The title is misleading but no matter how you feel about wolves, this is an awesome video.

Tame wild wolves? Hard to believe.

Not much exposure to humans, maybe? Curious?

I guess they must have....shipped a pack of tame wolves out in the middle of nowhere....and they videoed them doing wolf things and running through the "middle of nowhere" and rounded them all up again and brought them back to the petting zoo.


OK. Got it.

Now all the kids at the county fair can still pet the nice woofy that resides next to the baby goat pen. Wolves love straw and dog food. Just put a quarter in the gumball machine and you get half a hand full off kibbles and bits and those tame ass wolves are your best friend.

If they are ornery, it's probably because of the plane rides.

Those were not typical of wolves that have been shot at, and with them being in Canada, they have to be somewhere north of Churchill, Manitoba. The bears help keep the human riff-raff down. I would guess that the guide (ATV driver) had a rifle for the bears. Wolves are smart. Very smart. They do not need to get shot at more than once to know that people are bad to be around. Curiosity is part of smart. Wolves that are shot at and trapped are about the most man shy animals I have ever seen. Wolves that do not get shot at are problem wolves re: pets and livestock.

That video raises my doubts too. I've been canoing northern Manitoba eventually making Hudson's Bay and Churchill three different times and one to Eskimo Point, NWT (now Arivat, Nunavut I believe) and do not recall trees trees such as those growing within a day's paddle of the Bay. I was north of Churchill though, maybe if one goes far enough south trees begin to grow closer to the Bay.

The catch is, the further south of Churchill one goes the number of polar bears drop rapidly. There was a population of these bears as far south as the islands in James Bay back in the 70's but even then the numbers were so low that this was in dispute. That the bear was in a wooded area while ice was forming in the Bay also has me wondering as the primary food of polar bears year round is water based such as seals or dead ocean critters that washed up onto shore and those are not found often in the woods. The furthest from the bay I saw a seal was about 5 miles as the water becomes relatively shallow which takes away much of the protection a seal has.

The coloring of the bear is kind of strange in my opinion. The latest I was up there was early August but even then the bears I saw were more white than the bear depicted. That is a very subjective opinion based on a relatively small sample but it is one more thing to raise questions.

As for the wolves, the couple times I saw them, they were high tailing it away from us. The locals up there shot them regularly and the wolves learned quickly humans were bad news. We were paddling canoes so were fairly quiet and often crept up on wildlife but the locals all had outboard motors on their canoes the noise of which I suspect wolves learned to avoid. The belugas sure did, they would not let a motorized boat approach very closely but the whales would come right up to us as were only paddled. This seemed to be true with other animals as moose, otters, geese, and other creatures would placidly watch us glide on by but as soon as were identified as human by scent or sound the animals left post haste.

I'm not saying this video was staged but it is contrary to my past experiences, some of which were in the general area.

All I know is the wild wolves we have in Mn. don't tolerate that much human intrusion. If they cross your path, and get your wind they usually take flight.

Anybody can say they are anywhere - remember the english survival guy who was DEEP IN THE WILDERNESS but a vehicle could be seen going down a road in the background .
And yes a pack of tame wolves could easily be taken into any area in montana ,canada,nwt,yukon and film them running towards the Alpo dinner bell .
Get an offroad buggy stuck a couple of times - film it ? yeah it could happen .
I could definately be wrong but I'm not going to believe a pack of wolves will walk up to and hang around a film crew .

They havent been shot at enough.

The black female had a bit of a limp, also.

I wonder if the lady we recently read about who had been killed and eaten by wolves felt threatened, until it was too late.

Well, they are nice and friendly and only take out the old and sick animals so they dont suffer, Paul. smile

Oh sure, they chase some animals a bit so they get stronger and faster to help them avoid predators like...., uh, nevermind.

A timber wolf is not going to come up to a person with my experience . I have land where there are quite a few wolves . It is in N.W. Wisconsin. I have been so close to them that when they started to howl it was piercing. I had a sucker in my canoe at the time and it started to flop in the canoe. The noise from the sucker flopping in the canoe shut their howls up in two seconds . They dont like people at all form my experience and never seen one yet , but have been very close to them while they were howling. They also looked very well fed and perhaps been fed by people, and may have been the reason they walked up on the camera crew.
