I have a friend living in alaska that is an avid Hunter. He’s told me multiple times that while out in the wilderness the wolves tend to keep tabs on people and always know where they are at. He said you’ll only catch a glimpse but they’re always there and always watching. He said looking at one is not so much scary as it is ethereal, like seeing a spirit among the trees. Apparently looking into their eyes is like looking at a person and their intelligence is blatantly apparent.

Years late but I too live in Alaska, and I work for the pipeline above the arctic circle where there are no trees. They are indeed always around, and you definitely rarely see them. But sometimes they just don't seem to care. I recently saw the whole pack (about 8) that lives in my valley where I work, just chilling next to the road. The first time I saw one up close two of them were trotting along the road single file, maybe 10 feet away and I was driving the opposite direction. It was mid winter, foggy, and dusk. As we passed each other, I made eye contact with the lead wolf. Large and black. The look on his face was one of complete indifference. Had no fear of me. And looking into his eyes was spiritual. I still get goosebumps every time I think about it.

Just to give an added perspective. I did wolf dog rescue for some years and had up to five of my own personnel wolf dogs ranging in content from 20% to 80+% wolf. When you live with them, sleep next to them and are one of their pack, you are indeed well protected and yes, loved deeply by them also. While they do take very special handling and containment they are amazing animals to share life with. Only a fool would ever lose sight of the fact that they are still wolves though. The difference and depth they show compared to a domestic dog gives you a very clear view of how weak both in body and mind the toughest of domestic dogs are. It's no wonder to me that so many people for thousands of years have considered them a mystical being. I've also see the incredible fear and hatred some people have for them despite having no experience with them, or even ever being around them. I live where wolves can indeed be and are, but there's also mountain lions, bears, moose and a whole assortment of animals that can end you. I don't fear that but I do have deep respect, keen awareness and stay well armed. The strongest fitest of men, looks and moves like an uncoordinated wounded animal to most of the above mentioned.

I sincerely appreciate this. Thanks for taking the time to share this Montana. Ultimately, I hope my opening line "the very Earth we live on has been just as dangerous...if it is not respected" serves to address this very sentiment. Wolves are not something to be feared, but rather to be respected, both as a predator and for their beauty. As I say, we remarkably have much in common with them. The author of the story in this episode. Ernest Seton, is certainly worth mentioning. He spent much of his formative years in the Canadian wilderness and turned his experiences into a number of stories which, from the animal's perspective, demonstrated a sincere understanding of their nature. He also co-founded the Boy Scouts. Some of his stories about North American wolves were acquired as he spent time hunting them in the Southwest US in the late 19th Century. I would presume his hunting was intended for the preservation of wolves as much as humans--since both wished to reside in the same area. And yet, his stories characterized wolves (and other predators) not as evil, but as "compassionate, individualistic beings." He clearly respected them. I have likewise seen similar sentiments in books I've read, such as Gary Paulsen's "Hatchet" series.

As I'm sure Ernest Seton found, you can't spend time around them, even at a distance without seeing how powerful they are in both their ability to survive and their deep love of their own packs/families. I would say your right, that we should have much in common with them. That good Men and Women should strive to share that kind of fierceness and passion for their families. On the Military side, I'm a Morgan horseman. Morgans are the oldest true American horse breed and were also bred and used as Cavalry horses by the US government.

I prefer the term Lone Wolf to Mountain Hermit. It always sounded more... dignified. As a Scout, (Life) I never saw proper Wolves here in Ohio, even in remote hill-country. Only Cayotes, & Grassmen. (Could have been a huge hairy hunter tho, I didn't get a good look & I wasn't about to chase something the size of a upright bear. We do not have bears here in Ohio) That being said, we always spoke about 'what to do if x attacks'. Moose = Get out of Reach & don't make eye-contact. Bear = Stay alert, because they can smell you for leagues away down-wind. In bear country, you NEED to be armed. Aim for the legs & RUN if you are charged. Get out of reach, in a tree if only available but Bears can wait for 4+ days (especially if you angered it or it's cubs) for you to fall out of a tree. Wolves = Depends, but if it's more then 10+ you need to kill yourself. Save your last bullet for yourself. You may be able to shove your fist PERFECTLY into it's mouth (to avoid a forearm or elbow savaging) & grab it's tongue while punching it in the neck or balls (if it's male) but you will NOT be able to have any meaningful fight against more then 1 Proper Alpha Hunting Wolf. If you can't get out of reach, you're going to be Wolf Food. (IMHO, You can scare away most animals (especially with a .44 or .45) but Racoons were my worst fear. Rabies shots are very painful & you have to get them if you get bitten ONCE by a curious / aggressive Racoon. I would feed a Racoon rather then fight it, I'm that freaked by them. I've never had a pack of wolves try to get into my tent but I have had a pack of +10 Racoons try to paw/bite into my tent walls. I was imagining Zombie Racoons, btw)

