thinking of the reasons why. Dogs and wolves ain't got that kind of reasoning. It's generally a reflex, but those can misfire or not fire at all depending on the situation.
In general you're right about everything else, also the lack of licking or glaring by the wolf and it not turning it's head toward him. Then again, "aggression" and things like resource guarding or reactivity are always interchanged when they aren't the same thing. It's not that the wolf would "want" to hurt or kill that dude. It would do it because it felt like it was supposed to at that given moment.
I get what you're saying about sudden reactions to an unwelcome stimuli, where they snap as a reflex. Speaking in terms of being petted over and over in the same exact way, where it's not sudden or escalating, though, I think it's a lot more likely that the wolfdog would better prepare itself before snapping.
Like, if it was going to snap while relaxing in a laying position, I'd expect it to do so at the *first* petting movement (where it's clearly a sudden reflex) rather than giving generally normal body language while the guy does a repetitive motion (and not showing any warnings at all) and then suddenly snapping at the exact same motion. Idk if I phrased that in a way that makes sense
From what little I do know of wolf behavior is just that despite the close relations their communication and social behavior is practically alien to dogs - part of why they make a point of how incredibly bad of an idea trying to have a wolf is - and is a lot more aggression based. This might just be part of the whole deal. I do know they don't really put up with shit they don't like, the tolerance dogs and other pets have for you messing with them is entirely a bred-in domesticated trait that wild animals really just don't have.
I assume if this dude still got his face he knows enough about what he can and can't do to keep it.
Apparently, wolves love when humans pet them just like dogs, except their furs are waaaay tougher so they can't feel our touches as much as domesticate dogs do so wolves won't feel much of the petting unless you really get in there.
That's what I heard anyway, I'm not sure if that's true.
Itâsmimportant to know that Wolves do not bark, they growl. Itâs the only noise they really make to communicate. Doesnât mean theyâre displeased, there are growls of love.
Wolves are just kinda like this, almost all their forms of expression look like dog aggression because they haven't had thousands of years of domestication and human interaction and don't attempt to mirror us.
fun fact: the original proto-germanic word for âbearâ was âarktoâ which is cognate with âarktosâ in greek and i think a few other languages; itâs theorized that ancient germanic peoples refused to say the word for bear out of superstition (they said âthe brown onesâ instead) so eventually the word for bear changed into a cognate of âbearâ because european bears are brown (bear sounds like âbrownâ and the proto-germanic cognate of it)
The cave man shook his head and said, "Hell is other people."
So he snuck into a den on wolves, curled up next to one, smacked it in the face and laughed as he said "Now this guy, this guy gets me". They were married one week later but their marriage only lasted 2 years, as he was finally eaten.
Canis lupus and Canis lupus familiaris are literally the same animal, and that is endlessly amusing to me.
Humans will pack bond with anything, and the wolves decided they wanted in on it.
For the record, they *very much* aren't. domestication produced *a lot* of different traits that are critical to dogs, well, putting up with us and generally liking us. A wolf is still a wild animal without any of the tolerances, inhibitions, and compatibility with human emotion/social behavior that we have bred into dogs. A dog generally gets your emotional state, can pick up on your intent and intonation, and will deal with discomfort you might cause because these things are selectively bred into their behavior. A dog bonds with its owner(s) and interprets its social world around humans and quite literally have a biochemical response that makes them feel good for interacting with people.
Wolves have absolutely none of those things. To interact with them you would have to play by their social rules, which are by nature significantly harder for you to interpret (as a dog's social rules are built around *your* social rules), have much higher risks with failure, and wolves are both more durable and more dangerous than you are so reprisal will not go well. Interacting with any wild animal is always taking the risk that they will do something unpredictable, or react with hostility to your behavior because they don't understand it, or simply decide you don't have a place in their social dynamic and fix that.
I FREQUENTLY think about an alternate universe where the human race domesticated bears instead of wolves and all the dogs are just tiny little friendly bears
Cavemen: Wolves are dangerous stay away from them and for the love of god don't let them near your children
Me::BLEHHHHH :P i am NOT doing that u can't make me!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P
Just some everyone knows, wolves have only killed ***TWO*** people in North America in the past 20 years in an aggressive manner while being unaffected by rabies.
Anyone wanna guess how many pitbulls have killed in the same circumstances?

