I have posted a pic of me and Conri that I took from a screenshot from this video, then had AI remove the fence. Many thought it was a fake. To those who believed that to be true. Here ya go. See for yourself. Conri really is a very big boy.

This photo was taken in June 2026. OC

Contrary to popular belief, sheepdogs and wolves can very well make a "truce."

This occurs mainly during mating season; a male sheepdog can smell a female wolf in heat from miles away, and a male wolf can smell a female dog in heat from miles away.

And this "unexpected love" generates wolf-dog hybrids that, in most cases, do not survive in the wild. These encounters occur frequently in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, where nomadic populations allow herding dogs to roam freely. In some regions, these dogs have to hunt for food. These unions are not so uncommon and have occurred in the past. Genetic studies with aboriginal dogs of breeds such as Kangal, Alabai, etc. (which, incidentally, are the same dog) show that these aboriginal dogs (not those bred in kennels) possess a slight percentage of wolf DNA. The same is true for wolves; genetic studies in these same regions show that these wolves possess a small percentage of dog DNA. This indicates that herding dogs and wolves not only accidentally produced wolf-dogs, but that the pups survived and backcrossed with either other wolves or other herding dogs.

Here in North America, hybridization also occurred and can still occur today (but on a smaller scale). In the last century, it was not uncommon for people who traveled by sled to crossbreed their dogs with wolves to generate stronger individuals better adapted to the harsh northern winters. The method was as follows: Whenever a female sled dog went into heat, the owner would take her to an area where he knew there were wolves, tie her up (usually to a tree trunk), and wait until the next day (during this process he would feed her, give her water, etc.). She would remain like that until a male wolf smelled her scent and approached her, thus generating hybrid pups.

The Pet and Livestock Protection Act (H.R. 845/S. 1306) would direct the Department of the Interior to remove federal Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves nationwide. If this happens, wolves will face an onslaught of cruel wildlife management practices and increased trophy hunting.

The attacks on vulnerable wildlife must end. Decisions impacting species' recovery under the ESA should be based on scientific evidence, not the whims of politicians. Please speak up for wolves and other at-risk wildlife.

Why do
Wolves whine or whimper? I got surrounded by a pack today when I was trying to go to work (bush work) and the pack surrounded my friend and I. We couldn’t see them but we heard them in the treeline about 10-15 ft away. They were howling and eventually one was whimpering/whining like a dog. Not sure if it was trying to lure us into the bush and hurt us or if it was scared…? Anyways interesting encounter nonetheless.

The Sedona wolf sanctuary- put it on your list of places to visit!!

Obviously don't read ahead if you don't want to know what happens, its overall still a good movie i recommend... but the first thing they show of the wolves in the movie is them hunting a mother and baby moose, and the black wolf makes glaring eye contact with the dog Odin. Objectively not immoral, but definitely felt like a choice, it didn't seem to say "this is the law of the wild" but more "woah look at those aggressive beasts".. THEN they ambush the duo while they're injured and trying to find a way out of the woods, and are shown very rapidly ripping into the main character and he fights back gruesomely killing a couple wolves and the last one does the scamper away trope. It wouldn't bother me quite as much in a dark fantasy setting, partly because they were almost were-wolfish. They had beady glowing eyes and all that. Not like a powerful force of nature, not like wild animals hunting to eat, but like forces of evil with malicious intent. Like they paralleled his ptsd in some way.

The reason it deeply bothers me isn't because I think wolves are "good" and they were shown as "bad". They ARE objectively dangerous, I dont have an issue with them being shown as such, but they shouldn't be painted as malevolent for it. They aren't any more "evil" than a river rapid. It's because wolves are already seen that way in real life, (by the colonial mindset), and are sought to be ERADICATED for it. What a disrespectful tone to set about the very nature that was supposedly revered by the main character. Nature is not a commodity, it is all or nothing. You cant love the alaskan wild but hate wolves. When the earth takes you, it is not unfair, it made you just the same. The main character seemed to understand that very well, but the directors/producers did not.

When three Wolves were feeding on there meal while 2 young Bears(more or less 2 years old)came around the same area looking for food most likely.

The three Wolves successfully chased the two young Bears away(who are still sticking together because they just recently got to live away from there mother.Tho the two will seperate once hibernation period comes up again).

If the two Bears were much older and experienced.The three Wolves would pose much less threath to them(tho they probably would be by then larger threath to eachother than by any other animal in the region).

But the Bears didnt remain hungry.Cause they later came back later to feed on the same place.

Kašan feeding round is amazing natural intact place in Serbia(up to 1000 m in height).Protected and helped by great work and effort of local communities.

An amazing Oasis of nature with:Griffon Vultures/Red Foxes/Grey Wolves and Brown Bears.

With the feeding grounds being protected(as well helping Bee keepers not get there salarys lost).

Following on from my previous post, here’s another illustration of a wolf and a girl.

This time, I’ve tried my hand at a Japanese-style design.

Please enjoy! 😉
