WHY WOLVES HATE MEN & NOT WOMEN

hello and welcome to animal watch and today we're going to be talking about why wolves are not very keen on men as someone who has worked to mix with wolves and wolf dogs for over 20 years one thing is apparent captive wolves definitely treat biological males different to females especially human males that have had no contribution to their upbringing and are classified as strangers this Fear Can manifest in retreating growling and general inability to bring themselves to bond close to a fully adult man so today I'm going to try to introduce Bosch a fully intact white wolf to my son Kai who was 16 years old we will see how Bosch reacts to him and see if through certain mannerisms and body language which I'm going to get Kai to do if we can encourage Bosch to accept him like he would any woman or perhaps find about it for even a 16 year old boy is still too much man for him plus we will survive fly strike as for the first time on animal watch we encounter a flute explosion of thousands of flies whilst filming yuck stay tuned to find out now dogs are our best friends that means both women and men but did you know that wolves and many wolf dogs are not so keen on the male species now if you raise a wolf or wolf dog from a baby and you are a man you are often okay with the wolf but if you are a strange man meeting a mature wolf or wolf dog it is often a very different story many captive wolves and wolf dogs are far more fearful of a man than a woman so why is this well the general consensus is that men give off a strong scent of testosterone and this could be very threatening to wolves or wolf dogs especially male wolves men are also taller which is more intimidating than women they speak with deeper voices than women and often walk and behave with larger more demonstrative mannerisms than women do all of this can be quite threatening to the wolf who contrary to belief is a very timid and scared creature wolves work well as a pack and use each other as each other's strength so when you see a captive wolf alone or a pet wolf dog without a pack he can often run the opposite way when a man approaches now animal watch has met the white wolf Bush before Bosch is an intact male and a very confident wolf he lives in the most unbelievable setting in Shropshire wolf watch UK remember when we visited last and stayed in cozy luxury Wolf Lodge and I got to wake to the sound of howls [Music] well I was back again at Wolf watch UK and Bosch is now in his adult Prime at three years old Bosch is cared for by Tony who struck up his bond with Bosch when he was only one years old meaning it was easier to cement a bond despite this even Tony struggles in the breeding winter months from November to January when wolves develop winter wolf syndrome a slang expression Horizon testosterone during the breeding winter months for walls Tony has told me that Bosch didn't even let him close at times however still allowed women close by during this season well Bosch loves me and I love him we bonded when he first arrived and he feels very happy and safe around me as you can see here my son Kai visited wolf watch UK many years ago when Maddie the wolf was very old almost 19 years of age and he was about 12. Kai was allowed to walk her under supervision he has great experience with Czechoslovakian Wolf dogs and any other very large dog last time I filmed at Wolf watch UK Bosch was very fearful to both male cameramen I brought with me especially the very tall drone operator he hid from him even before he could see him on his scent alone so today we want to see if we can get boss to accept my 16 year old son as despite him being five foot eleven he still may not have full testosterone levels yet plus he knows how to act around wolves and wolf dogs and his intent on presenting himself as least threatening as possible to Bosh so everybody animal Watchers this is my son Kai he's 16 years old and he absolutely loves wolves he has great amounts of expertise in checkers the vacuum wolf dogs and wolf dogs you know like ocean my blue wolf dog but today we are going to take a look at how Bosch the white wolf here at Wolf watch UK is going to react to Kai now he's very very tall and 16 years old because obviously years and years and years ago he met Maddie the old wolf here and she got on incredibly well with him but she was 18 at the time and very very old but now we want to see if we can get Bosch to accept Kai as he is becoming a man and common things that can go wrong Kai with walls is that they smell the testosterone on men I know and it's also just like you're you might be louder in general your lower pitch voice you've got all these different things which like females are sort of more subtle and softer in that action so what we're going to do is we're going to see how Bosch accepts him just as he is and we're going to do all the different things that I would advise anyone to do about being very small and being you know quiet and non-threatening my Bosch isn't going to hurt him the worst case scenarios he'll just run away and Kai won't get an interaction but we're going to try and make sure that he does get an interaction which will give you guys some education at home and how to behave yourself if you ever get to me any captive walls we walked into the enclosure with Tony who runs wolf watch UK and I went and sat on my own with Bosch to start with in order to make him feel at ease we were struggling as there had been an explosion of horse flies this week and they were all landing on our faces makes you realize how annoying to animals they must be anyway Bosch came and said hi to me however did have one eye on Kai as well as the two wolves in the enclosure next door we got Kai to sit down next to me the idea was to make him as least threatening as possible a reward Bush Retreat every time he made contact goodbye averted his eyes a lot of the time I made sure to keep his voice high and gentle he also stooped to make himself shorter everything which would almost feminize him in the eyes of bush it was very positive and Bosch did come close to Kai and take food the closest a strange man has got to Bosh according to Tony the important thing with Wolves is always to let them decide when to approach you you must never cause not or force yourself as this is the only time they could bite so help them learn to trust you and reward every forward leap with positivity this was food and kind oh we went to the water to see if we could get away from the Flies and Kai managed to get Bosch to come to him several times flat hand to stop nibbled fingers as when dogs and wolves are scared they tend to snatch food and run Bosch was suddenly snapping and running so he wanted to let Kai keep his fingers finally I had a little howl with Bosch to say thank you to him for being so brave [Music] how was that well he's getting better he actually came up to me he took the food you can tell he definitely prefers the food over me well that's the same of anything but he's a lot better with you you know he's like coming up you do feel the sort of that it might be slightly more wary of men than women yeah probably you did all the right stuff yeah I think so at least so you did as best you could do and I think your interaction was very good well you were very very lucky because because Bosh won't say hi to a lot of men so by changing your body language and also him associating you with me and Tony made him feel a little bit more comfortable but he's a bit bored today he's a bit distracted he's distracted by the Wolves over there yeah exactly all these flies which are disgusting um so I think you got a really good interaction it all comes down to the body language I guess you can't come stomping in standing up looking big you've got to get down kneel down and also you're you've got good experience with large dogs and wolf dogs so you also feel confident sometimes people give off pheromones of fear almost and because you're confident and you like him and you love dogs and you're not fearful you will be giving off the right pheromones anyway to him as best you can anyway so I think that was great yeah in conclusion Bosch is the most social wolf I know and treats me like a dog would treat me he licks my face plays with me and is very sweet equally he shows distress when he sees or smells strange men Kai is 16 so perhaps a Bosch he doesn't yet smell or look like a grown man however it took some work to get Bush comfortable with him I did everything right and made himself smaller non-threatening he showered before arriving and used a higher gentler voice with all of this Bosch definitely treated him differently to a woman however I think that if Kai was to visit regularly and create a bond with Bosch he would trust him over time his first reaction to Kai was very positive as Tony has seen Bosch completely run away from other men so he got a very promising first encounter Tony said this was a very excellent result so I think that Kai did everything correct and this is why the results paid off well as you know wolf watch UK relies on contributions to keep going and they've got this amazing
