Tbf there are other subspecies of wolves than the gray wolf and those are often smaller than huskies.
Huskies average 60lbs which is a bit more than half my weight. I grew up with huskies so I’m familiar with their size, as medium/medium-large dogs. Based on this pic, I feel like a wolf would be like my size or up to 20% larger than I am.
Did some searching. According to Wikipedia they aren’t a lot shorter than I am either. 4.5 foot from the ground, to my 5.2 foot. If you go nose to tail they beat me hands-down.
Body mass ranges from 30-175 lbs, I fall squarely within those numbers at around 115 lbs.
Therefore, this wolf likely actually is bigger than me in at least two metrics. I’m only taller from the floor if they stay on all fours, and that’s all I have going for me. I also don’t have giant predator teeth.
I’m really glad we have civilization. I’d for sure be prey.
I checked Wikipedia as well:
I thought it was the beginning of a joke for a moment
Those look like some big fuckin ravens
Ravens ARE big. About as large as a golden eagle, larger than a falcon or a kite. It’s the crows that are just a bit bigger than pigeons.
According to Wikipedia, the Common Raven (most common raven across the entire Northen Hemisphere) measures about 25in in length. That’s just over 2ft. So definitely not a small bird.
perhaps it’s time to get a pointy stick.
I don’t think that would be enough… I know what fighting dogs of husky size looks like… no thanks.
maybe two pointy sticks then.
I’m not specced to dual-wield, but I’ll give it a go with penalties!
Ahh, what you want is a boar spear. Also several friends with the same.
Pointy sticks are OP bro you got this
Not bro, but still hope so! 😛
I’d have been a wicked fierce Amazonian, had that been my culture. Wolves? Ha!
Original bro would be a nice mod for OP
Wolf is looking for the button to turn the toy wolf off, because they can’t stand the “AWOOOOOWOOOO-OH-OHHH” noise any more.
Bane voice Do you feel in charge?
You think the forest is your ally? You merely adopted the forest. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see a city until I was already a grown wolf, and by then it was nothing to me but terrifying!
Peace has cost you your strength. Domestication has defeated you.
If wolves are so large, why are most dogs so much smaller and thise that are the same size have short life spans and many health complications?
Selective breeding
No duh, i am more wondering why the larger ones are so fucked when the origin species isn’t.
Oh. It’s because of selective breeding.
In general, aggressive selective breeding involves pulling from a smaller gene pool, which results in congenital problems. Wolves breed naturally, so evolution ensures they can survive well.
It’s basically the same reason we don’t have incest babies. More or less.Unless your sibling is hot. Then you are good to go.
Cuz the government hid the real wolves and distributed the portable versions.
An untrained 10lbs chihuahua is less dangerous than an untrained 120lbs Rottweiler. Some domestic dog breeds are bigger than any wolf, like the mastiff.
Life flashes before his eyes…
must not breath, must not blink, must not whine
You think they peed a lil bit
On each other? Or collaboratively at the same target?
🤷
“yes”?
Fren?
That wolf still knows the lyrics to Wait by the Ying Yang Twins