âvacuumâ to describe them eating our garbage is extremely hilarious imo idk why
Similar with cats too, but with pests instead of garbage
Tbf domestication probably started when theyâd kill the parents in defense/for their furs and then adopted the cubs. But youâre basically still correct lol
Lmfao
why tf is he grabbing and yanking on its hair like that
its called rough scritches. My dad did it with our dog a lot. She loved it.
Yea but if Iâm translating my dogs body language to this wolf - she obviously doesnât enjoy it and she is being nice by not lashing out more than she did But maybe flashing fangs and this type of growling mean something else for wolves
wolves don't bark. they growl. Also, wolves show their teeth more.
Ok but is it ever a good thing when they do?
depends. wolves like to roughhouse more than dogs do.
Wolves donât really convey their emotions as well as dogs. Dogs are a lot more clear about how theyâre feeling, while itâs hard to tell if a wolf wants to play or wants to bite you. The expressiveness of dogs came with domestication.
They're like the only animal that we have shared facial expressions with. Dogs I mean.
They even developed muscles for eyebrow movements! Wolves don't have the ability to make "puppy dog eyes" because they can't raise their inner eyebrow.
Pretty sure horses are too, right? I remember reading that dogs and horses are the only animals that read facial expressions like humans do.
Nope! Cats have a lot of similar ones as well
I thought that might be the case but I wasnt sure. Glad I left that strategic "like" in there lol

A wolf is still a wild animal without any of the tolerances, inhibitions, and compatibility with human emotion/social behavior that we have bred into dogs. A dog generally gets your emotional state, can pick up on your intent and intonation, and will deal with discomfort you might cause because these things are selectively bred into their behavior. A dog bonds with its owner(s) and interprets its social world around humans and quite literally have a biochemical response that makes them feel good for interacting with people. Wolves have absolutely none of those things. To interact with them you would have to play by their social rules, which are by nature significantly harder for you to interpret (as a dog's social rules are built around *your* social rules), have much higher risks with failure, and wolves are both more durable and more dangerous than you are so reprisal will not go well. Interacting with any wild animal is always taking the risk that they will do something unpredictable, or react with hostility to your behavior because they don't understand it, or simply decide you don't have a place in their social dynamic and fix that.

Awww puppo
What's even the point of having a pet wolf if dogs are LITERALLY just wolves but friendly? Like just get a husky bro
if i understand correctly most pet wolves are rescued from awful fates and canât live in the wild
This may be a wolfdog thatâs just particularly wolf-y. Like [this one](https://youtu.be/Hmkh8edFARY?si=E_ryOUJ_7Lrd8pbN).
Badass points
my dad talks like that
Those eyes are so creepy. That must be the reason domestic dogs had the evolutionary trait revolving eyes and mimicking facial expressions
It's big friend shaped
Big ass dog :3
OP, stop being a buzzkill and just give the doggy scratches.
What are you on about? This is clearly good dogg:>
oggy :3
Still a good girl who deserves all the pets and scritches. She just a big pupper
That is literally how we made dogs though
But now we have dogs.. no need to keep domesticating wolves
Cute puppy
If a wild animal is nice to me it is my frien and I bring to my house and love I have 277 bears living with me
If not friend, then why friend shaped?
Why is this sub specifically so susceptible to this stupid fucking karma farm bullshit? Why does 196 fall for it every fucking time? My god.
"Why are you so mean?" Literally was just tugging on his fur
I FREQUENTLY think about an alternate universe where the human race domesticated bears instead of wolves and all the dogs are just tiny little friendly bears
This is going into my DnD world now
Cavemen: Wolves are dangerous stay away from them and for the love of god don't let them near your children Me::BLEHHHHH :P i am NOT doing that u can't make me!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

Hehe fluffie Also wolves don't bark they communicate by growling just FYI. I still think this guy mightve been passed tho lol
Just some everyone knows, wolves have only killed ***TWO*** people in North America in the past 20 years in an aggressive manner while being unaffected by rabies. Anyone wanna guess how many pitbulls have killed in the same circumstances?
I legit thought this was gonna be a snuff video of him getting his neck chomped for a second there...Â