The same saltwater croc nightmare horror happened in the WW2 Papua New Guinea Buna/Gona/Wewak campaign amongst the mangroves and swamps in late 44' 45'. My Aussie Digger father was in the 6th Div in that fight and he and his mates witnessed a failed Japanese night attack into Austrailian and Yank lines across a flooded river..a dark muddied river and fetid humid mangrove loaded to the teeth with 15' and 20' Crocs. My father and his younger brother were in this same fight,but from different battalions..and as kids they told us some harrowing and nightmarish stories of the horrifying screams and thrashings as the crocs took out most of the Japanese troops over several long hours of blood and death. He said they,my uncle and father,and their mates who survived the fight, never could quite remove those human screams from their dreams on certain hot humid summer nights back here at home in Queensland after the war. The Diggers hardly fired a shot on the night in question..as the crocs did the evil work for them. Can you just imagine..being a soldier scared,then being jumped by a huge croc in pitch darkness,in clouded muddy water,and as your comrades are also shredded an eviscerated and dragged to their wailing screaming deaths as a food source for starving saltwater crocs? War is Hell!..But Crocs are The Stuff of Natural World Nightmares! Eeeeeeeek!!! ..😨😱😨. (/-\)..

This reminds me of a scene from WW2. In the Pacific, there was an island that the Japanese seized early in the fighting. Later retaking the island, Allied forces drove the Japanese into a swamp... filled with Saltwater Crocodiles, the largest crocodilians alive. Supposedly throughout the night, Allies heard the slaughter and gunfire as hundreds died. It seems strange that at times wild animals have come to leave such a deep impact on human history, especially in the midst of war.

I used to live in a very isolated and small town in the Michigan woods. For most of a year hunters were terrorized by a Coywolf with a twisted/crooked snout. What freaked out the townspeople was its very strange behavior. It was extremely aggressive yet cunning, it would lure hunting dogs into chasing it then turn and kill them when they were too far for the hunters to help. It also seemed to kill without cause as people would find small game dead by wounds consistent with a canine,with a odd jaw alignment causing the bite wounds to look a bit off, yet little if any of the game was eaten. It also couldn't howl properly, making a rather unnerving warped howl at around 11pm every night. It was eventually tracked down and killed. There shouldn't have been any coyotes in the area and there were very few wolves in the area,so how that unfortunate creature came to be in those woods is a bit of a mystery.

I likewise can't help but acknowledge the idea of humans eradicating disease by eradicating "the diseased". My understanding of this premise coming from my research into the inhuman experiments and exterminations taking place during various wars, as well as the study and implementation of eugenics both here in the US and abroad. Good intentions (improving humanity) with immoral practices (destroying actual humans), I suppose is another way of putting it. That being said, I sincerely do appreciate you making an important distinction: As much as we destroy each other for the sake of bettering ourselves, there is much kindness in the world that is often overlooked--certainly by our media. Why we tend to focus more on the negative and repeatedly pit ourselves against each other, rather than focusing on the struggles we all face together... whether that's spiritual or psychological I couldn't say.

More to the point of recognizing the irony of men sent to kill each other temporarily becoming allies, only to then return to killing each other once the common enemy is defeated. Humans are probably the few among Earths inhabitants that so frequently contradict themselves. But then again, it appears wolves demonstrate the same behavior in dire situations, ignoring their previous territorial rivalries and hunting together with foreign wolves when survival is of the essence.

If true, it's a tragic story with these wolves being drawn into a horrific trap. I'm not suggesting that the people of Paris did not have to act, but it doesn't make the story any more palatable. The wolves, led by their fearless and charismatic leader, Courtaud, were clearly desperate and starving - I'm sure that they had a fair idea that it was a trap, but felt that they had no other option. I'm also sure that they didn't want to approach human settlements causing the initial attacks - they must have been driven to this behaviour, so it is sad that this final battle had to take place.

And as with Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and other controversial canines, I'd imagine the arguments for and against having them as pets are (as expected) entirely subjective. Sigh. I've noticed a few commenters unfortunately taking the story out of context. I would personally like to distinguish that there is clearly a behavioral difference between individual wolves who are well-cared for, especially domesticated wolves, and packs of wild animals lead to the brink of starvation doing what they have to to survive.

