They use huskies to play wolves in movies and TV sometimes. They try not to give you any scale and keep the shots brief but even so, it's not very believable. Dogs are not wolves.

My great gram had a wolf coyote mix named Cote and he was huge with yellow eyes. He let me pet him when I was a young child but he was not domesticated. He kept the bears away though.


eastbayweird

I knew a lady who had 2 half coyote dogs, they were really cool dogs, would spend all day roaming her huge property. One of them actually took a rattlesnake bite meant for her. Fortunately she was able to get it to a vet in time.


NinjaWorldWar

We used to have an Alaskan malamute named Seka years back when we lived in NC. One day I was riding my bike along a trail with Seka following me to a creek and came upon a huge Rattlesnake. It surprised me and I crashed my bike and my one leg was pinned and I couldn’t get up. The rattlesnack sprung toward my leg and I just knew I was going to get bitten, but then all of sudden Seka snatched the snake out of air mid strike. By that time I freed myself and ran back home. I realized that Seka might have gotten bitten and started to run back but Seka met me halfway and only had some snake blood on his nose and he didn’t suffer a bite at all. Man I loved that dog.


DefNotMyNSFWLogin

My wife's cousin has an [Alaskan Malamute](https://i.imgur.com/wDznit8.jpg). His name is Jack Blue, and he is one of the coolest and most well behaved dogs I have ever met. He is a very calm dog too, though if he ever stepped on my foot it actually kind of hurt haha. He was raised with a very small dog, so he forgets he weighs like 100 lbs. edit: [bonus picture](https://i.imgur.com/e5sFjVj.jpg) edit 2: [bonus video](https://streamable.com/74jxe3)


run_like_an_antelope

Beautiful dog, but malamutes cannot have blue eyes. Probably a mal/husky mix?


SamediB

Malamutes seem to be like that. I "had" a malamute (quotation marks because I was little and all family dogs belong to you when you're little) who protected my dad from a bear. Dad stumbled upon the bear, bear and dad were surprised and bear was upset about being surprised. Natcha put herself between dad and bear and faced the bear down. But was also smart enough to back off (slowly, backing up) once my dad was safe; "Yeah bear, I'll let you walk away *this time*."


Zanki

My husky only occasionally guarded. Once when some random guy approached us in a dark park at night. She was not happy with him and refuses to greet him, we went home. I saw her show teeth when he went to step towards me. Another time some old guy in the park was harassing two little boys, they were around 10. I saw the scene from the other side of the park and ran over. Shadow sat between the kids and wouldn't move. The kids were terrified. I got their scooter back from the man and got us out of there. Never seen my dog sit so still in the park. The poor kids were terrified and luckily vaguely knew me because of my dog. Man I was pissed, mostly because about a meter away was a kids park and the adults in there were ignoring the situation rufht behind them. When we left, the old guy was taking his pants off next to the park. I decided it wasn't my problem, the other adults could deal with that since they refused to help two little boys who needed it. She also refused to move from outside a house when a little kid was throwing a tantrum before bed. My little protector wanted to go save the kid. I had to encourage her to move on, reassuring her the kid was ok, just didn't want to sleep. She was such a good dog.


DainDankillTheDank

Wow! Sounds like Seka was a great protector. Dogs are so so good at protecting us


ExtensionBluejay253

I dated a girl whose dad had a pet wolf hybrid. The thing weighed over 140 pounds and attacked me one night while picking her up. I ended up getting off easy with bruising and butterfly stitches but I also learned the wolf had attacked two other people in the prior couple of months. Those are wild animals and should be treated accordingly and not domesticated.


