How Wolves Use Complex Body Language to Communicate Carpathian Predators | Smithsonian Channel

Why do television networks always have to add extra sound effects? I can tell those are stock growling & whining sound FXS.

You are making it harder to hear & observe the true behavior & communication.

Deceitful

an Invialuk women will tell you more than this short video of the actions of a wolf, and its pack. What you view is incorrect.

Magnificent ❤

I absolutely love wolves, and observing them, and learning from their behavior, never gets old! I have actually been working with wolves for many years, now, and I have, also, personally, been raising a solid black male, for the last 3 years; since he was just 7.5 weeks old, and had been left for dead by his pack. He has his own pack now, at just over 3 years old, and is an excellent alpha male. He goes above and beyond, to care for, and educate his young son, and you can clearly see how much pride he takes in his upbringing. His cognitive ability, in regards to problem solving and analysis, is truly fascinating to witness, and, I believe, it is that incredible sense of intelligence, that gives him such an increased advantage, as a pack leader. Not only, is he focused on himself, but he is highly involved with each and every member; ensuring the establishment, and maintenance, of a deep, personal bond, with each one. He is always inquiring about their needs, and paying much attention, to everyone's state of being. He keeps the pack functioning at the height of its potential, and ensures that all members are looked after, appreciated, and educated, in a way that produces the most beneficial results, for the pack. He certainly seems to understand that the feelings, needs, wants, thoughts, and experiences, held by each member, have a significant impact on that animal's personal, potential output, and therefore, influence the, overall, contribution that can be made, as a unit, and alter the pack's success, as a whole. I have, honestly, felt so humbled, and privileged, to have such an up-close, and personal role, in the lives of these beautiful, and majestic animals. They are impressing me in new ways, all the time, and, based only on what I have been able to observe and experience, as of now, I can claim, with profound confidence, that these animals are FAR more intelligent, than most people realize, and have highly complex communication, and cultural aspects, of their lives, that allow us to relate to them, much more thoroughly, than one would expect!

I want to cuddle them so bad, but like I know you shouldn't... hahha

Love all the added sound effects

Great footage and explanation. Thanks for sharing.

I LOVE WOLVES! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.

So similar to the actions of domesticated dogs

Video is too short at under 3 minutes! Or was there nothing else to report about the "complex body language"?

I walked a wolf around the woods in the Cotswolds, England two years ago. They are majestic animals with an aura and a mystique about them. It was an incredible experience.

I'm going in to work tomorrow and I'm gonna bite my coworkers' muzzles.

It's intense!

🤔

Wow, did I feel sorry for the belly up wolf 😮. If only I could do that for my misbehaving kids 😁

I love wolves. They are so majestic.

In Belgium wolves are back too❤