Your channel is excellent it will not go unnoticed. The content is of higher quality than at least half of the shows currently on Discovery, History, and Travel Channels all of which are very good by the way. I hope you are also considering writing something of the 120 page variety. You certainly have a few potential movies here.

@@WartimeStories I have a background in Military History so I was going to find this channel one way or another. 40k in subs is not bad but it doesn’t reflect the number of people who are the “ target “ audience - so to speak. It comes down to them finding out about your channel. Incremental growth is not the worst thing, a new sub 6 months from now will have tremendous value as they will likely be watching your whole catalog. You are almost at a critical number of subs where growth becomes easier. The first 1000 is much harder than going from 25-30k. You can see why I am not a writer. That was a 💩 y pep talk. If you are in need of an idea for a story read Steven Ambrose. D Day. The very first chapter leads with this farm boy from the south who went T100 on the Nazi defenders before his story concludes all too soon. See if it’s of interest. The name of the Paratrooper was Waverley Wray. If you can get past his negligible southern upbringing which is only alluded to in the description his account is one of the most heroic I’ve ever read. Good luck and concentrate on the art. Everything else will take care of itself.

in my country the wolves were wiped out. than a few of years back just a few wolf couples were introduced back in to the wilds and environmentalists cheered to no ends. just a few years passed and wolves multiplied immensely, and started slaughtering whole herds of livestock, causing big economic damage and endangering the remote villages. so the rural living people demand them to be wiped out again XD such is the cycle of life.

There's a whole page on Wikipedia devoted to fatalities due to wolf attacks and it's very fascinating. If they have a bad winter and you are anywhere near a pack, they'll try to eat you despite having a gun with many bullets. Despite you and a pall killing 14 of them in one case, the ones left are still on the verge of starvation.

I'm not too far in the story but thank you so much for giving us stories I never heard about :D I'm not sure if you or BedTime Stories ever got into the story of the White Rose or in German die Weiße Rose, a non-violent, intellectual resistance against the Nazi regime. the group was led by Sophie Scholl, her brother Hans Scholl and Alexander Schmorell. maybe you would make an episode out of it, I would love to listen to it. thank you in advance!

Fantastic video. One thing has always perplexed me about human's relationship with wolves - we are told that wolves cannot be truly domesticated*, yet we are also told that humans did just that, around 40,000 years ago, so how did this occur? Clearly this early relationship would have to be mutually beneficial, so what would have caused humans and wolves to come together to form a symbiotic relationship? Obviously this was the age of mega-fauna, with humans and wolves having to hunt massive prey, so a kill would provide a huge amount of food - were wolves intelligent enough to understand this? Did adverse climatic conditions force humans and wolves together? Were Upper Palaeolithic wolves 'different' from modern day wolves? Was there a specific pack that, (being led by a unique leader) were more predisposed to domestication? Was there a 'sub-set' of slightly different wolves, with slightly different characteristics that made them more suitable for domestication? Did it perhaps take many years, with a number of false starts to the relationship? There had to have been something that caused this relationship to thrive, particularly given that we are told, in no uncertain terms, that wolves cannot be domesticated. *I know that a number of people have taken on wolves, and managed to alter their behaviour enough to be considered 'domesticated', but there are many who strongly advise against this course of action, stating that they aren't truly domesticated/tamed.

Human conflicts fighting against Earth's wolves. Still better than fighting a floating castle, accompanied by robot frogs with lasers and missiles, being led by a conquering murderous newt king, to be honest. (That Amphibia nod aside, this is a great vid. Can't wait for Part 2, again.)

I'm a nature lover, but even though I still respect & admire wolves. they're one of the few animals that genuinely scare me. They evoke this feeling of being SO out of your depth, removed from your modern human element, it's a special kind of unnerving. You're truly in their world, at their mercy. And bearing in mind how smart & cooperative of predators they are...you *know full well* your odds. Same to being in the middle of the ocean with a shark.

Someone’s got to say it and I will. If you’re going to be an evolutionist, then be one already. Quit with this garbage of, “Evolutionary demands dictate…”. If you choose to believe that all this unimaginable complexity came about by only time and chance, then present it that way. Quit personifying random meaninglessness please. The contradiction has nothing to do with the story anyways, especially considering this channels content. (Done griping, feel better, love ur channel)

I'm not sure which channel it would be best put on, but there is a story during WW2 about the Black forests in Germany. The accounts from both American and German accounts, diaries or journals, about a battle that seems to have Werewolves taking part during one night. It's interesting, as the first part of it I heard of it, was from a history channel show that went over strange things from WW2. Then about a year ago now, I heard they found diaries or journals that filled in a lot of details. I just thought it could be a good topic, seeing as it could be on either channel.