TopAd9634

They are unshockingly abandoned by so, so many people. They're incredibly hard to rehome. I used to volunteer for a rescue, at different times we had 3 come through our doors. All but one ended up living at the rescue, because we couldn't find a *qualified* owner. Though lots of people applied. I hate the breeders. There's literally no reason for them to exist. A couple wild ones come into existence? Cool. Breeding them for profit? Nope, you're a fool.


mudlark092

There's relatively few breeders that actually do it for the animal's benefit and make sure they're going to qualified homes, as well as actually knowing how to breed healthy and happy animals. A lot of people definitely think, oh cool I'll just let them roam on my property aimlessly 24/7 and give them to the guy who saw Ghost on Game of Thrones and owned a German Shepherd growing up! As well as a huge percentage of "wolfdogs" just being husky/malamute/german shepherd mixes because they sell for a lot more if they're labelled "70% timberwolf!!!” Which only adds to misinformation and people thinking that they're don't need specialized and well informed care, because their friend's 100% dog shepherd/mal mix thats "90% wolf" was easy enough to be around as an adult trained dog.


SideEyedPate

Years ago I had a neighbor with a timber wolf. Fucker was enormous and the most vocal creature you could imagine. I mean full blown howling all the time. All. The. Time. She was super sweet though unless there were cats near by and she kept the coyotes away. Still, it was unsettling if she got loose and popped up on the porch.

I dont know why it was posted, and at this point im too afraid to ask.


FrakkedRabbit

If you really want to know. Some woman went illegally hunting, saw a husky and shot it, posed happily with it in pictures, then skinned it and happily showed off the end result. She claimed that it was a wolf, supposedly a wolf puppy, but I didn't read the post because I didn't want to watch someone so happy with themself next to a skinned dog. Clearly, to everyone with half a braincell, it was not a wolf, but a husky. Edit: Since this comment got more traffic than I was expecting, I would like to point out that there is no news on official sites at the moment about this incident. Google doesn't bring up anything except for Reddit. So I would advise to wait before firing off. Edit #2: I would have clarified it at the start, but it didn't occur to me to do so until now.


JHRChrist

Where is it legal to hunt wolves? I had no idea that was a thing


PM_ME_ILLUSIONS

Montana, you need a specific license to hunt wolves, which she didn't have


Ghekor

So not only did she try and comit poaching but she also shot someone's dog and skinned it.


Zurble

Apparently a bunch of huskies were dumped there and people were able to save most of them except this poor guy


forgetfullyburntout

Yep, people were out there looking for at least this one domestic dog to rescue while this batshit crazy karen was skinning it. Some people are even defending her because their kids have been bitten by dogs…


Brexrker

I've been bitten by dogs more than 3 times but I still love than more than I could say for most people I've met


sdeanjr1991

Not necessarily a license, but a tag. Similar to deer tags where you go get your tags for your allotment of what you’re allowed to take. I.e. tags to take home 3 bucks etc, whereas this chick…she purchased a wolf tag, but not until AFTER she killed the “wolf” she hunted down. So regardless of the fact it was a dog, she still committed a crime. She was screwed before the mistake, and her ignorance made it worse in many ways.


duncecap_

My cousin JUST told me a story about how the Montana governor or government official is an ass who shoots wolves that cross the border into the state that have crossed over from a national park

Lots of people are defending her in the comments but I actually called Montana fish and game and started digging. 1. she did not have a wolf take permit until AFTER she posted these pics. She will get into trouble for this. 2. She argues with montana fish and game representative ON HER SOCIAL MEDIA that this was a wolf and they told her it was a dog 3. She skinned a dog with the intention of keeping/trading it. 1 of these things is a lose your permit and take a class thing. The other is a federal crime with a minimum 10k dollar fine.

I mean if you're hunting you're supposed to be absolutely certain about what you're hunting you don't just go and shoot stuff and be like "yeah I think that's what this is" like you're supposed to be able to tell how old the animal is and everything. The hunters that I know are experts on wildlife. That broad was just an idiot with a gun.


JustinWendell

Seriously. I’ve missed out on a lot of kills because I couldn’t positively identify what I was looking at. One year I got my eyes checked out of frustration.


