This is exactly how I behave when I have any encounter like this. Then a pack of wolves comes out of nowhere and devours me.

I logged in to say this.

Wow. You're an asshole. I hope that's actually you're face your using to argumentum ad baculum your way to 'more respect'. I'll know who to avoid.

I, too, am surprised at the comments on this video. As someone said above, it's just an excuse to hate. That impetus certainly seems strong in you.

I can't say the above without giving you another option. You can change it. Corny but very true explanation: http://morethansayings.blogspot.ca/2012/03/battle-between-two-wolves.html>> ^gwiz665:

If you're bored, go some place else.

Yeah, the theological angle is the one to concentrate on, how fucking predictably boring. Back on topic, the mother needs a slap.

I've been fucking men for 19 years. No i'm not gay.

riiiiiiiiiiight.

I've seen the same mentality reported in other prison documentaries, the raper is never the gay one, the rapee is the one thats gay/bitch/ladyboy/feminine/ect. Its a way of empowering the raper of taking what he wants, and in prison there's not much to take.



That's relatively common in many social animals as well. Wolves/Dogs will hump as a sign of dominance. Apes and chimps are known to do this. I have no idea of the biology involved, but as this prison seems barely a step up from the rule of the jungle this isn't surprising.



Also, where else but Videosift can this video be followed by "Cute Pandas playing on a slide"?

In case you're wondering... dogs have been hanging out with humans for over 25000 years. Cats have been sponging off us for less than 10000.

If you think humans evolved to where we are without those furry brothers, you would be wrong.

The ability of dogs/wolves to "read" human emotions is unparalleled. Neither apes nor cetaceans nor cats have demonstrated the depth of understanding that dogs have consistently shown for their human companions. Show me a cat that can not only know when an epileptic attack is about to occur, but will alert her friend to it before it happens.

Make Mick the manager of Wolves again, they fell apart and he can get them back into the Premier League.

Also he looks like the train from Goldeneye.

always play the submissive

As if you have a choice who plays what.


Bears are badasss. And dangerous. But then Dogs evolved from Wolves...

Well, I'm sure whoever did it was actually trying to kill him, not wound him. Maybe some farmer caught him in bed with his wife...?
Why is everyone so quick to judge whoever shot it and not the wolf itself? Wolves are awesome animals but, they are not gentle creatures. Just ask Liam Neeson.
Under different circumstances, that "poor little guy" would be more than happy to tear your face off. And then someone would be licensed to shoot it, most likely for a reward.>> ^EMPIRE:

Poor little guy. Wolves are such beautiful creatures. Whoever did this is a fucking animal (no pun intended)

Should this be in the love channel?


Yes, but o/~ what is *love? o/~

Seems the entire hobbit company save one are for comedy relief. Hope I'm wrong. Can't remember one goofball in the book

Well - to be perfectly fair - very few of the 13 dwarves had any kind of role at all in the book. The only major exception was Thorin - who was given a very stubborn/arrogant/long-winded role integral to the end of the story.

Aside from that the dwarves only had VERY minor roles that hardly ever showed up.
Balin was sort of a friend/mentor role as he was the one who was most friendly to Bilbo. He also was sort of a 'background' teller as he was the oldest and had been around a lot. Also he was lookout. Bombur was a comic-relief useless fat load whose incompetence & weight caused problems. Fili and Kili were the 'young' dwarves but didn't do hardly anything. Dori a couple of times ended up carrying Bilbo around on his back or by his legs and whined about it. Ori, Nori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur or Dwalin hardly did a thing at all. By and large, the entire company of dwarves were nothing but a bunch of hostages that had to be rescued. They were captured by trolls, captured by goblins, captured by wolves, captured by spiders, captured by elves, and then cringed behind rocks as Bilbo faced Smaug.

I knew this was going to have to happen though. You can't have a group of 13 dwarves on the big-screen for 2+ hours and have only two or three of them with a personality. I knew that PJ was going to give each of the dwarves a 'character' to play which would go WAY beyond what was provided in the book. So I'm not surprised by this at all. Neither should anyone else. It was inevitable that the dwarves (except Thorin) would probably end up having comic roles just so they weren't entirely without purpose. It will be odd, and seem out of step with the book but there really isn't anything else that can be done. The dwarves have to have SOMETHING to do, or they might as well just have Bilbo and Thorin haul around 12 logs.

Wolves are not capable of love. Last I checked that is, you dont know what an animal is feeling.

This is an incredible series. I've lost count of the number of times I said WOW during this episode. There was a scene with two wolves hunting a Bison and it was nature stripped bare. As simple as it gets, predator and prey, in the wild. You don't know who is going to win, you just know that whichever one loses, loses everything.

There was more drama in that one episode than there is in a whole week of soap operas.

I don't know what it is about the BBC's natural history unit, but I've never seen anything from anyone else even come close to what they seem to be able to do. I suspect that when you work with someone as inspirational as Sir David Attenborough you give it everything you've got.

He's really smart...humans would probably try to help one of their own because of their stupid feelings. Humans don't have the guts to be like Scumbag Bison and just kick their best friend in the chest right into the wolves and make a clean escape. Stupid humans with their damn feelings.

Wikipedia: "Of the total number presented, only 15,000 total individuals are considered wild bison in the natural range within North America (free-ranging, not confined primarily by fencing)."
Every news outlet last week: "The seven billionth person was born..."
I think stupid humans with their damn feelings are totally winning!
