WOLF ATTACK - WINTER WOLF SYNDROME & ITS DANGERS
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Every winter, hormones flood wolves' bodies and their character changes turning Dr Jekyll into Mr Hyde. They can growl, defend their habitat and sometimes become untouchable, a shadow of their former, loving self.
Today Animal Watch discusses 'Seasonal Behavioural Aggression', otherwise nicknamed 'Winter Wolf Syndrome' which affects all wolves, but noticeable in captive situations particularly. High Content wolfdogs can suffer from this too.

Hi I need to write here at the top that ‘Winter Wolf Seasonal aggression’ does NOT make wolves in the wild more confident and dangerous to humans. It does not make them kill more sheep or bothersome. I am concerned how many people have written or suggested this. Wolves are only challenging in captivity as they are confident with their keepers. Wild wolves will never approach or challenge people.

I know a mid content that gets winter wolf 5050 mix. But multi generational, some of its siblings threw much higher wolf content genes. It acts the most wolfy out of its siblings. Strangers will get eaten. Wants to escape, gets weirdly vocal and cuddly with the owners and some of its friends. Dislikes and distantnces itself from its dog pack members, only shows interest in other wolf hybrids or the howls of the pure breds where it lives. Goes from being more day time animal to a bit more nocturnal. Worst months she turns into a coyote slayer in terms of she doesn't want them anywhere near her little outside den/shelter and deffs not near the house. She does however get bad winter bulking and gorge eating desires earlier in the year. We believe that's a trait from the spefic mackenzie valley wolf lineage they have or artic wolf would make sense. But certain seasons they'll gorge eat and given plenty of food in captivity they'll gorge up to 37 percent of their body weight per meal if you let them. Instead we cut them back and go to frequent feeding intervals and let them gorge about that amount over a day versus in a meal. Largest sibling or relative dogs eat 60 to 70 pounds of food if allowed, they get cut back a little.
That shocking moment you realize the wild animal you took into your house is a wild animal.
I love wolves. The drive to reproduce is strong in nature. And I can completely understand why they can become agressive.

Wolfdog is a lot different than wild. grey wolf especially a alpha male
My mix breed girl only had pups when she was 6 . They were born in February 2 years ago . Very rough active kids. I always wondered why she didn't had other pups before that. She was raised in a pack of semi stray wild dogs and she had a very hard life before I met her.
Wolves are so beautiful, love them and love your channel 💖
Winter wolf syndrome is no joke. Dealing with it now. Breeding season is tough. My female is a very nice "loving" animal, except right now lol. When she goes in heat, it sets off the wolf dog winter attitude through the pack lol.
Love how you tell people to do their research and not take one if you can't handle it. There are still too many people who just pick a animal and when it doesn't work for them just dump it.
had to say im really impressed that it really is something and not some clickbait bullshit. interesting and educational.
Wolves are not dogs, despite looking very much like them. They are not a good choice to keep as pets. They need tremendously secure enclosures, and their nature is running wild and free. It is sad to imprison them and try to make pets out of them.
My favourite animal wolf 🐺
I want to add that I feel like winter wolf syndrome and seasonal aggression are 2 different behaviors..... WWS you can't get anywhere near the containment and SA is winter grumblies that aren't as intense. SA can also affect other lower contents, it's not just limited to highs. My lower mid has a low dose of winter grumblies right now. She isn't being mean or anything, just being more opinionated over things she usually isn't.
I almost got a dog from Vickie a few years ago, a white high content wolf dog puppy. So beautiful, but my sister pointed out that owning wolf dogs is not legal in my state of Maryland. I ended up with another Samoyed, and recently a Yakutian Laika. I'm happy with my pack, and love your videos.

Get a german shepherd they all have wolf ancestry. Norwegian elkhound and related Sami breeds are also all ancestral wolf hybrids.
I didn't know this news about wolves and I thank you very much for sharing this fantastic video Anneka! Very compliments to you and your handsome Kal-el 👍👍👍🥰🔥🐺
I guess the cold isn't shrinking those "nuts". I never realized that was a thing, considering that I often considered most animals getting their freak on just before the fall season because SOME animals hibernate and give birth during the winter so that they are ready for the Spring which is when new babies appear. But I never thought some dog breeds can get sexually anxious or aggressive during the Winter season. But it makes so much sense.

Most animals actually breed in the spring, with a select few breeding year round, in the fall, or winter.
Beautiful wolves.
So, nothing to do with fullmoon. I´m disappointed... Ok, now seriously, i did not knew that. Thanks for the info, Anneka.
Very great answer to the problems you often found with people having trouble with wolf dogs, it is because you really understand these animals. It is amazing you are helping others to better understand wolves as well as our fellow dogs.

