They’re just big dogs.
Belly rubs and human flesh
I know there is some forced perspective here but, sheesh wolves are big.
how come so many think a wolf is soooo big, the average wolf weighs slightly under 40kg. yes, there are some wolfs with recorded weight of almost 80kg, but there is also specimen weighing only 12kg. but, they have long legs and are on average 85 cm at their shoulder. as a comparison, i have a bullboxer (staffordshire bullterrier/boxer cross) and he weighs 45kg but his height is only 60cm at his shoulder. i had a St Bernard many years ago, he was even large for his breed, that was weighing 115kg…now that is large. oh…and he was 108cm to his shoulders.
Because humans hunted wolves nearly to extinction basically everywhere they exist because they were relatively dangerous to us.
We have made them larger in media and paintings and basically anywhere a wolf is imaged.
“Big bad wolf” is the common idea.
Have you come face to face with a wolf before? I went to a preserve and 2 ran out to lick my face. I took one on a walk. I’ve played with great danes ,bernards, Irish wolfhounds, newfies, mastiffs, it’s not the same.
Ive worked in a house where the owner had a pet wolf. It was fucking huge. Idk why you feel the need to say that there are small wolves, but i havent seen one.
i dont feel a need to say that there are small wolves. at least not more than everyone who need to say that wolves are big, every time there is a wolf in the picture. many years ago i had my dream summer job at a zoo, handling wolves, 14 of them, ranging from 30 to 54kg. so yes, there are big ones, but not all are that big.
Wolves come in different species. Canadian Timber Wolves are frigging huge. Not as big as a St Bernard huge, but still 80kg huge.
They are one species, like dogs, the variety is quite high. Wolves have numerous subspecies. As with other mammals, it’s quite common to find the largest ones closer to the poles.
As i wrote, there are specimen weighing 80kg, but that is not as one weighs 80kg so all of them are.
Awww to arrrrggggh! in 5 seconds flat

AI :/
This picture is like 8 years old.
It predates AI
Oof, not this time I don’t think.
Classic play of camera angle and depth of field
Folks I have a strong feeling that animal is dead. The lady’s got a gun on her back.
I think you’re wrong, doggo looks alive in this pic. Gun on the back should probably be best practice when hiking in the wilderness (especially when in wolf/bear country)
Really? It looks quite alive to me, I would assume that pose and expression take some muscle tension to hold. But tbh, if there were wolves that big around me, I would carry a gun as well. You know, just in case, I’d rather look stupid than become the statistic anomaly.