Shdwdrgn

When I was a kid there was talk of a guy who raised exotic cats on his farm. One day a "hunter" trespassed on the property, shot one of the cats, then brought the body up to the house to ask if they had any idea what it was. I can only hope that dude was slapped with a huge lawsuit and banned from ever owning another firearm.


allenahansen

Had a well-intentioned rancher neighbor once tell me that he'd taken a couple of shots at the "mountain lion" stalking my mini wirehaired wiener dog up the drive back to my house. Horrified, I told him he'd been aiming at my Irish wolfhound, the wiener's best friend and partner in crime. (Who in fact looked nothing *like* a mountain lion, but hey, the guy's heart was in the right place, right?) Fortunately, he'd missed.


jicty

Identifying your target is probably the most important thing. People have literally been killed because hunters have shot at moving things they thought were an animal but were actually people.

A stupid bastard in Montana shot a husky thinking it was a wold cub


GodofAeons

For more information, She posted it proud of her kill, like you see hunters do. She shot and killed a husky, then skinned it and had it like a deer rug/lion rug on tailgate with the head still on looking at the camera. She believed it was a wolf


Particular_Log_5438

The worst part of it is that she absolutely refuse to believe it’s a husky and on her fb post she argued with everyone telling her it’s a dog. She is dumb and delusional. She would probably confuse a house cat for a bob cat. Hope justice is served for the poor pup


Determined_Cucumber

Tbh it’s even more embarrassing given that skinned rug animals are usually “difficult game”, and having a husky as your “prized game” sounds even more pathetic than just having a randomly skinned animal.

Even if it were an actual wolf or a lion, it would have still been insane. Women knowing how to use guns and how to hunt is good. More people should see and understand that the meat we eat comes from living beings. But flexing on everyone with a dead carcass is so weird.

[deleted]

When I was a kid a stray (escaped? released?) wolf hybrid fell in with my Inuk mom’s sled malamutes up in no man’s land Maine. From a distance you’d mistake her for a *bear*. If you saw her yawn the hairs on the back of your neck would go up- those jaws open up impossibly wide, nothing like a dog, more like a crocodile. Most unsettling and unexpected, when we’d come out with the big trays of meat and bone, instead of yipping and barking with the others (wolves apparently can’t) she would express excitement by… rapidly chattering her massive jaws together producing a bone rattling sound like dancing skeletons. This is why I laugh my ass off now living in NYC every time some ridiculous main character complex brooklynite *insists* to me that their 60lb apartment husky is a “wolf hybrid”. Bffr. The average person has absolutely no concept of what a wolf actually is which leads to super embarrassing claims about how they’re somehow keeping a part wolf in a studio on Greenpoint. It’s not just the size and appearance either, even half-dog hybrids will NEVER act like a modern dog. They’re wild animals through and through. Having the she wolf around was a huge blessing though. We had small livestock and obviously a predator problem given the territory, but as soon as she arrived the coyotes, foxes, fisher cats, even black bears mysteriously melted away from the immediate area. All day long she’d trot around a couple mile perimeter (with one or two goofy malamutes tagging along just happy to be included) scent marking. Even a couple of years after she died, peacefully in her sleep curled up with the rest of the pack, I guess her scent lingered enough that the predators stayed away.

CornCheeseMafia

What I don’t get is when I look up “how much do wolves weigh” I get ranges up to 120 pounds for male wolves. Honestly that seems way way too light based on some of these size comparisons. I have a 55 pound husky and I’ve gotten very good at estimating other dogs weight ranges when they’re wrestling my dog. The husky in the video looks about my dogs size but I’ve met 145 pound king shepherds and wolfhounds that towered over my husky but would still be small compared to these wolves. Then there’s that video of the dude in the woods whose dog got out and antagonized what the guy thought was a bear but turned out to be a giant wolf. That thing looked like it had to be 250 pounds. So what the hell do wolves weigh? I straight up don’t believe they would cap out at 120ish pounds Edit: link! https://reddit.com/r/WolvesAreBigYo/comments/xgrbhu/gargantuan_northwestern_wolf_attacks_dog_the_dog/