Jeez Louise!!! Scary stuff. Hi, just yesterday I commented on your vid regarding Kal and Show Huskies - I live in southern Ontario Canada where the temperatures go from extreme heat and humidity 35C + to very very cold -25C, I am moving 250km north where the winters are longer and summers shorter and am considering a Husky. (I have had German Shepherd, English Sheepdog, Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner(smartest of them all by far) Up north I suppose a Husky would be happier. I also watched you video on high content wolf dogs, most interesting. Getting to my point and question. I believe I have a basic understanding of what constitutes a high content wolf dog being lineage, however, is it possible that some dog breeds, Husky, Malamute, Samoyed, Inuit dogs who have kept the external appearance of wolves also have traces of winter wolf syndrome? I know I know for you experts this may be clear cut but to a layman..well I am just doing my homework 🙂 I want an active outdoor dog, having only had "family" dogs would the northern life with a husky be too much and should I get a Golden Retriever or a Bernese Mountain dog? LOL Anyhoo, thanks to those who choose to pitch in. I enjoy reading all animal lovers comments. Thanks A.S. for this most interesting and informative series of videos. Cheers!
🐾 what a great a great representation of these beautiful creatures, and educational opportunities for those who may want these dogs with no knowledge
Thank you for yet another great video! Would love if you could do a video about Borzoi and investigate into the history about them as wolf hunters.
This condition is common in most natural living animals from birds to deer . There may have been a time when we were the same. The effect of the moon on hormone production is evident in animals . As someone who has worked in a hospital A&E department I can tell you Friday night on a full moon peoples behaviour can be very odd🤪

I am so glad I found this channel and I have watched your channel and in particular videos about wolves. I know they are wonderful and majestic beings with great expression, however humanity and its mistakes have mis portrayed these wonderful beings. The reason for which I can fully help you on where it comes from; My studies are in Ancient Sumerian cuneiform and culture (dedicated my life to it) and since they are the oldest proven written language then I can further help. In ancient Sumer (Ancient Southern Iraq for those whom are unaware) the subject of a 'dog' had a dualistic nature and its dependant on what type it was. The dog of a city or household dog was sacred as its saliva was believed to have healing properties. Now dogs back then were not the cute fluffy things they are now, back then on average were the size of Bullmastiffs AND they could get much LARGER. However there was another type of dog that was not as venerated and in Sumerian this was named UR-Barra (literally translated to Outside Dog) in other words a wolf. Of course there was Ur-Tibra meaning puppy dog and so on. The LAST SUMERIAN king (literally the last of the Sumerian periods whom actually died in the mountains fighting the Guntee tribe) of the Sumerian times was called UR-Nammu (see the tablet of UR-Nammu as evidence). So to sum up man's WRONGFUL impression of wolves started in the Ancient Sumerian times. The Sumers got so many things right (otherwise we would not have had the many advances we have today=base 60 and irrigation farming being the least of them) and I admire their culture greatly, However in this instance they got it WRONG!
really enjoyed the video great job!!!!!!!! safe Travels 👣 👣🐾🐾

When will you do an episode on THE WORLDS BEST GUARD DOG + MOST LOYAL LOVING FAMILY DOG called SHAR-PLANIANA DOG or SHARPLANINAC. They have the same origin as Caucasian dog & Karst Shepard but they are among the Oldest dog breeds in the world as they were used in army or Alexander the great (330b.c.) and were used as war dogs in Second Aryan Campagne 1340b.c. and in First Aryan Campagne 2100b.c. And still they are the most loving and gentle dogs to their owners. We want to see SHARPLANINA DOG in Animal Watch.
Thanks. I did not know that about wolves breading in the winter. I am not in the mountains in the winter. But I take plenty of protection in the mountains. I never want to hurt any animal. But I do not want to be there lunch.lol.good video I thought I knew everything. But I do know every thing about bears.i studded them for 30 years.

Some HC wolf dogs can have either one or two seasons a year dependant on {and not always set in stone} twice per year especially if another female is in heat !
So,one should wait till the wolves testicles go back to normal or all four months?and how to know a female is out of that syndrome?
What if they have some little toy/decoy for the wolf so he can relieve a little stress every now and then during the season haha. Would that help?

I am greatful that here in the USA, people keeping a wolf dog hybrid as a pet is extremely limited. I have volunteered my skills in animal rescue for over 12 years. In that time I have not seen one wolf dog, nor have any shown up in city shelters. In my experience, I have seen people get a dog for all the wrong reasons. Then when the dog does not live up to their ridiculous expectations, they dump the dog at the local shelter or worse yet they abandon the dog to fend for himself at the side of the road.
