[Animals] Can wolves be tamed....!?

[ʟᴜᴄɪ፝֟ꜰᴇʀ]

The wolf is known as one of the beasts that humans are quite afraid of. Apart from being known to be savage, wolves also have some physical similarities to dogs, but are wilder in nature. It is not surprising that wolves have some similarities with dogs, because these two animals still come from the same family, namely Canis. In fact, the wolf is the largest member of the genus Canis and has an interesting relationship with humans. Quoted from Wonderopolis, humans describe wolves as wild animals that like to make howling sounds. Wolves rarely attack humans, but many feel terrified when faced with this animal. The reason is because wolves often attack pets and livestock that are owned by humans. The wolf is the ancestor of dogs. It is estimated that around 20 thousand and 40 thousand years ago, the ancestors of these dogs underwent a process of domestication (taming wild or wild animals) through evolution. Until now, dogs have become one of the favorite pets of humans.

 

Can wolves be tamed....!?
 Experts explain that wolves are very difficult to tame. Because the majority of these herds have a much higher quality of life in the wild. Humans of course will also find it difficult to make ends meet for a wolf. Launching from the Saint Francis Wolf Sanctuary website, wolves need a lot of space to roam around, as a form of their natural instincts. These animals also cannot eat any food, because their digestive system has undergone an adaptation process for hundreds of thousands of years. As carnivores, wolves need raw meat for growth and survival. The pattern of space and food is very different from that of dogs, which is the main reason why wolves cannot be tamed or even kept.

 

The natural instincts of wolves and dogs
 Quoting from Seeker, experts say that dogs and wolves have very different early growth periods. So that even as adults, the instincts and characteristics of these two animals are different. Dogs can be humans' best friends and wolves can still be wild animals. At the age of two weeks, wolves are still blind, deaf and trying to recognize their surroundings. When their hearing and vision sensors start to activate, wolves have a sensory shock so they tend to feel scared. Unlike dogs, when their hearing and vision sensors are active, dogs tend to like and try to explore this ability. Dogs do not have sensory shocks and so are not afraid of changes in them. A puppy at two weeks old cannot get up and walk around. Meanwhile, when the wolf pups are two weeks old, they are able to walk vigorously, explore their surroundings, and begin to climb small hills. The researchers revealed that humans only need 90 minutes of interaction to eliminate fear and become more familiar with puppies. This interaction can begin when the puppies are four and eight weeks old. As for the wolf pups, humans have to interact for 24 hours straight to get rid of a little fear and build intimacy with these animals. Interaction with wolf pups should begin before three weeks of age.