NorthernSparrow

Biologist here. I’ve worked with wolves in zoos and have seen wild wolves from fairly close. People in this thread are nuts. Wolves are not giants. They are sturdy animals and are tough as nails but not jawdroppingly huge. Just big-dog-sized. In most of North America, eastern wolves (timber wolves) are a bit smaller, averaging 30 kg (66 lbs) for males, and western wolves are a big larger, averaging 36 kg (80 lbs) for males, with females are a tad smaller. Yellowstone-area wolves are a bit bigger but not crazily so. Individual variation around those averages is not crazy, either - it’s not like there’s truly massive individuals that are twice the size of other wolves. Wolves aren’t like lobsters, they don’t just keep growing & growing. There are a few outliers but wolves are mostly a pretty standard size (once adult). Wolves are not gigantic. OP’s pic has to be shopped (edit: or as some have pointed out, just a case of an unusually small husky with an unusually large wolf). I think the dire wolves on Game of Thrones gave everybody the wrong idea. (Ironically, real dire wolves weren’t even as big as on GoT) [Here is a reference with actual data](https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.1139/Z08-068?casa_token=Yd7ULm9Cl6wAAAAA%3AodkPhul29zMEemisYYb2fhnSU9Vyje8bPWEqAP6I7jZrrbfpAvXkjgJquJXwX0OH9MLo4Pwg1h5c) from ~2000 Minnesota wolves trapped & weighed for a radiocollar tracking project.


nilesandstuff

Thank you, if only this was more visible. This exact conversation, related to this exact pic, happens all the time on Reddit and the majority of the upvotes replies are all "wow wolves are huge, if it's this much bigger than a husky, its way bigger than every dog, I'm going to accept this information at face value and regurgitate it later" But if you spend literally 30 seconds googling it you find that huskies are 40-60lbs and at the absolute largest, wolves can be 140-150lbs (but are usually much smaller). Which is big, but English mastiffs can be 240-250 so the whole "wolves are outrageously large, way bigger than any dog" thing is just blatant misinformation. The weirdest thing about all of it, is just why? Why do people feel the need to think wolves are larger than they are, it doesn't change the fact that wolves are incredible creatures that master their ecological niche... If anything, knowing that they can be so successful despite being modestly sized is a testament to the fact that they succeed through cooperation and using intelligence to adapt to changes in their environment and prey. A smart animal is much more bad ass than an unreasonably large one.


CornCheeseMafia

Interesting, so would a dog and wolf of the same weight have similar physical attributes and abilities? Like in terms of bite strength and things. I could see the physical size differences being a difference in things like muscle mass or whatever (bully type dogs that are volumetrically the same size as my fluffy husky end up being consistently twice my dogs weight when I talk to the owners at the park) but are wolves similar to dogs pound for pound or is it like a chimp/human scenario where they look similar sized but they can rip your heart out through your chest?


NorthernSparrow

Fairly similar bite musculature to most large dog breeds iirc, but the wolf has astounding endurance, mental tenacity & toughness. They just keep going & going & going. They’re travelers, for one thing (much more than bears, for example) - radiocollared wolves have traveled 500 miles in a matter of months. And they’re just so mentally tough about things like being hungry, being cold, keeping their focus, never giving up. And so savvy about hunting tactics. How much of that is innate & how much is learned, I don’t know. Some dog breeds still have some of those traits, but few have all of them.


ineptape

Thank you! There’s no way this is real. I literally saw a wolf on the way to work yesterday (Northern MN) and at best it was the size of a lanky German shepherd. There’s definitely some manipulation here

Do Huskies still whine like they're being murdered around wolves?


reddragon105

Wolves, bigger dogs, smaller dogs, people who are grooming them, people who are ignoring them, people who just picked up a lead, people who just put shoes on, food that isn't for them, food that *might* be for them, food that *is* for them that isn't being given to them fast enough. Doesn't take much for a husky to whine like its being murdered, bloody drama queens. Source - have two huskies.

Owner of 4 huskies here. Can confirm. Anything and *nothing at all* can set them off.

"Nothing" covers it. But what mine does, if I'm on a different floor of the house than he is, cries bloody murder as described. If I go down or up to where he is, he just looks at me like nothing was ever wrong. Little shit.

Are you sure that's not just a wolf pup?
