Hi all,
wow really neat stuff!
I have a little experience with the wolf/dog mix … the other part being German Shepard and they were wonderful dogs unless you were another dog.
Those pictures are more remindful to me of our dogs than being 100% wolf. However I’m certainly no expert.
What makes them so remindful is the snout looks to me to be a little bit shorter and perhaps not quite as narrow just as the dogs we had looked.
Also that wolf looks extremely healthy even taking into consideration his winter coat.
I’d love to have seen the others that were with it.
In any case I don’t think it would be wise to under-estimate them by any means since you can never know what a wild animal will do and since they are in numbers they are going to be much less fearful of you than otherwise.
On top of which they’ve already proven they’re not afraid to come up to your house in complete daylight.
Taking care you or more importantly the missus don’t find yourself cut off from getting back to the house when you’re outside would be something you should always keep aware.
When you’re living within the territory of any wild animal which is a potential physical threat thru an act of agression rather than defense: it is always smart to keep the fact in the back of your mind to stay alert for potential trouble and not hesitating to act as soon as you become aware of a situation and both people and creatures can exist within the boundries of each other’s realm.
I bet 98% of animal attacks could have been avoided if the people had either not been doing what they were doing to provoke the attack in the first place or for those innocent of the latter: if they’d just moved their ass to a safe spot the minute they saw the bear, or the cat, …. or the occasional rogue field mouse (don’t laugh! My pride was seriously mauled on day as a child when one ran up my jean leg and I had to come out of those pants right there in front of all the kids at recess) :nervous:
if only I’d moved away when I first spotted the monster!
… luckily I survived but I still have nights when I wake up in a sweat thinking about that rat’s intentions …
:sarcasm:
